    What the heck is this noise I keep hearing at night?

    Took a video of it: Repeats about every 15 seconds, and seems to be in the trees. When I move close it will move a little further but won't make a sound when moving. Just calls again further away. It seems to like hanging around the coop for some reason. Any ideas? I'm hoping this is common...

    Will Mini Advance keep going after day 0?

    I've got three eggs in my Mini Advance, saw some movement in one yesterday, and it is now well into day 0 (hatch day) with no pipping. I know some take longer than others, and that's fine, but I'm concerned about my Brinsea Mini Advance. Do I have to click any kind of "add a day" to keep it...

    Anyone keep chickens off-site?

    I'm thinking about keeping some chickens on some remote land. No power, just basically a hunting get-away. I'm thinking about using one of those automatic deer-feeders to scatter food a couple times a day, water supplied by the natural creek, and let 'em free range. At night, they'll have a...

    Brinsea Mini Advance doesn't turn at all!

    I just opened and set up my brand new Mini Advance. It heats up, fan works, all controls work, but it doesn't turn. I have the tray in correctly, and even tried watching it turn with the lid off. The gear on the end of the motor just does not turn. I've emailed Brinsea customer support, but...

    Pale comb, pale feathers, seems fine?

    I have 6 hens, all of whom seemed to just go through or are going through their big 18 month molt. (Very few eggs, feathers all over the run, chickens looking scraggily and have pin feathers all over: normal molt stuff.) However, I have one RIR who doesn't seem to be molting (feathers seem...

    Anyone have luck with nesting boxes outside coop?

    I just made a nesting box outside the coop to try and alleviate any crowding and competition I may have once laying picks up this spring. My coop is small and there was no room inside for another box, so I made one outside near the coop. It's a 5 gallon bucket with another cut open...

    Cochin Bantam Roo w/ three other breed hens: what'll they be?

    I have a Mottled Cochin Bantam rooster who looks like this: I've just recently started seeing the fertile bulls-eye in my eggs when I crack em open for breakfast. That's kinda making me want to try incubating some eggs and seeing what comes out. My hens are: 2) Barred Rocks 2) Rhode...

    Does this look like bumblefoot to you?

    I already read an article on bumblefoot surgery on The Chicken Chick's website, so that got me kinda paranoid. When tending to the chooks today one of my RIR's squatted for me, so I picked her up and checked her foot. To my dismay I saw this: Looks like she needs to go under the knife...
