    Feeding late at night instead of early morning?

    I feed mine in the morning and pick up the bowls of remaining food after the sun goes down. But I have a younger pair that never really bonded to the others. They've been accepted (as bottom of the pecking order) but they won't sleep with the others. Because they are last to peck through the...

    where to store eggs before incubation

    Thanks for that on the young hens. However, my flock is getting older and are laying fewer eggs and my rooster seems to be less "active". Araucana are harder to find and harder to hatch so I need more options than than I would with another breed.

    where to store eggs before incubation

    I have a few Araucana hens laying eggs that I wish to hatch in an incubator. I've read that I should store them at 55-65°F, until resting, then incubating. That is cooler than my house and warmer than the refrigerator. How can I achieve this temperature?

    Georgia - Small Araucana flock. Looking for a good breader.

    Howdy neighbors. I have small flock of Araucana and I would like to add 10 or 20 more of them in Spring 2026. The mail service in this area is terrible for shipping chickens but I might try again. I'm northeast of Atlanta 25 miles. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good breeder to get them...

    YO GEORGIANS! :)

    Georgia is the chicken capital. You can get just about any kind of chicken here. The last place that I bought chickens from is The Pasture Farms - Northwest of Atl. Craigslist always has people trying to sell chickens. So does Facebook groups but you have to use private messages (PMs) to discuss...

    Araucana thread anyone?

    I want to incubate a small batch of Araucana eggs. Does anyone have any Araucana specific advice on doing that? I'm asking because the hatch rate seems to be pretty low with Araucana.

    Help me, PLEASE, find a compliant chicken coop and run !

    I don't want to keep chickens in anything less than about 33sqft per bird of run space and 10 + 10/per chicken of coop sq footage. This would still include an hour or two of free run time per day, when possible. Without free run time, they would need even more run space. "Cooped up" chickens do...

    Can Ivermectin be administered in drinking water?

    Yes, this done all the time. You can use "injectable" ivermectine that is not water soluble in the water. It will separate over time so you may want to shake up the waterer if you can. You use it in the water for a couple days, discard it afterwards, then do it again in two weeks
