The wife reminded me that a wild rooster down the street was killed about 8 weeks ago. Wonder if they miss his crowing in the mornings.

Inside the city limits in my own backyard I saw a big hawk sitting on my power pole just this week AND for the past two nights I can hear an owl across the street. Just what I need. If others have strikers I wont worry to much about the ladies. EASTER is the oldest and HOT is the youngest, all...

EE is almost 2yr and still laying, 5 are 1 yr and one is 7 months. Cant remember the breeds but some were laying brown eggs, some brown with dark brown spots. They all came from Pet Food Depot.

Haven't been around for a while but the wife keeps asking when the 6 girls are going to start laying again. Its been close to 6 weeks since they went on strike. None look like they are molting much if at all. The seventh an EE has not stopped laying. Any thoughts. North Phoenix.

So gave one sister the eggs that didn't hatch yet for a few days to see if there are any late bloomers. Her sister is raising the hatched chick. A third OLD hen is even helping to raise this one lone chick. Might get it some little buddies if none of the rest hatch.

So "Dewcy" Got shoved off the nest by her broody sister "Lucy". I'm out of town so I had my son and neighbor do a chick test. He saw one chick. Guess I'll do a head count when I get back home. Hope the sisters can tag team raising the chicks.

Nice, neighbor

My boy spent months sleeping in a dog kennel in the garage. 10:00 pm until 8:30 am. Told him if he would keep his beak shut he could sleep with the ladies. Problem was by 8:40 am he had serviced all three ladies at least once and crowing about it. Alas he has since moved on to a place with many...

Having learned quickly with a ferret, when they attach to a finger pulling and shaking doesn't work. Simply roll your hand up and back making them look up and then over their back. The lower jaw opens like magic. A quick light thump on the nose discurrages biting if done immediately after a...

Grease is in my veins. Raced 1/4 midgets at 6yo. Still have the 64 Vette I bought in 72 after HS graduation. Gave the 67 RS Camaro I bought in 74 to my son in 2002. Built many more mostly Chevys. Just finished the brakes on 97 4x4 Suburban tonight. NEVER dated a girl that looked at my Vette...

How do you like that. One of my two Buff Orpingtons went broody friday. Exactly 12 days AFTER I removed the roo in everybody's best interest. Guess I'll wait and see how she does. She's got 5 eggs under her.

Not enough time for that. My brother was cleaning and loading for his upcoming fishing trip or I would have tried something for sure.

Another thread I need to watch. Chickens, mushrooms, gardens, hunting, guns and now bees. This site is great. I have a feral hive that has refused to go into a top bar hive I built a year and a half ago. I'm going to try some lemon grass and see if that helps. They are in a wall of a building...

Got lucky. Got drawn for elk hunt December 7th. Kid's luckier. Got drawn first time putting in for December 14th hunt. Its going to be a very long year waiting.

10 eggs two plus weeks and no takers. Only one still lays with the ten but leaves.

Glad I Was able to resurrect this thread. I'll see if one of the girls will take the hint soon.

This is an old thread but came across a way in it to encourage a Buff Orp to go broody.
