    Magpies are eating all my eggs- help!

    So I moved to the country a year ago. I expected predators, but not like this. I have a free range flock, that free ranges on about an acre by my house. The magpies have memorized all our habits and the chickens behavior- like they are always stalking the chickens in the trees. No matter where...

    Chick w/leg problems, symmetrical wounds

    Hey ya'll. Its my second time incubating. Six chicks have hatched. But one came out nicely, but was soaked and had fluid and a bit of yolk still left. I left him in the bator to dry out, but noticed his legs seemed to not function. Took him out a few hours later. That was Friday. It's Sunday...

    Do chicken eggs hatch past day 24? Were they alive?

    So it was my first time incubating in a circulated air Farm Innovators. One chick hatched on time on day 21. The rest of the eggs were clear except two. I thought they may have died because I heard they could not hatch past day 24, today. When I broke the two open and did some research they...

    Dumb question- Ambient or Internal Temperature?

    Ok I am incubating for the first time with a Farm Innovators 4200 forced air. Eggs just went in the bator and I know not to use the crappy thermometer it came with, couldn't even calibrate it very well so I ordered a glass Brinsea and also one of the spot check digitals and got a water wiggly...

    Need Metal Rabbit Cage Advice

    So for a long time I've wanted to get into rabbits and now finally have a chance. I want to do meat rabbits, don't know what breed yet. I've heard its best to start with a trio, so I need at least 3 cages. Also I want to go with all metal, as I really want them to last a long time and be easy to...

    Possible Marek's bird, organ question thanks!

    So I had an awesome Russian Orloff about 10 months. A couple of months ago she started laying, but began to act lazy and seemed to to be loosing her appetite. But I always gave her walnuts when I'd see her. I noticed she may have been losing weight, but I wasn't sure what to think as it has been...

    Anyone grown Indian Corn before? In the desert?

    I thought I would try growing Indian corn this year. I tried an heirloom Hopi variety. It had some problems with lodging in a few storms and other people's sweet corn did not, in the same area. I have grown sweet corn for a few years and have never seen problems like with the Indian corn. I know...

    Question about possible Cocci (sp?) New to chickens

    I just got two little 2 weeks old-ish chicks like a week ago. I got what I think is a Silkie x. He seemed sleepy for a few days but then began passing dark colored, foul smelling poo, like kind of dark reddish brown and nothing solid. I watched him for a few days and he got better. Or his poo...
