    What type of incubator have you had success with (for ducks)

    Not sure if the incubators are any different as far as success for ducks than chickens. We know they do require more time than chicks. We've lost 5 of our 8 ducks this week, including our only drake. We've only managed to find one so far (dead) and really want to incubate their eggs to...

    Free - 2 year old Roosters Easter Egger & White Leghorn - NE GA

    I have two 2 year old roosters I need to find new homes for one is a GORGEOUS Easter Egger (*note his toes are crooked, but otherwise he's gorgeous) and a very pretty White Leghorn. They're good birds, and great with the girls - I just don't have enough hens for the girls not to be stressed...

    Chick attacked by adults

    One of our young chicks, approximately 5 weeks old was attacked by the older birds today. She had gotten separated from her mama and the other young birds. She has a wound on the side of her face, behind the back of her neck, one on her breast and was tossed in the air by one of the older...

    Foot/leg injury or disease?

    I have a three and half week old buff bantam brahma and gold laced sebright cross that has been acting somewhat strange first noticed this at about 2 weeks old. At first I thought it was splayed leg and that her mama had set too much weight on him/her. After closer examination though noticed...

    Broody Hen

    We are on day 7 with our broody hen, she has 5 eggs under her, no smell as of yet to indicate they are bad and they all looked fine today when she got some food & water. So I've been looking on here, but have not really seen that many people who have let their broodies hatch out in the coop...

    Our little Easter Egger

    I got home today and immediately started tearing up as soon as I got out of the car because I could see my favorite chicken hanging upside down off the roost dead. I ran down to the run and swung open the door and gently lifted her up and she turned her head to the side to look at me. Her legs...

    Aggressive Hen

    On Thanksgiving we had to remove a hen from our flock due to an injury. She had a large laceration down her back (we think one of the roosters was mating her and started to slide and accidentally scraped her up in the process). Roxy was bleeding and very thirsty when we got home late that...

    Possums - how do you kill them?

    I swear I live in predator central, tonight I woke up to the sounds of cheeping 8 week-olds on the monitor (we've had a monitor since a weasel killed most of our last flock at 7 weeks old). I thought the last time I was just being weak and kept missing the silly thing (we had another possum...

    Yellow ears - White Cobb? Chicken

    This morning we went out and checked on the babies in the brooder and then on our big girls and my husband went to check on one of our hens that keeps going broody. On his way out of the run he noticed that one of our older girls' ears had yellowed on both sides. This is the first sign of...

    White Leghorn

    Help me out here - is this a young cockerel or pullet? Okay I am pretty sure on this, however, my husband and dad still contend she is a she due to the yellowish comb and fairly close to feathering out at the same rate as our other girls. I am a little concerned about the comb size though...

    How long?

    I stopped my last hen from free-ranging and locked her in the coop with our two little ones (they're almost 9 weeks). All three of them are getting along fine, the two younger ones tend to stay on the other side of the pen and have not really socialized with her. I assume they will sort things...

    Old hen doesn't like new house

    We have a chicken (she looks like a brown leghorn, only she has a muff and beard as well) who is about 3 or 4 years old. She crows, acts like a rooster, and lays eggs. Anyway she had been missing since Saturday, a few days after several of my six week old pullets were killed. She showed back...

    Our little guy started crowing..

    He is one of our two surviving birds from our weasel incident and this morning we heard him crow for the first time. The first time was a little odd and he looked at us and our pullet took off to the other side of the brooder. Then he crowed again and started strutting around the brooder...

    We lost more than half our flock.. but to what?? (Graphic pictures)

    Our chicks are six weeks old and have been outside for a week. We have a lot of predators in the area bears, hawks, racoons, possums, snakes, rats, feral cats, etc. But we built our coop to stand up to those predators or so we thought. This morning I had to leave the house early cause my...

    Possum

    Okay I brought a possum problem upon myself. I just realized last night he has been eating my hen's food at night. I had noticed we'd gone through a bag of layer food **really** quick - like six weeks for one hen. Also the food bucket where we keep it outside has been getting rolled down the...

    finished the run today! (and just in time too - babies went out)

    Hubby and I finished the last of the coop today - we put the overhead wire up on the run so there would be no death from above for the babies. We also took the girls out (now 5 weeks old) and are letting them stay overnight. They did amazingly well this afternoon... although we had one escape...

    Betty Lou

    Okay I know she's female as I found 8 (good to eat) beautiful eggs today. Real thick shells, well formed, and beige in color. They're a little small but hubby & I have been eating double yolkers for about a month (we buy them at the local farmer's market). Do you all know what breed she is...
