So I take it that you do not want her to be broody? I spent my whole summer trying to convince two Buff Orphingtons not be broody until I finally gave in and slipped some hatching eggs underneath them. I have no rooster either. You can search broody hen on here and get some great information...

I'm kind of feeling my way through this right now. 9 chicks hatched from eggs under their Mamas on 4th of July. I was keeping them seperate while the hens sat on the eggs, than when they were born they didn't really come off the nest much for the first few days. Than I had them seperated with...

Thanks everybody for your rational advice. After cleaning out a coop of headless chickens last night I am pretty fired up. I do know that it could happen to any of us.....gosh forbid....but you have to at least try to prevent it. Now I am caring for this little astralorp with the gash on it's...

Quote: I'd even give her a discount!

Quote: They do, one cat that is outdoors and a beagle dog that is currently at the kennel. It is an inside dog but I know though that they routinely leave it outside. I will warn her.

Where do you get off stealing someone's property because you disagree with its care? Not to be argumentative but I think that this is exactly what the Humane Society does isn't it? Although I don't intend to steal it, this week she left me in charge and of course it couldn't go back into...

Quote: Thanks for your advice. Please understand that this is sort of the last straw. Haven't been critical all along through all of these attacks. I certainly understand that predators can get to any of our animals...I also hope they don't get to mine, although if they do I will know that...

Quote: I don't know how "old" you are but boy I want to be there too! Thanks for your advice this is probably what I will do. If she does hatch eggs I don't know how she'll keep this 4 month old bird with it. I'm going to try to talk her out of it.

Quote: Seriously are you kidding? I understand that it is their bird but surely if you cared about animals you would understand. I probably will follow another poster's advice and ask if she wants me to keep the bird.....hopefully she will agree.

You guys are being so rational....maybe tomorrow I'll feel more rational.....right now holding it hostage seems like a good idea. My husband and I will defininitely go over and give them some advice now. Husband was uncomfortable telling another guy.....you know.....maybe you want to do this...

Quote: I would tell them the bird died but in I will be away in three weeks and they will be feeding and watering for me and they will see it here, of course all of this concern is if this one actually lives....We have tried to tell them how to fix the coop....it's hard to tell someone exactly...

So my friend decided that she wanted to have chickens. She's been buying eggs from me for about 6 months. Her husband built her a lovely coop from plans.....he followed the plans exactly and some of it just wasn't practical....ie. no man door.....but that's not really the problem. They...

Western PA. It has been hitting 80 and above here during the day but cooler at night. I don't think the night time temps of 50-60 are warm enough yet but maybe the daytime temps. Also is there any concern with disease with putting them right into the grass? As previously posted I have some...

I have some broilers from Meyer Hatchery. They will be two weeks old tomorrow. They are starting to feather out but have some bald patches too. I have portable chicken tractors to put them in with a sheltered area and hardware cloth all around. Todays daytime temp will be 80 degrees. Can...

Quote: Do you know where they took them in Seven Springs. I think this is also closer than anyone I've found. I located somebody in Clarks Mills PA but that's a long drive with 25 chickens in the backseat.

Quote: Thanks. Is there a way to contact them? This is closer than anyone I've found.

Quote: Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I have been trying to find a processor around here and no one seems to know any. My local extension office was no help at all. Now I have a lead on Sturgeons in Clarks Mills or Sandy Lake Pennsylvania. Anyone heard of them? Have an address or phone number? Are they amish with no phone...

Henry'schickens : Must be. We are still alive and no serious sickness. Well, except for this whole chicken obsession thing... Thanks.
