Looking for ideas on yearly rotation of two coop/garden areas with one hen house. Garden one coop/garden while chickens prep other coop/garden area. Switching every year back and forth. Existing plans sought.
I have three male Emu and am looking for a female. If you are interested in trading a female for a male write me an email.

I had a group of girls that laid so many eggs last year that we could hardly keep up. We were averaging an egg a hen every day through last summer and winter into the late spring then suddenly nothing. I have waited for the molt, I have fed them until my pocket book has begun to scream yet we...
I have neighbors who have been of great support in getting started with my chickens and other animals. They lost there pair of swans last summer and had expressed an interest in locating a pair of black swans or hatching eggs. I am searching Hi and Low. We are located in Huntertown, Indiana...

I have a hen sitting on eight eggs in my coop. When the chicks hatch will they be at risk from the other hens? I have some free ranging English game cock hens who sort of all adopted the chicks from each other's nests. Do I need to move mom and eggs?
I recently lost two of four chicks that were my first bator hatch. My fault, apparently I put them in with the hens too soon. The Roo had no problem with them but apparently their mothers did. The two black Orps that laid the eggs were the aggressors.
Luckily my favorite survived by hiding...

I drilled a hole in the middle of a childs plastic saucer snow sled and then removed the wing-nut holding the hanger loop, set it down onto the top of the feeder feeding the bolt through the hole and then replaced the wing-nut. Instant range feeder and water proofer.
I know this probably sounds a little funny and I can't believe I never thought about it before but...
Should I have a waterer in the incubator for the newly hatched chicks or are they fine for the first 48 hrs?
DUH!
