    Two Jakes?

    I received these two Royal Palms from a friend. However we are unsure if they are two Jakes or if one is a hen? They both flair out but the one on the left stays in the pose longer. The one in question is the one on the right. I have more pics and a couple videos if needed.

    How does a hawk....??

    Well I'm pretty sure I have lost 3 of my chickens to a hawk(s). This happened during the day between 11am - 6pm. Last Saturday my adult EE roo never came home to roost and this past Monday two of my adult hens (an EE & BO) were missing. DH and I went looking and found two very small piles of...

    Hello BYCers!! I ordered 10 EE chicks from Ideal due to arrive in the next couple days. I remember reading a post on BYC in the past about placing new chicks under a broody for her to raise, but I can't remember the details and can't seem to find it. I currently have 3 broody hens (Japanese...

    How far will a hawk take it's prey?

    I have always heard that a hawk will not take it's prey far to eat it. The hawk would perch in a nearby tree and start eating. TRUE?? The reason I am asking is I recently had one of my full grown EE hens disappear. It had to have been a quick snatch & grab since none of the others made a...

    I can't believe he actually flogged me...

    Well I've read about on BYC a few times but did not think my roo would do it to me. My current flock includes 13 hens to only 1 roo. Plus ten 6-8wk old chicks that I am selling. They all free range from dawn to dusk everyday. That said.... I've had my EE roo since March 2010, bought him as a...

    Maybe this could help all you egg shippers??

    I have never shipped eggs before, but I thought maybe this would work for all of you that do (you may already know). I'm guessing you may use egg cartons but if your only shipping a few or if your out of cartons. It is a drink carrier that you get from fast food places. The eggs fit right in...

    hatching early?

    Hello, I have 7 EE eggs in my Brinsea Mini Advance. I placed them in the incubator on January 1. Yesterday I hit the day 2 countdown so I did what the user's guide instructed: turning tray off, remove tray, place paper towels under eggs & fill both pots with water. From what I can determine the...

    Penicillin G Potassium, anyone?

    Has anyone tried using this for a respiratory infection in your chicken? I read it is used for turkeys to treat erysipelas, and it shouldn't be used on turkeys laying eggs for human consumption. If it is ok to use for my chicken's "cold" I am wondering if I not use her eggs during treatment...
