    How will baby chicks get down from the nest?

    I just had my first broody experience. My nest boxes were along the floor though. I've seen that most people move the nest to seclusion, at a lower level or make a ramp to it. I had planned on keeping my broody in the house along with all the other chickens, however this changed once the 1st...

    HELP! Broody with chicks refusing ducklings?

    I defiantly learned my lesson about putting the duck eggs with the chicken eggs, I didn't realize the duck eggs take longer until about a week after my broody was sitting on them. Interesting thing is the 2nd chick didn't hatch until 3 days later and she had no problem with it, but it was 5 days...

What you do is set this trap up with a small handful of cat food, small dog food or catfish feed(we use this) down inside...
