Cool, learn something new everyday.

What is a "hatch-a-long"??

We have Buff Orpington's

I know that. They will be a year in June, but they are laying good, we will keep an eye on them to see if they get "broody"

I guess i'm sure either yes I want them to do ALL the work

Yes we do have roosters, hopefully nature will kick in on our birds

Are birds are laying eggs and we want them to hatch their own eggs do you have any recommendations

To keep algae from growing in our cattle and dogs water we put a piece of copper in the tank. Will the same work for chickens? We do change it every morning, but we have noticed that the tray gets a little slimey.

Why do you say that??

Jack russells are an interesting breed for the most part they are nice and on the flipside, can be very aggressive when they need to be, the worst thing that Spot does so far is help keep the a rabbit popolation down, our dalmation on the other hand she was doing okay at first, and I noticed she...

Mine are straight from the hatchery. I look forward to my hands having chicks.

Well I let them out about 3 hr before sunset the other day, well...... it got dark and I had to help the little ones back in to the coop, hand full by hand full, I looked at my calendar and I was a week off on the date I told you all, I think, they will be 4 weeks on the 17th. They are still...

Will 1 square foot work for each bird? I was told that from someone locally I've got 1 set of 8 built already they look small will that be OK?

We learn that lesson about 3 years ago with some meat chicks, we bought about 70 and put them in a deep cattle waterer the next morning there was only 5 left. That was a valuable lesson. This will be our first egg layer batch.

What about my guineas?

Well then NO snip snip here

I am a green horn that is why I am asking :-) The ONLY time they will be in a pen is at night. Q: have you read my other posts?

My chicks are 3 weeks old, now I know this is going to be a lot of WORK. With that said I have 86 chicks 56 chickens 30 guineas, should I clip their wings? If so when should I clip their wings and how, is there a you tube video on it, and yes we are going to free rang.

A Jack Russel probably won't do well with chickens... Have you introduced him to the chicks at all? If not, you should, with a leash. If he doesn't handle them well, then you absolutely cannot leave them him unattended with them outside. Spot does ok with them he try's to herd them. We also...

My Buff Orpington chicks are 3 weeks old, when can I start to free range them, and how do I go about it? I had one person tell's me to start about an 1hr before sunset let them out and when it gets dark they will go back in, just keep going longer and longer each day, I also have guineas that I...
