    Do buzzards take chickens?

    I'm wondering if buzzards will take live chickens. We have had an awful lot of black buzzards lately, in fact I lost count at over 100 in the trees in my backyard earlier this spring. I'm wondering if it's buzzards, or hawks. So far, I have had 4 chickens disappear this year, all during...

    Did I "fowl" up?

    I'm wondering if I ruined the dozen eggs I set in the foam incubator. I've been following the directions for the incubator, with water in the bator. The humidity has been pretty high (about 70-75% on the reptile hygrometer in the bator). It's now day 13, and the humidity has finally dropped to...

    Our First Egg!!!

    "The Kid" went out this afternoon, and found our First Egg laying by the back deck steps! I suspect it was one of the Plymouth Rock hens, since she wasn't running with the rest of the flock this morning. It's a tiny little thing compared to our older hens, but it sure is cute! Rotor

    Shaky Hen?

    First time poster here, though I've been lurking quite a while! Great site! We've got a pullet that shakes, or quivers constantly. She's done this for several months, ever since being let out of the hatchery. She shows no other signs of illness, lack of energy, appetite, etc. The other pullets...
