5 month Blue Andalusian, gentle and inquisitive. Looking for new home, we thought he was a hen, we love him, but can’t keep him due to local ordinances.
I was wondering if anyone has experience with either of these incubators, and could offer any recommendations or advice.
More specifically, I am wondering if the three racks in the sportsmen incubator can be leveled out to hatch a fully loaded incubator, or if the only way use it is to do...
I have been menaced by a hawk all summer. Yesterday it killed one of my full grown hens. Just left the carcass with nothing consumed. I am guessing the roosters chased it off.... I saw it take off, but it wasn't by the chicks, who have been penned in due to heavy losses, so I wasn't concerned...
My turkey Louise is acting lethargic. She is hunched up in the corner of her pen, feathers ruffled. I just noticed diarrhea, but no blood. She was walking fine this morning. But for the past several days I have felt something was not quite right. Any advice???

I want to move them to a safe place because I don't want to lose the only two hens I have that go broody, and all their...
Hey,
I was wondering if anyone has detailed plans they would share with me for building a chicken coop. Ideally it would be 10x10 and semi mobile. DH will build it for me, but he keeps insisting that he needs plans detailed beyond my square boxes with each side labeled 10 feet....
I was reading in the newspaper about a local poultry swap meet and the article said to bring health papers with your birds. To what are they referring?? I live in Wisconsin...
I think I have a hen that is broody. I have never had this before. I actually thought she got picked off because I have not seen her in probably two weeks. But I found her today in the barn. She is sitting on a nest, the only problem is that it is on a hay wagon, probably 4 feet from the ground...
I just picked up four day-old guinea keets. I have them in a box with shavings, food, and water. The heat lamp is hung and it is a large enough box for them to move out of the light if they need to.
My question is about how they are acting. One keeps laying down with one leg stretched out behind...
