I bought a incubator about two years ago and had great luck with the ammount of eggs that hatched. I had a different roo back then and about every 5 minuits he was having his way with the ladies(I usually keep about 10). Well he was killed by a raccon, and his son has now grown up (about a year...
Our nights are only getting down to around 60 degrees for a low at night. I have some around 4 week old chicks with most of their feathers. Do I need to light them at that temp.?
I have a female Nubian goat that just gave birth 3 to 4 weeks ago. Today while feeding her I noticed a little blood on her tail. My question is do goats have menstral periods? I am hoping that this is all it is.
thanks in advance for the help
My goat gave birth two days ago and it has changed her personality 100%. It is like she doesn't even know me, she will not let that baby get two feet away from her. How long does this phase usually last?
I just got a nubian goat about a week ago, I was told she is pregnant. She seems scared of me, runs when I get close. Is this normal? How long does this period last?

I have 9 chicks about 8 weeks old and a hen thats laying. I am thinking about getting a rooster, is it ok to introduce a rooster to this flock( is it safe). Or do I have to wait till the others are bigger?
I have 4 seven week old RIR's and 4 BO's also seven weeks. One RIR and one BO the tails are different than the others, all the others tails stick straight out but these two look like there tails are tucked down pointing towards the ground. Does this make sense to anyone?
For flooring can I use the same wire screen that I used on the walls? It is sturdy and about 1/4" square holes It will be about a foot of of the ground. Will this hurt their feet? They have acess to another part of the coop that is on the ground. Kind of a split level coop.
I think my little 5 week old roo might be sick. I took him out of the cage from the others and he just sits there for the last day and a half, and he looks like he may be all puffed up like a ball. Any Ideas???
I have 1 full size rir full sized hen (never layed an egg since I had her). I have 4 bo's 8 weeks old & 4 rir 8 weeks old. About 2 weeks ago my 2 br's got old enough (4 weeks old) to put in the coop along with the others. All seemed alright I noticed they were being pushed a little at feeding...
