My dad named his the "Chick Mahal", like the Taj Mahal, because they are all spoiled rotten...

I had a single turkey in with ducklings and I ended up having to take him out after only an hour. The ducks had nibbled at the turkey so much, that the turkey was SOAKING WET. It was chilly weather and the turkey had to be taken back in the house to get warmed again. Ducks are crazy!

Right at freezing range (30's) and in a coop....

I have been wanting to hatch some early chicks, and my parents have given me some of their fertile eggs to hatch. The only problem is they work and don't get home until about 2 in the afternoon, and the eggs are layed and get cold between that time. If I put these in the Incubator, are they...

Hi There! Welcome! I am from NE Indiana also, close to Angola! We are also doing meat chickens this Spring (maybe getting some in the next few weeks!). I think what has kept the bigger "critters" away from our chickens has been having 2 dogs, and electric fencing. We have had egg layers...

Hi! I have chickens and had tried my hand at raising a turkey from the feed store this last spring, but it died when the chickens attacked it one night. He was about 2 months old, and as big as the chickens his same age. But, I found him dead the next morning and was so sad! But I want to...

OK, I checked out all of the usual hang out spots. Nothing. There aren't many places for them to hide their eggs. They are mostly in a pasture area, and lean-to & coop. A few of the Americaunas get out through the fence, and go to the garden & apple trees. In the pasture there is no where to...

My older girls are DEFINITELY molting. But I am not finding any feathers from the new ones. They are fluffy and gorgeous. I will go out this afternoon and re-look in their spots where they lay and hang out. (Under a grape arbor...) We have recently cleaned out much of the areas too...

They do make bee lines to the garden & apple trees. But we built a new coop, and I actually kept them shut in it for about 6 days, and there were no additional eggs those days (beside the 2-3 from the older chickens). I have also checked their spots between the barn & the garden... nothin...

I am beyond myself, I don't know what the problem is. We have Ameracauna and Buff Orpington. They were hatched on April 6th 2009, which was almost 31 weeks ago. And I have YET to see any eggs from ANY of them! Around August, I expected them to start laying anytime, so I switched from the...

Very impressive! I have done that before with mulch, when my hubby had knee surgery. I DID want it done, so I did it! Now go take some Ibuprofen!:sick

This Spring I bought 2 turkeys, and one died little. The other one I raised in my basement until he got big enough to go out with the rest of the barnyard. The first few days I lock him in a pen by himself. The one evening my hubby left him out. The next morning we found him, he had been...

My chickens have over 2 acres to roam and scratch around, but they choose to come up to my flower beds and dig... And to poop on my porches. They are backyard chickens!

Mustard in an egg. That is a great idea. I have some Americaunas that (still) aren't laying but older chickens that are. And when I have then closed up in their *new* coop, the Americaunas eat the eggs (usually). So this idea, I will definitely try! Thanks!

I am semi-new (3 years) to the "chicken world" but by the Spring, plan on getting MORE CHICKENS! I was wondering, all of you who are from Indiana, what kinds of chickens do you have? Or heck , animals for that matter! I have Barred Rock, Rhode Island Reds, Buff Orpingtons, Americaunas, and...

HI! 4boysmama, I am in NE Indiana... Thanks!

Thanks, I will look there.

Hi! I am from the NE corner of Indiana, and have had a horrible time locating breeders who have Nankins or Cubalayas. I have posted on the Nankin site, but no one posts on there and have gotten no response for over 2 months. I am willing to drive a little ways (1-2 hours). Just need some...

Hi!!! I was looking for anyone who has Nankin Chickens within a few hour drive of northern Indiana. I can't seem to find any by doing searches on the Internet! Up into Michigan, Indiana, Ohio... any of those locations, please let me know! Am very interested! Thanks so much!

Hi!!! I have done so many searches on the Internet looking for Nankin bantams and/or breeders. I have some up with little to nothing! I am in Northern Indiana, and would prefer to have someone with in a few hours drive. We will actually be going up into Michigan in a few weeks also, so if...
