    Help with building an incubator

    So today I acquired a wine cooler. Its the perfect size for an incubator. However, I have almost zero understanding on what I need to do to build one. What kinds of parts do I need for heat/humidity/turning/ etc?

    Suggested websites for buying new chicks?

    So I had a really bad incident last week and I lost 95% of my flock. I am looking to replace them these next few months. What online retailer would you suggest? I want barred rocks, rhode island reds, and light brahmas.

    I lost so many today

    I'm in shock. I came home from work and my boyfriend sat me down. At noon today two neighborhood dogs broke into my pens. They killed almost my whole laying flock. I lost 15 birds altogether. They were so tame and lovable. They were my first to ever raise. 3 of them were my neighbors that were...

    Help!

    This morning I found one of my Cornish X with a terrible prolapse. I dispatched it quickly. Now there's another who is listless and occasionally spasms. What should I do?!

    Need some nesting box help

    So I bought a one of the pre designed set up at home chicken coops from Atwoods. It works wonderfully except for one problem. The nesting boxes and roosts are at the same level. Guess where my girls prefer to sleep? As a result my nesting boxes are very nasty no matter how much I try to keep...

    Wing Bands

    I am trying to find a way to organize my future breeding program. So far wing bands seem to be my best option. What kind would you suggest? Also can they stay on for the chickens life? Or do they need replaced as they grow?

    Chicken Run made from a round bale feeder

    So I have access to an old round bale feeder. I plan on turning it into a mobile tractor for my girls to work in my garden. What would you suggest I do for a shelter and movement? It is already kinda heavy to begin with so I dont want to add to much more.

    How to care for meat birds?

    I just bought my very first 10 Cornish straight run chicks today. I know they need to be fed differently than other chicks I've had in the past. Any advice how what/how much/often to feed them? What age do I process at?

    Genetics for ameraucanas

    If it helps explaining things to me. I have an extensive history in genetics for other livestock. So I understand(and love) calculating genetics. I understand how the blue and black genes relate. However, can someone explain leg color and egg shell color?

    How to set up my flock for breeding

    I recently bought 9 beautiful ameraucana hens (6 black 3 blue) and one blue rooster. At the moment they are all free ranging together and arent really laying. ( probably because of the move or time of year) How would you suggest keeping them so I know who lays which egg? I am trying to begin...

    Injured eye

    This is my first girl I ever owned. I noticed yesterday that her eye is swelled shut. I was gone for a week on vacation so it must've happened then. There isn't any puss and when I opened it the eye was sunk in and red. Any ideas?

    Pallet nesting box

    It's crude but it's my first ever pallet made nesting box. I'm pretty proud of myself because I did it with minimal help from my boyfriend.

    Should I euthanize?

    These chicks are just 3 weeks old. The SB problem has gotten much worse. The black feels like nothing but bones. I think I'm going to have to cull him. The blue I don't know though. This is a link to my original post about these two...

    What to do?

    Backround first. I bought a dozen ameraucana eggs from a registered breeder online. First problem was the eggs were 5 days late so she added 2 for free. My hen hatched 6 of the 9 I gave her. None of the 5 I put in my bator hatched. Fast forward a week and I noticed these two have weird beaks...

    Many of my chicks quit on day 14 or so?

    Hi! First time poster here. I actually made an account after reading many helpful threads here. I tried my hand at incubating eggs for the first time. I had a shipment of 14 ameraucana eggs. 9 I put under a broody hen(who hatched 6). The other 5 I incubated with an additional 18 my neighbor...
