This morning my dog had gotten a hold of my 2 month old baby chick. I found it in time to save it from him but now she's really sleepy and is got air trapped under her skin. It's the weirdest thing if you mash on it it moves to another part of her body. I've had chickens attcked before and they...
The eggs were supposed to hatch today and none of them have even pipped! And last time I waited approx 5 days after due date and nothing happened and when I threw them out everyone of them had a fullsize chick in it. I don't want to do that again! Thanks in advance.

I'm making a dust bath box for my girls and boy and I've read up and I decided to use some ashes from my wood stove, some potting soil, and some sand. But, I read where one person said to get the play sand and the other one said it didn't matter. Which one should I get? I would appreciate any...
I just got a new banty roo he seems to be really young and he is really small I'm not sure what kind he is. I'm think more of a game because he is really colorful. Anyway, they guy I bought him from hauld him in a cage in the back of the truck and it was probably about 50 degrees at night. And...
This is going to sound strange, but I can not eat the eggs if they are fertile. If I see any red spots or anything I'll go nuts! lol But, I love having a rooster around the farm and I do have some banty hens that I would like to try and hatch out some of their eggs. So my question is would a...
Hi,
I have (10) 7 week-old Black Australorps and some of them have little tail feathers and some don't. Which one is which? They all look alike except for their tails. I'm having to sell them this Saturday and I'm wanting to keep a pullet. So if you can help me with this I would appreciate it...
Between a Araucana, Americana, and an Easter Egger? I bought some Araucanas from a hatcherey and I was wandering if they were true or not?
Thanks,
Andi
Did anyone else see the previews? I keep getting in on the tail-end of the preview! But, I did see chickens! So I looked it up on TVLand's website and it said that some people in Washington, Texas has like a animal shelter at their home or something. And the Extreme Makeover folks is re-doing...
I have 100 hatching eggs ready to hatch any day. 4 already hatched and one of them doesn't look to good. It seems like on his stomach where they take in the yoke the last few days, that he hasn't either takin in all the yoke or some of his insides has came out. Do you all think he'll make it if...
Right now my humidity is about 76 %. I put the eggs in last night, so I know it needs to be lower. And I filled the little slots in the bottom of the bator full of water. So what else can I do to lower it?
Thanks,
Andi
If I have a 100% hatch I'll have about 96 baby chicks! 4 dozen under 4 hens and the rest in the bator. So my question is, how long should I wait before I take the chicks away from their moms to sell? And how much should I sell them for? 6 dozen are going to be purebreed Black Australorps and the...
I live out in the country and we have a huge pond out in the field with trees and stuff around it. My question is, will my ducks be ok on my pond or will something more and likely get them? I've raised them from ducklings and I want to keep them, but they are really messy and it makes my hen...
I was wandering is it possible to add water to my incubator without taking the lid off? And how do I check humidity? And there is two holes in the top, one has a little red plug in it and the other one is open, am I suppose to plug up both holes until later on, or only one then open up the other...
I was wandering when do most country fair's start? I've heard that the fair kids will pay more for your chickens. But, I wouldn't know who to even tell that I have chickens for sale?. And how old of chickens do they want? Do they have to be full blooded breeds? And what about ducks?
Thanks,
Andi
I was wandering if any of you all have a job where you work from home? Like doing something on the computer, ect.? My mom's disabled and I have to help her at home.
Thanks,
Andi
Does any of you all know of a hatchery that will let you tour their hatchery? We're going to the Smokey Mountains sometime this year and I thought that on my way through different states there might be one that would let me. I know there isn't any around here that I know of.
Thanks,
Andi
I figured most of ya'll have read my post about my hens setting on eggs in the nest and I was wanting to put their waters closer to them. So my question is, do you think if I puta small rabbit waterer that has the little ball dripper thing (not sure what's called) they would drink from it? I...
I HATE prank calls! :mad: I don't know anyone who likes them. So I was wandering if any of you all know how to reverse and cell phone number for free? I hate to pay $15-$50 for a one time use to find out who this freak is! Just thought I would ask.
Thanks,
Andi
I don't know who to ask so I thought I would post it on here. I figured one of you all would probably know. I planted onions earlier this spring and I've almost ate all of them! So my question is, can I plant more onion plants right now? Or is it to late? Then things was sooo good!
Thanks,
Andi
