    I guess before I try this, I should check and see if it would even work! Has anyone ever exchanged eggs for chicks under a broody hen? Will a hen likely accept and raise them, or abandon them? I assume it would work ok with fertile eggs, wouldn't it? My three silkie hens once co-eggsat and...

    Hello! It has been a while! I know I missed a lot. It was taking forever to catch up so I jumped to the end! Lol! I had a predator kill my very special girl, a Basque Hen named Yellow, along with her daughter Sunshine, and my BCM, Ethyl. Betty is the only one left. It has only been a few days...

    Chick with injured leg?

    My little 2 week old chick, Peanut, who was hatched by mama, has a sore, dangling leg she will not use. We noticed it Monday. It had not improved by Tuesday so we brought her in and gave her electrolytes and vitamins in her water and chick food. She was crying, so we brought in one of the mamas...

    One eye closed, one open?

    My girl has one eye closed and is acting tired. I wondered if she was just really tired, as it got quite hot today. How did things turn out for these chickies mentioned here? I want to help her.

    Oh dear! I am so very sorry. What a horrific experience! It is so frustrating to want to help with all your heart while knowing that they need more than you have. Hugs to you!

    @sternrose - This is great advice! Just keep it simple. "Hey, how'd ya like to go the dance with me on Friday?" The worst that can happen is that he will say no. Smile, look him in the eye (not at the floor), and just ask! Let us know how it goes!

    I am thinking about trying to make something similar myself, but am not confident I can get the sizing right. I guess I will just have to try. My ladies need protection from my amorous roo as soon as possible!

    What glorious news! I have no idea how that could have happened, but am so encouraged by the concept that, against all odds, as you would expect that such an embryo would not survive, LIFE FOUND A WAY!! This chickie will need a special name, for sure!

    Sally's death this morning sidetracked me. We have a storm coming, and I want to make sure everything is secure. I have a heavy hoop coop made from two cattle panels, so it should be ok, as well as the wooden former dog house in Silkyville. It is the small PVC hoop that concerns me. The back...

    Oh dear! I hope and pray that he has a complete and speedy recovery. That must be very scary. I hope they can figure out what is causing the seizures so they can be prevented. Danz - I hope you did not get a concussion! Stairs scare me. When I was about 13, I was carrying my infant sister...

    Well, the county 4H Spring Poultry Show went well. I helped with the Quiz Bowl again this year, and learned something new. That is my goal: to learn at least one new thing each time. The Silver Laced Wyandottes roo I gave my like-a-son only got a white ribbon. The judge did not have much to say...

    There have been many beloved animals pass lately, all in the last few weeks. Do you suppose it is this weather? I know folks who have lost cats, dogs, goats, & cattle. The timing just seems a little odd to me. Creepy.

    Oh dear! I am sorry for your bad day, but oh so very thankful no one was hurt in the fire. They are popping up all over the place! Many are folks burning pasture and it either gets out of hand or embers reignite, and these strong winds just get things going strong! If we have no more fires...

    WichitaKidd, we used Underwood's Horse Medicine for a bad wound. You spray it on, then sprinkle baking powder (like Flabbergasted Girl, not baking soda) over it and it forms a kind of crust. Do this several times, and the layers build up like a scab, protecting the wound somewhat. It turns...

    This weather is kicking my little butt! We went to Topeka yesterday to pick up some fire gear and get more fencing for the new arrivals. By the time we got home, I could barely get out of the car. There is not a body part on me that doesn't hurt. I thought I might be still recovering from the...
