I have picture of my chick's first poop! After about 6 hours he left that little brown poop you can see in the picture:

Here is a video I made of how I helped a chick out of his shell: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zl-_EwNqNOQ <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value=""></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"...

I'm not sure what breed this hen is but if she mated with a barred rock I think it would look like your chicken. The face is sooo similiar.

All my chicks were fathered by my black Jersey Giant rooster but because everyone kept leaving their eggs in front of my broody hens, I don't know which chick came from which hen. I know it's very early on for guessing but I'm just so curious. This was my first chick to hatch. (Chick 1) It...

I now have 3 happy healthy chicks. There are still 2 eggs left butwhen I candeled them there was a small air sak but the rest was solid dark everywhere, no light showed anything. No movement or anything either. The hens are stillsitting on them but seem less commited. Now that there are 3 chicks...

priszilla - the vet gave a your male cat birth control pills so he would stop peeing in front of the litter box?

One of my cats stopped peeing in the litterbox a year ago. I have since tried several different types of boxes, litter and locations all with no success. He always pees right in front of the box. Now I lay puppy training pads in front of and underneith the litter box which I change daily Also...

I pay $260 for field board in a nice quiet boarding facility on the bay and near long wooded trails. It doesn't include wormings and all that. Nor does it include ferrier services which used to cost my $20 and now are $35-$45! My horse is in a 6ish acre field with 5 other horses so he has lots...

Hey there! I'm in Pasadena, MD which is in A.A. county. I would love to meet other chicken enthusiasts, and I'd love to check out other people's set ups. I have new chicks hatching and I'd love to stick some other new chicks under the hens to join the flock. Anyone have extras??

OH MY GOSH GUESS WHAT! I checked the 4 eggs that I was soooo sure were duds AAAANNNNNDDDD...... 2 of the have little chicks beaks sticking out and I can hear them peeping!!!!!!! Surprise chicks!!!!!!! I'm going to have 2 more chicks! I'm soooo excited because this is a complete surprise. One is...

The chick is doing great! The moms are sharing well too!

I'm thinking about using electric poultry netting to win the battle against the squirrels, cats, dogs, foxes and other assorted nature in my life. I read an ad that said "poultry netting - 4 feet tall. Ideal for poultry and other assorted non-flying animals." Umm my chickens often fly up to sit...

I used an old 5ft by 10ft chain link dog run and I have it right up against my coop. I sat it on 1sq ft cement stepping stones and lined another row of stones around the inside, especially under perches. Not only does it make it extreamly hard to dig in or out of but it also makes poop clean up...

I think it's a domestecated animal like a dog because the preditor didn't eat the chickens. Wild animals use the energy needed to attack so they can eat so they surrive. This preditor probably wasn't hungry it was just curious and it's instincts kicked in. It probably grabbed one by the neck and...

When I worked at a zoo that had a rat problem we used vitamin E (or was it A?). We had high doses of the vitamin in feed we left out for them to eat. After a week or two the rodents would become brain damaged to the point where they couldn't walk for forgot to eat and then would die. This was...

A big zapper! Why didn't I think of that?! I have an old one in my barn in a box somewhere! I can't believe I didn't think of it. That's perfect! The noise might scare away other evil critters too! Ohhh and maybe an idiot squirrel might zap himself and decide the coop isn't such a swet place...

The though human urine only kept away deer? The chicken saddels are for the hens who get so torn up from rough sex! My rooster really tears at the poor hens. Most of them have very few feathers left on their backs and one needed stiches on her sides. Some had torn up bruised and bloodied...

I have a zillion moths coming up out of my chicken feed and also coming out of the straw in my coop. I don't know which was the orginal source of the moths. I feed the chickens crushed corn with laying mash, crush oyster shell, with a little bit or horse feed pellets (I had an extra giant bag...
