I have no roosters. I have an ocassoinally broody RIR. If I order fertile eggs right away by mail next time she is broody will I be able to hatch the eggs? I have crummy luck with the incubaotr and would love to see a hen momma some chicks around the yard. Also is there any way to induce broodiness?
I only need 6 or so this year so I don't want to place a mail order. Does anyone know when Orschelns gets chicks in? I am specifically looking for Giant Cochins (TSC doesn' t get that breed) and I got 2 at Orschelns last year. I really love the Giant Cochins demeanor.
I just got a ton of bulf wheat from a friends farm. My hens are free range and if I give them free access to this wheat too do I have to give them anything else? They currently eat some commercial feed but mainly house scraps and bugs.
Thanks
Does anyone have any ideas on how to frame a regular dog door into a window? The ones built for windows are very expensive and I already own this one. I think I'm going to experiment this weekend and try to get it to work. Any advice would be great.

I have a mixed breed banty rooster chick and was wondering how old does he have to be before he is fertile? He just started crowing this weekend. He is such a hoot around the grown hens. He is the only boy in the flock and is really strutting his stuff.

Is there a way to force liquids? I have a very sick chicken and I'm not sure what to do with her. She is very skinny and will only move if forced. Any ideas???
Does anyone have plans for a homemade rainproof range feeder? I have been trying to come up with a way to keep my feeder out of the elements. Any ideas would be great.
