    Official Christmas Hatch! c'mon and join

    Had one pip about eight hours ago, settling in for a nice quiet evening. I put 19 on lockdown Monday evening so we just might be right on target for Christmas morning suprise. How cool would it be staying up all night watching chickens hatch on Christmas Eve?

    Them Stinkin' Foxes.

    After I answered you on how to get a fox , I realized there are people on here that are against eliminating any kind of animal. I love animals, I treat my dogs better than most people treat their kids. I take very good care of my chickens too, but as much as I love my dogs they will meet their...

    Them Stinkin' Foxes.

    Put an ad on craigslist, I'm sure there is someone near you that would trap or kill a fox free of charge. Just remember if there is one there are more. Get them all.

    Think I messed up raising my chickens....now what do I do???

    Layer crumbles or layer pellets are both fine, but I go through a lot more feed if I use crumbles. The birds will throw food around when they hit the feeders in the morning, and the crumbles just get trampled into the ground. When the pellets get spread the birds will still eat them off the...

    how do i correct this?

    Quote: How long did you wait? was it an obvious deformity like the body was definately out of whack or the chick was just in an odd position? We waited about a week and a half. It was an obvious deformity. Oh, the one I had to "peel" came out Ok, I hope this is the case here. I would also...

    how do i correct this?

    How long was she (assuming here that it's not a Rooster) stuck in her shell, how far did she break out on her own? If she doesn't seem distressed or in pain I would bet she will be OK. The ones I've hatched so far have been very wobbly and uncoordinated for about the first day, the one I...

    how do i correct this?

    Quote: about 12 or 1 this afternoon. I'd give it at least till morning and see if she is getting better. Dip her beak in a very small amount of water and see if she seems to drink a little.

    how do i correct this?

    I had one get stuck in the shell trying to hatch last Feb. I had to peel the shell off the chick, I never thought she would live but had to try. It took a few days before she could stand up but she pulled through and is steady laying eggs now

    i think i need a dog--what breed is best?

    We have a chocolate lab, I don't know if she would keep predetors away, but she would probably lay on and hatch the eggs for the hens.Hershey is the kind that would mother a baby squirrel, or any other critter for that matter.
