Ugh I lost track of the days and kept turning though the 20th day. They should hatch tomorrow. One already did. What kind of damage should I expect? :(
I have one Pekin that lives with my chickens. I just got 3 new ducklings to go with her. I know chickens will pick on smaller chickens but will ducks do the same? If I separate her when is it safe to introduce them!
I have a serama baby. She never pipped... I candeled and saw her moving on day 21 so i pipped for her she was the only on left. 18 hours later she pushed at the hole and made a crack bit never zipped. We broke away some shell ro help her. She just stayed there like she was comfortable. Seemed...
UGH I'm so excited and nervous. This is my first hatch ever. I set 35 eggs. 5 turned out unfertilized and one went bad. Down to 29. Adding final water and locking down in a few minutes.
Yesterday we went to our chicken guy to get some 4 week old pullets. All the GLW were spoken for except for this little pitiful one standing in the corner by herself. I thought she was so cute cause she was so small. He said she was a runt and just wasn't thriving but was 4 weeks old. He said...
My hens are finally starting to lay and I think the eggs are fertilized. What do you think? Yes there is a 12 week old roo in there. I need to get him out. Just curious to see what you think.
Just wondering if anyone has had this issue and maybe its a sign of early stages of Roo. My RIR and Buckeyes haven't yet gotten down that they are suppose to go in at night. So I go out and pick them up to put them in and two with larger combs attack my hands. They go right for the soft skin...
I am looking for a few of these not a ton! lol
My girls are about to start laying and I was going to use the 6 pack as gifts/samples for people. Does anyone have a bunch they would like to split with me?
I am desperately trying to find a couple for my Mille Fleur rooster who is 12 weeks old. I'm getting ready to separate out the pairs from the bunch and he has no one to go with. I don't want him to be lonely. I CANNOT find any anywhere.
I have been struggling to come up with a neat name for my mini chicken farm/egg laying establishment ...if you will. Here is what I've narrowed it down to... (I'm stuck on Cackle...)
1 - Cackle Blue (Farm or Acres or Meadows)
2 - Cackle Bluffs
3 - Cackle Bunch (Farm or Acres)
4 - Cackle Bury...
I have been blessed with a pair of blue wyandottes. I am looking to breed them for additional blues. From what I have read I need either a Blue or Black pullet. I have one but would like to have one or two more. We live in the Triangle area of NC. If anyone knows of any that would be great...
My chicken I think is slowly dying. I'm not sure how as since she is eating and pooping. But she is very small and bony compared to her sister. I've tried olive oil, massaging, acv, yogurt now baby food. My latest attempt is making her a "crop bra". I'm at my witts end - I don't know what...
My chickens all range from age 16 weeks to 6 weeks. They all go in their coop at night and roost outside during the day. But they will not roost at night in the coop. They all just lay on the floor by the door. Any suggestions?
Silly question I'm sure but...what exactly is the date printed on the bottom of the Feed bags? Is it the date that feed was bagged? Or the expiration date? I use Purina Starter.
My girls went in the new coop this weekend and were having trouble using the ramp. I attached some steps on the ramp but they keep slipping and sliding. So I cut up some of the Roofing Shingles we had left and Stapled them inbetween the steps. Its working beautifully but I'm concerned if they...
Ok - I'm having a difficult time deciding what to do here. I got a Mille and two Silkies straight run. I also have two Milles for a friend (she didn't have a lamp). My Mille turned out to be a Roo. Cute as can be though . His two "eggmates" (I guess you would call them) are going to...
