    Can I add baby chicks to a mama that has 2 week old chicks?

    I had 4 chicks that I hatched in the brooder then my broody hen (not sure the breed, some sort of game hen maybe) hatched 10 eggs. The kittens were chasing the babies, so we brought mom and babies inside and put them in the brooder with the 4 that were already in there...they were maybe a week...

    Eggs hatched (Pictures)

    I hatched Auracanas today, too. Bought from a member here. Out of the 13 I received, 11 developed, and 5 hatched. I didn't bother to crack the others to see how far they got. I just tossed them. But when I candled on day 18, all of the shells were good and full.

    Duck Eggs Day 26, power outage, what do you think???

    It's day 22 on some eggs that I've got in the bator that got unplugged not once but TWICE this cycle. And both time the temp dropped to 78 degrees before I realized that it was unplugged. I thought for sure these eggs were goners, but low and behold late last night they started pipping. I had...

    Chick toes PICS!

    HA! I found the culprit. It seems that big daddy White Rock is not the daddy after all. We have another rooster, a bantam, that I though didn't stand a chance with the big guy's girls. But I went and looked and sure enough the little guy has 5 toes, too. I have no idea what breed he...

    6 hens, will only use one nesting box

    I have 9 hens and they all lay in one box. I have tried everything but they don't want to lay anywhere but that one box. I give up.

    Question regarding free range chickens

    My chicken free range on my 1 acre fenced with no problem. There's actually nothing keeping them in the fence since it's livestock fence and only 4ft high (it's mostly for the goats). But for the most part they all stay where I want them too.

    Yolk Sack...again!

    days 1-18 temp 101-102 (still air) humidity 35%-45% 18 until hatch, same temps, humidity 65-75% I DID NOT help it hatch. My DH and DD helped the one last time and this time I won't let them near it. The sac is broken now and it's about an inch long or so. The chick is walking around...

    Yolk Sack...again!

    IN my last hatch, I had a baby hatch with the yolk sack unabsorbed and the poor thing was dragging this bloody mess around until we culled it. Last night (day 20) I had one hatch and it's got the same problem. What is going on? Are my temps to high and they are starting to hatch too early...

    Your dream farm/home

    Silly question...does anyone let their Chickens swim like Ducks?

    I have a small kiddie pool out in the yard for the ducks and when I'm refilling it, I always let it run over quite a bit so there's lots of water on the ground. The chickens love it. They walk around in it, peck at it, drink it up, but they don't swim. But when I turn that hose on, they...

    ROO PROBLEM

    My rooster started attacking the kids (jumping at them and pecking the backs of their legs) and he tried to jump on me (I kicked him across the yard for that)... I'm not ready to put him in the stewpot just yet, so now we carry a stick when we go in with the chickens. He leaves us alone now...

    Weird egg! PIC

    I'm not sure. I think it was one of my older hens, but I don't know how old she is. She was already laying big eggs when we got her in late April, so I'm thinking she's between 1-2. I've never had another like that, though.
