    Will a hen that's just hatched off her chicks except new born incubated chicks?

    Good news. I did wait until after dark and gently slipped the incubated chicks in with the broody. The chicks I had were of the same breed so you can't hardly tell the difference in them. When I went out to check on them this morning she was protecting them as if they were her own. I'll be...

    I have built 2 coops in the last 5 years. The are easy to do. The first one was a 8x8, 8x16, and 8x10 closed in run. I went down to the Home Depot and purchased fence panels 6x8, 2x4s, 1x4s, tin for the roofing, sheet metal screws for the roofing and wood screws. The closed in run was a...

    TSC Sells Ships Chicks?!? Hoover's Hatchery (dropships)

    I have been buying chicks from TSC for 5 years and have ordered ducks from Hoover's hatchery. I've had real good luck with TSC chicks and also with my ducks from Hoover's. When it comes to sexing my TSC chicks have been very accurate. I've bought bantams from TSC also. I like getting them to see...

    No rooster fertile eggs?

    I have both ducks and chickens but I haven'tr\ seen any aggression from my drakes . I'll be watching out for it though. It could be a while yet because their only a few months old.

    Comment by 'WGHowell' in article 'Chicken Sexing'

    I've been doing my chicks much the same way now for quiet a while. They do seem to do better and seem to get along with all the other chickens a lot quicker. Azygous I see you are from Colorado. There's quiet a difference from where I live in Middle Georgia, but the concept is still the same ...

My brother was there with his dog and that's how I found out I had a large rat snake eating my chicks. The bad thing was he was hiding right under my nose...

    Official BYC Poll: Which waterer is better: Nipples or cups?

    I prefer the old way of watering . I have 2 five gallon , 2 three gallon and 1 large pan I keep water in out by the well so they have plenty of watering holes to choose from. In Georgia during the summer you can never have to many watering holes. I do my best to select places in the yard that...
