I has my 1st batch of ducks hatch over the last few days and the last one to hatch seems REALLY WEAK... It can't keep it's little legs under it(they slide to the sides when it moves). When does move it's more like it's flipping to where it needs to go. I've gave it some water, via dropper. It...

I was at Atwoods, in greenville Texas yesterday and they had baby chickies from Ideal Poultry. So being that I needed a few more pullets, I got the last 8 they had.. I got bantam instead of big chicks, only casue I think bannies are cool.. Here's a link to my new babies, just flip past...

Yesterday morning, during feeding, one of my 12 week old free range chicks met the underside of Ms Voodoo's hoof... I got Voo to move and noticed that the chick wasn't moving like normal.. After getting it and looking closer I found out it had a broken leg (that was all that Voo stepped...

I went to move the eggs off the turner this morning and found a egg with a beak coming out (9a and 5 days early).. So I pulled all the other eggs off the turner and watched and waited. Well, another chick hatched, and this one still is in it's shell (9p). So how longshould I wait before I...

I have about 20 Buff orps and BR roos that I have no use for. They're about 6 months old. And I thought about processing them.. Is this a good idea or bad? I also have a year old RIR roo who needs to go. And thought about processing him. What do you think about him? All my chickens have been...

My 1st chick hatched today, day 19. I woke up this morning hearing churping and thought it was birds outside.. WRONG.... I went the the bathroom this evening and found a cracked egg. So I asked hubby if he had messed with the bator, and was told NO... Than the egg churped and moved.. This...

Well Blackberry is going outside TONIGHT... After all I have done for her, she showed me her thanks but attacking me.... She jumped out of her box and started going "off" on me. So I'm putting her back outside, with her mates. She's been up walking for the last few days, so I think she will...

Well Blackberry is doing better. She's up moving more and getting use to the noise in the house.. Sad part is that I think she might have to stay in all winter. She'a a really good girl and hasn't tryed to get out of her tub, YET.... My vet suggest give her a few eggs to set on to keep her...

They are so small, and I just don't know what to do with them.. She has now laid 2 eggs, I watched her today to see if it was one of my other girls, and sure enough it was her. So what do you do with the bantam eggs?

OK, so I got my first egg yesterday... But when I went out there yesterday morning, NOTHING. Than I went out there after 5pm, and I found an egg. So is it normal for hens to lay in the afternoon/evening. I grew up only checking the boxes in the morning, so I'm not sure if laying in the...
