Well that's mildly disappointing lol. I didn't pay much for the eggs, so no big deal really. I bought 3 dozen from the same seller. One dozen was buff orp; one dozen was barred rock, and one dozen was a mix of purebred eggs. All of the buffs and BRs were what the seller said they were, and the...

I need some help figuring out breeds on these 2 girls. Here's what I know. I bought a dozen hatching eggs at an auction. It was a mix of purebred eggs. There were several dozen available and one of them had the possible breeds written on it. Unfortunately it wasn't the one I got, and I didn't...

Sorry..I'm replying to everything on one post because I'm on my phone. First..it was the middle of the night. I was not going anywhere near 2 strange dogs alone. So, yes I got my brother. The dogs weren't after the goats when I spotted them. They were trying their best to get out of there. The...

Thanks for the advice everyone. I did call the police and the dispatcher said it's an animal control issue not law enforcement. When I told my dad he was mad because I didn't call him. Apparently he knows the county sheriff on a first name basis.He was also mad because he could have given me his...

Sorry I wasn't clear in my first post...when I spotted the dogs they weren't attacking anyone. They were in the back of the boys pen frantically trying to find a way out. I went to get my brother because I needed help getting them out. We don't have a gun. I didn't want one in my house...

Hey all, This isn't about a predator getting my chickens, though I fear they're next (the coop is pretty secure though, so hopefully not). I work late and got home last night at about 2:30ish am. Not long after that the outside dogs started barking loudly. At first I just opened the door...

So, I just read your thread...and how convienient that chickenzoo, the one who helped you, lives in my town. lol. I met her once at a chicken swap. Too bad I don't really know her in person!

The slipped tendons seems to be the closest match to me also. I hope it's not too late to help him/her. Sorry I didn't get pictures up. Errands took longer after school than expected, and I had to work. Just got home. I'll read the thread and try to get some pics up tomorrow. Thanks! Oh, and...

I posted that and went to bed not long after...I have to go to class right now, but I'll get pictures up when I get home in a couple hours.

I know that ya'll get a lot of these questions, and I did a search and couldn't find anything that really matched what I'm dealing with. So, I hope you will forgive me if you're sick of answering this question. About a week ago my hen hatched a single chick. I bought 5 chicks to go with it so...

Thanks. I had it at 99 and then put the eggs in and it got all wonky again. Finally have it at 100 and 50% humidity. Hopefully it stays put. I also hope that the father of these eggs is my OEGB rooster and not the RIR who claims all the girls lol...those will be some funky looking babies!

Thanks for the link. I have seen it, but it was very helpful. We're going to make something to see better, but from what I could see just putting the eggs in my hand..they look between 8 and 11 days. We could see them moving in there. I'm still fighting with this stupid incubator to get the temp...

Hey all! I haven't been around in a while, but I have a question and I know I can find an answer/advice here. My brother is clearing a part of the yard that's really brushy, so we can build a dog pen there. Apparently one of our little OEGB hens decided to build a nest in the brush. He'd been...

They seem to be in the same condition as they were before they started..I do catch them out and eating, but the inevitably go back to the nest box. Every time I go to check for eggs there they are. I have to pick them up out of the boxes, set them on the ground and take the eggs out of the box...

I just read about half of the thread and didn't see this question, so I hope it hasn't been answered already. I have 2 hens that have gone broody..one black australorp and one standard cochin. They've been broody for several weeks now..I take them off the nest, take the eggs and they go right...

Thanks for the replies! I knew I'd get an answer here. I only paid $8 for the pair. I thought they were just too adorable.

Hey all I picked up this pair of chickens from the auction last night. I'm not sure what they are, but I thought they were cute and paid next to nothing for them. The male is the same size and "type" and the serama roo I had, just a different color. Can anyone confirm that these are seramas or...

Nothing to add..everyone else gave great info. Just want to agree lol. I have a jrt who is 12 years old and he STILL runs up and down the fenceline barking his head off at everything and nothing all day long. I can barely let him outside. When the chickens are freeranging in the backyard he...

Quote: Yes it was mostly reclaimed materials. The only things on the whole coop that weren't previously used were the hinges on the door and the nails/screws. Everything else was used before for something else. Even the tarp was used on the previous coop. I'm pretty sure the cinderblocks came...

I am happy to report that the new pen is all finished! Royd did most of the work, but I tried to help as much as I could (still got dirt in my fingernails from burying cinderblocks!)..and have the sunburned face to prove it lol. It turned out awesome and was completely done with stuff that was...
