    First Time Broody Hen Hatch -- Help and Tips Wanted

    Okay, the hens are young and in their egg-laying prime, so that's not a problem. I have marked the eggs so far. What would be the most suitable shelter to separate her in? I believe I have a large dog kennel.

    First Time Broody Hen Hatch -- Help and Tips Wanted

    Oh, no, she's a bantam. It's just the rest of the flock are bantams as well, so I was meaning there wasn't a normal sized hen that could come and wreck havoc. My entire flock are layers, so I always gave them layer crumbles and oyster shell. Is this not correct? What will happen if I don't...

Yet I'm supossed to separate her from the flock after two weeks? When can her and the chicks go back? I feed them layer crumbles and Oyster shell, and they get have...

    First Time Broody Hen Hatch -- Help and Tips Wanted

    My Booted Bantam has gone broody. This is the first time one of my chickens have gone broody, and my first broody hatch (although I have hatched from an incubator before.) I'm highly excited, yet I'm not as informed as with the incubator since this was a huge surprise. I was wondering if anyone...

    Green Cheek Conure Poop Question?

    Marley is a five month old Green Cheek Conure. I do not know a gender but but for the sake of a pronoun, I will call it a he. He has been eliminating normally, yet it's been bright red because some of the pellets he eats are red. He is fed pellets, seeds, with apples and grapes. When I uncovered...

    Questions about the Liability and Roaming Distance of Free-range Chickens.

    I didn't mean to have my morals be judged or make it seem I was lacking in that area. More if there was special insurance I needed to cover this or general insurance had coverage.

    Questions about the Liability and Roaming Distance of Free-range Chickens.

    Thanks for replying! Our neighbors are approx. 500-550 feet away, if that makes an ounce of difference.

    Questions about the Liability and Roaming Distance of Free-range Chickens.

    We've had seven chickens (6 RIR and 1 OEGB) that have lived in a coop and run for many months now. However, we have seriously contemplated letting them free-range. Yet we do have a few questions, such as the roaming distance and liability. Are chickens likely to run into the road and cause...

    Introduced Chicken Killed By Other Established Chicken - What Can I do?

    The chicken was rather docile and flighty and never seemed to challenge any of the other chickens, which is why we were surprised.

    Introduced Chicken Killed By Other Established Chicken - What Can I do?

    I had a total of seven chickens that were bought and put into quarantine. The quarantine time was over and I added them to my run of eleven chickens. The run was not overcrowded. I put them in a dusk and all seemed well. This morning all seemed well. However, later on in the morning, a chicken...

    I've got some cracked eggs - Should I just throw out?

    More Info - I'm on day seven. I think the cracks have been there for at least a day, since I found them cracked. Some look hairline, some bigger.

    I've got some cracked eggs - Should I just throw out?

    I have some cracked eggs in my incubator. Is there any way they could hatch or should I just throw them out?

    Is this perhaps a mix?

    Thanks so much! She certainly is a beauty.:)

    Is this perhaps a mix?

    Thanks! Is that a paticularly rare breed or is it just a breed? I only have the Millie Fluer D'Uccles.

    Sorry for the inactivity, but no problems! :)

    Is this perhaps a mix?

    I just got her today and the seller did not know the breed, but said she is very young. I'm presuming it's a mix, but I am not sure. She is very sweet. I'm sorry about how the pictures are and my hand, so I understand if you can't tell from the pictures.

    New Chicks on the Block (Which is an Incubator, but it's Close Enough to a Block)

    Day Four Again, not much has happened. Evelyn has not pipped, and my other chicks are being cute and loud. I almost wish I could know I little Evie would hatch or not, since I have eggs that are getting on the old side that need to be incubated soon. I have no good pictures - the pictures I'm...

    New Chicks on the Block (Which is an Incubator, but it's Close Enough to a Block)

    Day Three Chicks certainly do grow quickly. Whatever Charlie was doing has settled and they seem to be in peace. Not much has happened, to be honest. Just Cuteness. That's all that happened in my hatched chick land. In my unhatched chick land, things are not looking well. Charla has died...
