    PLEASE HELP I DON"T KNOW WHAT TO DO

    They can use them well...some are more delicate using than others. I use them for breeding pairs or hens with chicks to keep the water clean. Give them a little water in the cup below and squeeze the bottle a bit when they are near so they can see the water. They are very quick learners.

    PLEASE HELP I DON"T KNOW WHAT TO DO

    Hi Don't know if you sorted out your water situation but you could use a couple of rabbit water bottles to attach to the outside. Also a couple of d cups to catch any drips to keep any bedding dryer.

    Granny's gone and done it again

    Hi...I started reading this thread again a couple of weeks ago...granny if your needing somewhere for your shrimp why not use a breeder net in a larger tank...I used to keep a few baby guppies in them to stop them getting eaten. I tried the floating plastic ones but they kept getting through...

    Help!! 9 week old LF Cochins missing feathers.

    I would keep an eye on the bird with feathers to make sure it isn't the one doing the picking. It could just have become a habit from boredom or overcrowding rather than a deficiency.

    What breed is this chick?

    Sorry, didn't think before I posted that...its just another term for a broody hen. They can be sexed like any other red sex link as a chick.

    What breed is this chick?

    A gold top is a sex link, a gold silkie roo over a light Sussex hen. They're great clockers. If it is a gold top white roos and gold hens.

    Do blue partridge wyandottes breed true?

    I was considering getting another colour of wyandottes. I know blue laced dont breed true. Just wondering if blue partridge or blue pencilled breed true, or does any blue colour breed true? Thanks

    Keeping one goat

    When your hen is a rooster?!? (so many questions)

    No time limit on them, the embryos won't start to develop until a hen goes broody and starts to sit on them. I only have fertile eggs and have never had any problems.

    What in the heck.....HELP please

    Put it back in the bator and keep the humidity as high as possible, hopefully it will absorb the rest.

    Help! My Rooster tried to attack me!

    ...when your in the pen. Call your hens over for some treats and keep him away. Keep doing it until he learns to stay away from you. Make him move as far away as possible when you enter the pen every time, no exceptions. Thats what another dominant bird would do so you have to do the same to him...

    Help! My Rooster tried to attack me!

    If I were you I would just get rid of the roo and look for a new better mannered bird, most would probably be free. Plenty of people that can't keep a roo would give one to a good home. If you want to try to keep him I would take your stick with you and chase him away before he goes to attack...

    Help! My Rooster tried to attack me!

    Letting your husband do it won't make any difference for you, it's you he doesn't respect. You have to be the person to show dominance over the bird that's attacking you.

    Help with incubation

    Is there definitely a viable embryo? Have you candled them to make sure they are still alive?

    New babies and a list of possible breeds. Any guesses?

    The first 2 look like wyandottes, don't see any welsummers. I don't keep any of the other breeds so not sure.
