    What type of predator done this? Warning: Graphic

    That is what coons like to do, take off the heads. A farmer told me it is because they like the combs. Anyway we trapped coons here in TX and found that when we put bacon in the trap, we caught a coon. They love the smell of bacon. Glad your hen is doing better.

    I bought eggs a couple months ago from BYC member Charm1704 and lost all to a power outage while I was at work. When I told her about it, she had a batch in the bator of her Black Ameraucana and Blue Ameracauna Roosters over EE hens. She let me drive over and pick up these beautiful babies...

    Is my hen REALLY BROODY?????

    I have just one broody right now and she just lets out a growl when you go near. I have had a couple of white rock broodies that would eat you alive while they were nesting. But this hen just makes noise and doesn't even fluff up so I guess each hen is unique in their behavior.

    Look what I found under one of my breeder pens!!!

    I have seen lots of rat snakes here, and dealt with them, but not that type of snake. I even came upon a large one that had one of my young pullets wrapped up with it's body. I was not able save the baby but I had no mercy on the snake. Then we started to miss eggs in the shed we had the...

    Chickens for 10-20 years or more? Pull up a rockin' chair and lay some wisdom on us!

    I just have to put in my two cents here. I have a small dog that is a rat terrier and a large dog that is a mix (rescue dog) Setter and lab type. I completely agree with you on the training. I spent time letting my dogs know that they are not to mess with the chickens, but praised them...

    BROODY HENS Available near Houston Texas pick up only

    I have 2 white rock and 1 Welsummer and 1 buff Cornish Broody hens. I cannot break them from this habit. The Cornish has just been separated from her brood. She may be starting to lay again, but she will sit if left with eggs. The Welsummer also had a brood last summer, and is not doing...

    NEED ADVICE WITH SITTING HEN PLEASE...

    We have 5 hens sitting right now and earlier in spring when 3 started sitting, it seemed like every time that we looked, the hens were gone or completely differeent hen was sitting there. My husband wanted to throw away the eggs figuring there was no way they would hatch and all three hens...

    Texas

    I picked up a order of 40 chicks a couple of months ago. I live about a hour north of Houston. It was a very nice drive. I have had a lot of good dealings with the folks at Ideal. You just have to let them know you bare picking them up so they do not include the shipping in the bill if...

    NEED ADVICE WITH SITTING HEN PLEASE...

    Can you replace them with fresh eggs? It sounds like she is a great broody, just bad luck of none of eggs being fertile or something else wrong.

    NEED ADVICE WITH SITTING HEN PLEASE...

    I would probably give them one more day, just to be sure, but after 24 days, I would really doubt that they are live. I usually put about 8 to 10 under my hens and I have only had one hen hatch 8 at one time. There are usually 2 to 5 that don't hatch and I have to take out of the nest...
