Tonight I set 12 BO eggs under two of my three broody BO hens. They have already been broody for a while and I am hoping they will stay on them. They seemed quite delighted tonight to find eggs in their boxes when they got back in them after me kicking them out to eat and set the eggs. Two...

I have some 10 week old meaties and every day or two starting about a week ago one dies. It seems fine at one part of the day and then later it is just laying there not looking well, eyes closed and then by later it is dead. We did one in the other day before it died, it was just laying there...

I have 1.5 week old meat king chicks and I am wondering when to start to restrict their food. Next week they will be going outside in their tractor so they will be eating grass as well. Thanks

I was wondering what age you start to give your chicks treats and what you would start with. Mine are now 4.5 weeks. They are outside in a tractor and get lots of grass, clover and bugs that they find but would like to give them some special treats now and again. Thanks

Hi I am looking to buy or swap for a Dominique pullet or young hen in the Maritimes. Please contact me if you have any available. I have one cockerel and am now in love with the breed. Thanks

Give a man a hammer and you will be surprised what you will get!!! This is my chicken tractor my hubby is building for me, it is 8 feet wide and 4 1/2 feet deep. It is made out of a wind dome from a truck. We have two of these domes and will be making another as soon as this is done. The run...

Two mornings ago I went to check my three week old chicks and four of them had been pecked through the night. There were some red spots on face and some slight injuries to their combs. I separated them right away and treated them with the purple stuff from a feed store they recomended. They...

Please see the updated pics below I took 24 Buff Orpington eggs to a gentleman to hatch for me and to my surprise not all are Buffs!!! He figured out that a dozen of my eggs got mixed with a dozen fresh eggs for sale. So I have some chicks that I have no idea what they are. Some have furry...
