    Rescued a young crow a few days ago

    Crows are amazingly smart. If they had thumbs, they would be running the show instead of us.

    In my next life, I'd like to come back as one of your chickens. Also, your whole set up reminds me of a putt-putt golf set up!!

    Dumb Question About Fertilization

    I would crack a few eggs to check and see if they are fertile or not, rather than relying on incubating them to see. There's a sticky somewhere with excellent pictures of what you are looking for in fertile eggs.

    I was born in a frying pan--Fantastic Five!!

    oh, dear. These poor little peeps are going to need therapy. Hatching in a skillet!! You're supposed to COOK eggs in a skillet, not hatch them! That's like being born in a morgue or something... looks great, and I hope all the rest of them have a great hatch for you. Start saving up for...

    WHAT does FRAGILE mean?

    Quote: HA!! I remember doing the same sort of experiment in school, I think it was junior high. The kids came up with some creative solutions to keep the egg intact. Mine didn't make it, lol.

    Chicks look the same! How do I tell them apart!?

    if you cut the excess tail of the zip tie off as close as possible to the part it goes through, they are nearly impossible to accidently tighten. Just make the loop big enough not to fall off their foot while they are still growing, make SURE to check the tightness at regular intervals, and...

    A happy fun story I wanted to share!

    I love that you used a fishing spear to save it! Sounds like maybe Doppy isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, eh?

    [pictures] Spent some time in the yard today. *updated pics, page 2*

    omg, that buff one is gigantic I read somewhere Buff Orpingtons described as a "cross between a basketball and a feather duster" Yours seems to fit that description perfectly!

    Throw out my eggs for 28 days!!!!!

    she did a gram stain, which helps ID kinds of bacteria. it sounds to me like she thinks they may have an infection of something that she wasn't able to find, and is putting them on the medicine "just in case" That med will kill bacteria and protozoans, which live in water. Think...types of...

    When to feed

    plus, if you've used mechanical means to kill the rats and not poison, you can toss the dead rats to the chickens! have to make those rats pay for all the food they've eaten

    My coop is hard to clean. Impossible to clean well.

    While that coop is ADORABLE, this is one reason I'm planning to make everything big enough for me to walk into. still...super cute. I'm wondering if you can modify the runs so the whole top lifts up?

    Where does one buy the ingredients to mix your own feed

    Quote: If you're using that type of feed, then you may as well just be buying factory-farmed eggs. this statement makes no sense. also, instead of just making pronouncements, you could offer alternative solutions. To the OP: i've never tried it myself, but everything I've ever read says...

    opening for the hens

    depends on how fat your chickens are!! you could probably make it around 10 x 10, but I don't know if I'd go smaller, unless they are bantams. 12 x 12 sounds good to me

    Straw bale rooster bunker ;)

    That is a great idea! I'm wondering if maybe a big dog crate would be a little safer, then surround it with bales. I'd be nervous that one of the bales would slip and squash the poor guys!

    Wheel date calculator?

    they are called "date forecaster" wheels or "date finder" wheels. Not sure where you can get one. I got one from my work, given away by valve manufacturers! Very useful for planning seed starting dates and such.

    day 24, no pips

    If you can't candle, then I'd wait a couple more days! I've read so many stories of eggs hatching on day 24 or 25.
