Okay my fellow chicken lovers, I have an issue I need help with. We have a big barn which has 3 large horse stalls. One stall holds my Pot Belly Pig, one is filled with odds and ends (left by the previous owner) and the final stall has a lovely roost with nesting boxes made by my husband. Here...

My wonderful husband is going to fence off the area around our barn for our different types of poultry and our potbelly pig, but we have run into a snag that I hope you clever people may know how to fix. We can't figure out how to put a fence or something on our cattle gates to keep the animal...

Okay I put these ducks eggs on a whim in my Brinsea incubator. I candled them a couple of weeks ago and all but one seemed dead. So I put that egg back in and forgot about it. Well tonight I was cleaning out the incubators and low and behold there is a duck! I have no idea how to brood her. Can...

She has been acting very strange. I found her this afternoon standing in the back of the coop making this mewing sounds. I could find no injuries on her. I checked her vent, her crop and her mouth, nothing. She is 4-5 months old and has yet to lay her first egg. Any advice would be greatly...

Something dug a smal hole under our small rooster pen last night. My two Silkies are gone. Only a few feathers outside the pen. We have never had issues with anything but hawks. Does anyone have ideas of what might have caused this? What can I do to prevent it from happening again.

I am hatching Seramas for the first time. We could hear "tweeting/peeping" all day long, finally one hatched. However she is on her back! She keeps trying to flip over, but so far no luck. I know we are not suppose to open incubator. Should I just leave her alone or help?

I have two Silkie Mamas sitting on one nest with six eggs. Their coop is medium size and they share it with another Silkie hen. I am keeping my Silkie roosters separate until they all move into the coop. I also have a tractor full of different breeds of chickens with a hen sitting on eggs. My...

I set my eggs on 3/3. When is my lockdown, today or tomorrow. I am using a Brinsea Mini with auto turner. So when should I take out the turner? I know to put in water and wait. Help!!!

I have a Brinsea Mini which I love because it is a set and forget incubator. I would love to get a Brinsea 20, but that is not in the budget. Is there a cheaper larger brand incubator that I can get? I really need one that I don't have to fiddle with the temps. and such much. Any suggestions?

Can anyone tell me if you can have just one goose? I have lots of chickens, but I would love to have a goose. Where can I find out more information on raising geese? Can they live with my chickens?

I have a Brinsea Mini. Can I incubate geese eggs in it? I know I would have to take out the turner. Just wondering if anyone has ever tried this? One of my friends has beautiful geese and I would love to hatch a couple.
