So I live in Northern NH and I have 2 NH Red Hens. they were born on April 29th 2009. I used to have a flock of 5 but 3 of them got killed and one got injured but survived. I was really cold, so I had kept them in the basement but now I have no other option but to put them back into their coop...
So my 7 month old New Hampshire Red Hen was attacked by what we think was a fox probably about 2 days ago. She just returned home this morning. We brought her down to the vet, they were no help. So we went over to the local Agway and they said that she should be fine since she has been eating...
So I have 5 NH Red Hens and all of their "toe" nails, I guess you would call them, are getting to be quite long now. I got my chickens when they were one day old from the feed store on April 29th of this year. (I don't want to do the math of how old they are now, LOL) I have never cut their...
I just put the last of my 5 week old NH Red Hen's feed into their feeder today mixed in with the last of some quick oats I had laying around to try to make it stretch. I don't have access to any transportation for about 4 more days at most.
I do live in a small town (I'm in the country) so...
UGH!!! My 1 month and 6 day old New Hampshire Red Hens (I have 5 of them) they somehow made a huge mess of water and food on the floor of their brooder over night (I am using an old large dog cage with a removable tray). This is the 2nd time this has happened.
I need a way to elevate the...
And there is a HUGE storm right now. We already had the power dip once and the storm is getting worse every minute! What do I do to keep my chickens alive if we loose power????? How do I keep them warm??? They are about a week and a half old they are NH Red Hens and there is 5 of them.
I am finally getting a chance to introduce myself. My chicks are a handful! I'm from Northern New Hampshire. I have 5 baby NH Red Hens I'm getting 3 batons soon (I know I screwed up the spelling, the mini chickens) and I Have the cutest Basset Hound on earth!
So on May 10th I have to go out of my state and I can't leave my chicks home alone. They are a week old as of today. The trip is 4 1/2 hours long by car so I have no idea what to do about the whole heat lamp situation. There are no power outlets in our car, and I don't want to leave them with a...
I know about totallyfreecrap.com but that's about it. Like the kinds of websites that don't charge S&H or any type of fee and that actually send you the stuff and not scam you.
They all run away and jump ontop of each other and they try to "fly" away. I don't want to hurt them and I also don't want them hurting each other. It's really annoying.
the chick themselves can get cold? I remember hearing that somewhere... I forget where though. Oh yeah and if it is true what temperature should their water be? They are about a week old if that matters.
One of my 5 NH Red Hen chicks is considerably larger than the other 4... Sould I be worried about the smaller chicks getting enough feed? They eat out of a feeder (I always make sure it is full) and they are 3 days old.
I'm a new chicken mom, and one of my baby hens died this morning so i'm a bit on edge right now but anyways... A few of my chicks (about 3 days old) are panting even though the temperature of the brooder is at 90 degrees. Should I be concerned about this? Or should I just let them pant? Answers...
