    We Have Lost Way Too Many Of our 3 month old birds

    Cackle said it in a way that wasn't right. Money speaks so don't give them another dime and tell people so they won't either. You went to them for advice and they showed how much they care after you get your money. It would only care a few mins to give advice. I agree with everyone, try to...

    bring home baby chicks today ( heating question)

    Perfect advice, I have been doing this for the past several weeks. I live in southern Nevada and have similar temps here. I have them on the lamp at night but turn it off and bring them into their coop a few times a week. They are right around 4 weeks now. Another 2 weeks or soon as the 2 runts...

    Lost 2 hens this week - raccoon? (pic of scat for the queasy)

    I always use a situation like that to justify a new firearm purchase.maybe a low cost .22lr.maybe that's just me though lol. The pellet gun might do the trick but it could take more than one. I hate to have anything suffer.

    5 chickens vs baby mouse

    Some chickens will try to kill/eat them and others won't. My grandfather used to yell at me when I didn't want to help him kill them. We would find them half eaten from time to time. Chickens would catch man eat them. I use mouse traps around places the chicks can't get them. If you don't want...

    Hoover hatchery? Any good?

    I just a order with them. Someone called to ask if they could replace some buff Orpington with golden nuggets since they will be out of buffs until spring. They let me know about golden nuggets and were really friendly. They shipped today so I am hoping for the best. I ordered through...

    Raising chicks in southern nevada

    Thanks for the reply,the garage gas a window so if it got to hot I could leave it slowly open to keep temps from the crazy hot temps we have been getting. I looked up similar questions but every year has slightly different weather. I bought a heat light anyways for the evening when we are home.

    Raising chicks in southern nevada

    Hello, new to posting.we live in the las Vegas area of southern Nevada where it is really hot this time of year. We were wondering if it will really be necessary for a heat lamp to run while we are at work? I was thinking of leaving the chicks in the garage where it is typically pretty warm or...
