When browsing photos to let to post on a thread, how do you pick them from a string of numbers? :-) is there some way to view it before downloading ? That would be great to load multiple pics but I would like to be able to see what I'm picking to make sure its the correct one for subject...
Does anyone know of a reliable USA made door that has worked well for them? Not really into making it myself and seems like not alot of savings by doing that anyway after the mistakes I'd be making. I've been looking through the threads but not alot out there and of course each company says...
OK, so the dog got into a nest, this little guy has a few cuts, where they are shielded internal injury by bone, bleeding has stopped, otherwise intact. Hubby says, make it live!
Well, I think this one is still being suckled..no idea what rabbits can have as a substitute.
Who would benefit the most if the laws don't change and ya all can't have chickens, why the commercial egg industry. Who would benefit the most if ya all could have chickens? Why, the pet industry,coop builders, ranch supply and local feed stores,hardware stores,on and on and on get them on...
I am noticing alot of questions about this and repetitive a/q so since that's what I'm into right now I thought maybe post to one thread would be helpful and easy to find. It seems so easy to learn from watching the broody teach her chicks and do all the work, but also, taught me what to do...
So broody hen left the nest and i moved her nest box out,there was a chickwedged in between the side the box and several unhatched eggs. Stuck ina fetal position for a long time and so cold but still breathing. Naturally the power went out today so no quick way to warm qanything, without much...
am wanting to get boxes totilt out that i can store feed in. does any one know how to build these? or buy them?
currently i store a bag or two in a large garbage can, and it makes a great perch launch and poop collector which i am tired of, plus have 4 different types of feed.
I know there is a...
It was time to move the hen and her chicks to the large coop, she was acting alittle strange about locking up in the small coop, and I didn't want her roosting them in the trees again.
Well she's been locked in for 3 days now to rehome them, and since it's raining I figured one more day won't...
So she wanted to see the hen house, and walked over with me while I collected the eggs for the day. I use deep litter straw and pine chips, and am quite proud of the fact that my husband built it predator proof out of rough cut poplar (yes, it is tight) So mother dear stands at the door and...
Well, I got it down to when they lay, so today I went out and sure enough, eggs, gathered them up (not alot but) I was met at the door by a hen and roo, she looked right at the eggs I was holding and jumped up and looked in the nest and made a funny noise, to which the rooster responded, kinda...
i found a solar powered lid and light that fit a reg mason jar, when i find a neat feather i put it in the jar on the poarch, nice way to keep some of the good ones, how about you?
this may not be the right category, but here goes, I saw in a farm catalog -chicken nipples, to put in your 5 gallon bucket waterer, apparently the chickens will drink from them, and boy are they cheap, so hating mail order I went to our local feed/hardware store and asked the guy if he has...
I've spent the better part of myday searching questions and links to upload a photo and although I'm almost there, somethings missing..even my husband tried and if he can't post it something is wrong.
Here's what I got, the photo is on my page, in a thumbnail and image size...I have managed to...
I just have to let everyone know Queenie is the best ever, she started hatching out her nest of 15 chicks yesterday in the am, I have a picture of 2 beaks and one chick brave enough to pose, but alas, we can't figure out how to post the pictures, sorry, I know all you chick fanatics would agree...
can you add a site that has instruction on how to , say, post a picture. I've looked everywhere and can't find simple directions , it's kinda frustrating when I could be doing something else, and please, bear in mind, alot of us weren't born with a computor, and on foggy mornings like today...
5.9 quake on the 23rd. Apparently it was all around me - I am on thewest side of the appalachians, and they felt it in Charleston as well as north in Morgantown..I felt nothing and both my husband and I were chatting with a neighbor..the only thing different that day was my broody hen did not...
Ever see that before? Have just been watching them as they free range and the one rooster acting like a good boy, calling the hens over for a treat, and oddly, making a fuss over bits of straw too, clucking and holding it up.
I had to lock them up in the new coop, for many reasons, 2 roosters...
what to do,
i have a young rooster that won't incorporate into the flock, they have 80 acres to roam, everyone else is getting along (but then I'm new to chickens so that may not stay the same) except for minor squabbles, no big deal, x this guy, I'll call him rocky, he's aabout 8 weeks old
he...
HI everyone, I'm new and this is my intro, my husband and I moved to a remote place in WV, since the grandkids were going to visit, and I wanted a few chickens anyway, and the feed store just happened to have several chicks at $2 each, I jumped in and bought 5, along with 5 lbs of chick starter...
