I have a 15 week old barnyard mix that I hatched myself. She is a hen. She recently (like 3 hours ago, got really lethargic.) We have treated for coccidia about 7ish weeks before. She is so lethargic, she cannot balance, and her poop is literal water. She drinks a ton, which I assume is from...
I forgot what day it was on my paeafowl eggs in the incubator, and I just candled one to see how far it was, and it was through the air cell… will it die bc I candled it? I’m not to experienced with peacock eggs.
I have 3.5 week old chicks outside.. and we have a Cat. 1 hurricane coming that they think will get worse. We don t have room for them Inside.. I can’t do any heavy lifting to put boards on the walls of the kennel or anything like that.. (Severely sprained my wrist during a volleyball game) and...
Okay. You know me I’m forgetful lol. Well I forgot to mark the date when I put the peafowl eggs in the incubator 😭 i candled them today- I see lots of veins, a dark spot and an eyeball. These eggs are from the breeding India blue pair in my backyard. The female is a rescue and we bought the male...
All of these are mixes. Dad (s) are Smokey pearl from tractor supply. Some are from my neighbors flock so mixed with silkie. I need some color guesses on all of them, gender guesses are welcome too! They are about two weeks old.very skiddish silkie mix (chick #1)one of my favorites. Very tame-...
So This spring I got two straight run Smokey pearl chicks from tractor supply. Both have broke skin many times. One is aggressive to the point that if you pick him up he WILL bite any part of you he can get to. We are torn on what to do we don’t like culling animals. I am a teenager that’s...
My incubator somehow got unplugged while eggs are/were pipping! I picked up one and it was peeping but I haven’t checked the rest. When I turned the incubator on it was at 71 degrees. I have a heat lamp over it to make sure it warms up faster but I don’t know if the chicks are gonna be okay, pls...
Okay. So I was wondering if y’all have any tips on how to convince my family for more chicks. I have 28 in the incubator to sell. My people said I abesouloutly can not keep ANY of them. They are mixed breed. (Also) Any tips on how to sell? ) I am the sole caretaker of my flock.I pay for my...
Anybody have any experience with the little giant still air styrofoam incubator? I have hatched five peafowl successfully in it, and I think my Mimi and pops have used this to successfully hatch chicken chicks before. Last time trying to hatch chicks was a horrific fail, as we put the eggs in...
1rst question.. How long do stored peacock eggs keep viability before incubating? And second.. anybody have any tips about hatching eggs and selling the chicks for profit? I’ve got 21 eggs in the incubator that I plan on selling for $4 a piece. Anything else I need to know? Pic for attention :)...
My BLR Wyandotte hen has been acting weird lately. She’s not broody, I don’t think she’s ever hatched chicks before either. Our rooster, a BCM named Twix, tidbits regularly. (Literally anytime he finds food.) Recently, this hen has started calling the flock (or imaginary chicks idk) to food. It...

I started with 7 chickens as a gift from my uncle. He didn’t want the roo so he gave us the whole flock. We now have 17 chickens and I don’t feel like typing all their stories but y’all I’m starting to like (chicken) math 🤣 share your stories!
If anyone could help me on How to attract more black soldier flies. That would be amazing. I already have some. Just want more to sell them to local farms.
Items I have in their bin:
Bedding- used pine shavings from coop
Food- bananas. Strawberry tops, cucumbers and other rooting fruits and...
