I put 10 eggs under my wellie a week ago monday. Last tuesday my 2 obnoxcias new hamshire hens started pestering wellie and she came out of the nest and then they attacked her. I ran them off and I tried to lead her back toward her nest. but she ran under neath the storage building. I went to...

My coop is about 7 feet high inside. The roost is about 5 ft. high. I have a 2 x 2 about 3 ft. high and about 2 ft. in front of the main roost. I have 2 7 week chicks who now roost on the main roost with their mother. The main roost is a 2 x 4.

I use Evergreen 16% Laying crumbles. Evergreen 18% start/gro/lay, and Red river grain brand scratch. Thats whats avaliable at the feed store I go to.

Backyarder. I have 4 hens, 2 young uns ( 1 pullet and 1 roo). and a small garden. Chickens are good at keeping bugs out. Not good around tomatoe plants. If you have both build a fence around your tomatoe plants!

Quote: I just set 10 eggs under my wellie hen who is appearantly in sitting mode. I will get back with you over the next few months to share my experiances if you are interested.

Thank you. I shall go back and do some research. I dont really need any more chickens but if Wellie want to be a mother Ill try my best to help her out. I can always find some one who wants some chickens. I let my Buff orpington hatch some chicks earlier this spring. Last night she had em on the...

Hello I havent posted in quite a while. I think my wellsummer hen has took a notion to set. She has been on the nest for 2 days now.She got cranky with me a little bit this evening. dont have a full grown rooster, I went out to a friend and got some fertile eggs and did the ole switcharoo...

Thats good for them. I have a hen that seems to be more alert than the rest. She seems to look up way better than my other 3. She spots hawks very quickly she sounds the alarm and they all take cover. The neighbors all around have dogs and that seems to deter land predators such as possums...

Hi Sooner. The little update worked. I will try some more later. I must get ready for work now. Good by every one. Ill try to go to The Poops and maybe someone may have some White Rock eggs that my Buff Orp hen can set on. I think she would like to be a mommy.

All roos or all pullets would be unusual. One time I let a hen set and she hatched out 13 and 9 of them was pullets. A friend of mine hatched 11 last spring and got 8 pullets. It sometimes can be the other way around though. I believe in the long run you would get slightly over 50% pullets. I...

I think chickens can eat most anything we can eat but nothing with alot of salt.

Hello. I just tried to update my profile and I posted to see if the update worked. My hens want out of jail but they have to stay there untill my garden plants get big enough they cant dig them up. 4 hens got an 8 x 20 foot spot to stay in so that aint too hard on em. They think when Im tilling...

If you like to rais a garden you can scatter the droppings when you clean out your pen into the garden and break it in. Your pen wont stink and your veggies will be heathy and organic. You can make it too rich and burn up ypur plants if you use to much manure. So just keep enough hens for the...

When you type in any town in the United States and go to the wikipedia site. It will tell about the place and it will have demographics and it will give the percetage of each ethnic group that lives there. The town I grew up in was in 2000 51% white, 28% American Indian, 18% black, 2% hispanic...

Quote: Im sure this was all a mistake. A guy like this would be harder to replace than any chicken.

In my area I would say racoons because they have caused themost damage around here for the last few years. During this time of year Bobcats and coyotes are more of a problem than other times of the year. Domestic dogs can wipe out an entire flock in short order. Hawks and owls can be a pest. Ive...

I would say working on a casing crew. Thats where you you run surface pipe into a well to keep salt water out of the fresh water table. Or run long string casing after the rig just finished drilling the hole and it was going to make a well. People from non oil producing states may not understand...

When I was litlle my sister and I killed our baby geese by giving them potatoe chips.

I have noticed a creek or river running the entire south boundy of your ranch. you may walk out the edge of the stream or wash to find foot tracks. Has there been any mountain lion reports in your area. You may have one working your ranch.
