    Hen with a broken leg!!

    Yeah, I have separated the Roo and have considered taking him back honestly. I have a 30 by 16 run and a 10 by 16 house for them and all of my birds get along nicely in it, I just can't have a roo that is aggressive like this. Especially after taking all of the steps to make their meeting a...

    Hen with a broken leg!!

    No, I didn't just throw him into my flock. I have had very good look acclimating new birds into my flock, I have never had an issue before.. I am not at home right now but once I am home I can get a picture of it. I had to goto work today. :( She is able to move it but she can't put any weight...

    Hen with a broken leg!!

    I got a new rooster (The owner swore he was friendly :tongue) and he attacked my crested cream legbar hen. He broke her leg and I have no idea what to do.

    Baby chicks outside? Help!

    There's special heaters that just heat the brooder and are meant for coops, they're fire safe. I was thinking of getting one of those.

    Hatching shipped eggs tips

    I met a really great breeder on ebay that definitely does not fit into that category.. But every other one I have gotten was awful. Maybe I need to just learn to pick them better like you said.. I just have been devastated with the amount of disappointment I've had lately.

    Baby chicks outside? Help!

    ok please for the love of chickens tell me that I can keep my chicks outside! I have an upwards of 70 chicks, guineas, peafowl and ducks INSIDE in brooders and I'm done! Can I put them in a brooder guard in my coop? It gets in the 90s during the day and 50-70s at night. By coop, I mean that I...

    Free range or no?

    I have a 5 foot tall fence with no roof yet and I haven't had a single chicken, guinea, goose, or turkey escape. They all load themselves back into their house at night (except the geese, they have to be carried in because they are spoiled.) and I just lock them up for the night.

    Hatching shipped eggs tips

    Sadly, before I found this forum I was buying eggs off of ebay.. And those were the ones that weren't hatching right. Way too much money put in and not enough results.. But I have learned my lesson.

    Hatching shipped eggs tips

    Yeah I counted a full 24 as one day. They've all been at least a day late. Idk what I'm doing wrong. I've used a hydrometer and kept everything stable and everything. The first two hatch was the incubators fault (my eggs I got from near by) it malfunctioned twice so I returned it. But these two...

    Hatching shipped eggs tips

    I opened them up and most of them hadn't developed. The ones that did made it to lockdown and just quit. All of them have hatched late also. I just had 8 out of 13 quail hatch from shipped eggs.
