    Yes, we've been spoiled with this weather. Not yesterday or today! Just spent time running the extension cord for the bird bath heater.

    Black Copper Marans discussion thread

    Thanks to each of you for the sympathy. Knew I could count on people here to understand. I think living in a suburban neighborhood gave me false confidence which is ridiculous because I've chased foxes away from the big girl run. Anyway, I suspect I will hatch again perhaps in Spring but...

    Black Copper Marans discussion thread

    So sorry but need to vent. Six 1.5 month old BCM chicks dead, probably last night. Incubator hatched Sept 19th. They were just going to be moved to the big girl coop. 2 Roos and 4 hens. Was so looking forward to those chocolate eggs in spring. But I can only blame myself, poor wee things...

    Sorry in advance but I just went out to give my six 1.5 month old black copper Marans chicks some feed and they were all dead, something got them most likely last night. 4 bodies left, 2 taken. Can only blame myself as their brooder was in a 10 x 10 greenhouse tent and I wasn't forcing them...

    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    Well, came home from work and my broody was out and about for a good long while. Think she's finally finishing her broody spell. May try her next year. As for the eggs in the incubator I put them on lockdown. Heard loud peeping so they are getting close. Incubator hatch it is.

    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    Advice needed. 12 eggs in the incubator, day 17. A VERY determined broody in the coop on a nest box. She has been sitting for weeks. Should I give her the eggs to hatch (due Friday)? If so should I try moving her tonight with fake eggs to an enclosed spot, give her the eggs to hatch in the...

    Crickhollow Brooder

    I wanted to have a more permanent chick brooder so I created this mainly using a fee shipping crate and materials left over from my main coop build. Since our property is a small 0.4 acre suburban plot I wanted something that looked reasonably cute. Built on casters but will need to switch...
