    4 eggs left

    My hen has hatched 7 chicks that lived, 2 eggs that I found didn't make it, but I have 4 eggs left. She's now out with the chicks leaving the 4 eggs. I candled them and they are completely dark meaning chicks are in the eggs, but will they hatch? How long should I try to hatch them with incubator?

    Chicken guard auto door question..

    Best way to make existing fence electric..

    I have an area where I have a coop for new birds. I have the chicken wire fence up around the coop its on a slight hill making it 5'-6' tall. So for fox/raccoon/etc it would be harder because the coop is on the slight hill side. I am putting a heavy duty wire fence at the bottom for digging...

    Rooster dead in 36 hours..

    So 2 days ago I was feeding my chickens. Everyone was fine and the next day I noticed my rooster going into the hay loft (20 ft up) to roost and I heard a very loud smack noise. I assume he hit something on his way up or from landing. The next day (yesterday 16th) I noticed him limping and...

    Question about my roosters' behaviors..

    I recently received a free Buff Orpington rooster because he was supposed to be a hen, and my rooster had died defending the ladies. My question is why I never see this rooster mating with the hens? My old rooster used to do this all the time. I'm just concerned he is too shy/submissive and...
