    My birds are still dropping like flies. PLEASE help me!

    I do not know what may have infected them but I do suggest you take them to a local avian vet to be diagnosed and treated. It seems like you have a serious problem here!

    Keeping a rooster with your flock

    Whether or not you keep a rooster in your flock is up to you. If you want fertile eggs, you must have a rooster, however, you do not have to have a rooster in your flock to have eggs. Roosters will begin to act aggressive in some ways in order to protect their hens. They may become braver and...

    Communty nestig box vs individual

    This is normal behavior for a chicken. Chickens like to lay in tight spaces so I wouldn't recommend you cutting out the dividers, Also, hens tend to lay in the same place as others and where eggs are already layed. If you would like to attempt to change this, you can put golf 's balls and dummy...

    Hova Bator Genesis- question about temps

    I usually go with the thermometers that are at egg level, especially if there is three. There is a lot of people who says that this happens and usually the response is trust the thermometers not built into the incubator! edited by staff

    How old does this silkie hen look to you ?

    Has the Silkie started laying yet? If not I would say it is about 3-5 months old. If it has started laying, I would have to say it's hard to tell

    Sudden unexplained death of hen! I'm sad and baffled. :(

    How old was Silver? If she was an older bird it may have been caused by old age and it may have been her time to go. I walked into my coop one morning to find one of my favorite hens, Sassy, dead on the floor. She was about 4-5 years old so it was just her time to go. Other than that, I don't know.

    When you incubate eggs do they have to be fertile??

    Yes, they must be fertile in order to hatch. You cannot tell whether or not an egg is fertile just by looking at it, however, after about 5-8 days in the incubator you can tell if the egg is fertile or not by candling the egg. If you have an older rooster in the flock, the chances of you having...
