    Eggs and heat

    How long can eggs sit in the next box in this heat and still be safe to eat? I plan to be out of town and wondering- can I collect them all after a few days, or should I have someone come every day/every other day to collect? Is there a rule of thumb on this?

    question about integrating my chicks to the "flock"

    I hope it is ok to x-post this here...I tried first in the baby chick forum but didn't get any replies: A couple of weeks ago, I thought I successfully moved the chicks (3 of them) out to the coop to join the older girls (also 3 of them). Now, it seems that the big girls are constantly charging...

    are my 7 week olds safe with the big girls?

    A couple of weeks ago, I thought I successfully moved the chicks (3 of them) out to the coop to join the older girls (also 3 of them). Now, it seems that the big girls are constantly charging at the littles. Is this normal behavior that will sort itself out? Not seeing any blood and it usually...

    when to move my chickies. they're getting so big!

    I just moved by 5.5 weekers (red stars) outside this past week. I noticed while inside they hardly ever stayed under the heat even at night with the house in the low 60s. I started by bringing them outside in the run for several days and then started leaving them overnight when the night time...

    my girls are being stalked by a hawk

    For good reason...a couple of weeks ago it got one of my sweet leghorns. I saw it flying away from her body. Yesterday I pulled in my driveway and it was perched high up in the tree across the street. It is still there today and now the girls are on lock down. Please tell me these hawks...

    introducing my 3 new chicks

    Decided to give chick-raising a try. I got 3 "red pullets" from the TSC. I actually am not sure what kind they will be, but was promised they would all be girls. Red star maybe? There were a few breeds listed on the info card, but my head was really spinning by the time I left I forget which...

    Our first loss...any advice appreciated

    I'm really sorry to hear about the loss of your bird. We also had our first loss just a couple of days ago under very similar circumstances. I went to lock the girls up, and noticed one missing. A quick walk around the yard, and there she was, lying in a pile of her feathers with her neck...

    is my black australorp still a pullet...24 weeks

    I was initially concerned because she was much more developed than my other of the same age: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/706488/black-australorp-pullet-or-rooster/10#post_9619892 Now, the less mature pullet has caught up, and is the only one of the the two to "squat" "squatting" -...
