one hen attacked and pecked the baby chick, I took it then she seemed interested again so I put the chick down and when she came at it again I knew she would not be a good momma hen. I put the chick under Henny Penny with the other chick. Henny penny woke up and blinked with surprise when the...

Hi do you still have the chickens, May I come and see them today if you do still have them?

Thank you for explaining the light, I do leave the light on sometimes, I think it is florescent spiral bulb, probably not the best and also dim. I tried plastic Easter eggs but didn't put rocks to weight them, I'll try that.Some how I thought I would save money and have better eggs if I raised...

Hmmm, I thought that they needed complete darkness at night. So I covered the windows and turn the light off at around 6:00 or 10:00 depending on how tired they seem to be. Can chickens sleep with the light on? I made nests in nesting boxes and put store bought eggs in the nests. We will see...

I think the Americana bantam cross is 8 months old the Buff orpington (?)is either 5 months or 18 months, I was told she hatched in July. She is the one who has laid 5 eggs and then quit. They are out side many hours a day and stay in the house at night. Is that what you were referring to when...

Still no eggs, I put store bought eggs in the nest to encourage my 2 chickens they are females, one has laid 5 eggs in a month. any advise or suggestions on how to get them to lay eggs?

Patch up the coop, so drafts and breezes don't blow through. Chickens are hardy, you may look up the breed of your chickens and find out how cold of temperature they tolerate. They fluff out their feathers and keep quite warm. Breezes can cause the chickens to be cold more than just cold...

It looks like a baby turkey to me.

Yeah! someone who knows the value of having chickens, My plan for my chickens is to let them into the raspberry patch to till, fertilize, eat and supply eggs. Chickens love to scratch and dig and the weeds die, as they walk they fertilize ( leave hen droppings(poop)) along the way then come...

It was a great life living on the farm as a child. My calf did have a name she was a black white face calf her name was "Moon Beam ". If you saw her from the side or back she was midnight black and then when she turned to look at me with her very white face it reminded me of the bright moon in...

Kaitlyn, thank you for welcoming me to the forum, and thank you for offering to answer questions I have and need answered. You may ask me questions also. I grew up on a farm with a dad that was vigilant and grew fantastic gardens and raised chickens, cows and ducks and geese. Mom and all us...
