It’s a friend of my daughter in law who keeps them for pets. I really am attached to my girls. My hens are Rhode Island reds. I’m only thinking about it and I have not committed to even sell them. Thank you for your info. God bless💕

Laying hens that are 3 years old.. I was asked if I would sell them some. What would I sell them for?

Thank you all for your kind words. My husband went and let the owner know and he was ver apologetic. He then came over to talk with me and apologized for his two labs which are active bird dogs they take hunting. He said they would replace all 22 chickens and the two ducks. They are pretty good...

Does anyone know what I need to do about our neighbors two labs came into our yard and killed all 22 chickens and my granddaughters 2 ducks. I now have no egg layers I lost incom on selling my eggs. My roosters were tame and very friendly including my Rhode Island Red rooster. I have been crying...

Which thermometer should I use ? And which one is more accurate?

I put the splint on hours after it hatched. The chick gets around pretty good for its handicap. I guess it will be a super spoiled baby.. nothing wrong with that

This is what we found on a splint. Her leg doesn’t set down.. it’s not twisted but I hope the chick isn’t in pain.

I used the splint and had it on for 3 days I then took it off and it hasn’t worked Is there something else I can do or just keep the splint on longer?

Good morning everyone I have a chick That has a splayed out leg it’s hard for her to walk and the right leg is fine. Has anyone had this and how do I help it? I don’t want to euthanize the chick

Thank You unexpected-chicken-lover

Shots for coccidiosis, merrick the main shots that are given when you purchase them from Strombergs or Mcmurray. When my hens hatch their own, I have not had any of them get sick. Just wondering if this really has to be done.

Update the stragglers are hatching I have 3 new chicks this morning

Thank you I will lower the heat a bit more. So having the heat at 100.76 down to 100.04 is where it was. Please what do you suggest as a safe high and lowest temp would be? Also my humidity stayed at 50% to 55% until the last three days where I’m aiming it to stay between 70% to 75%. Is this...

Also I read they need a few shots is this necessary as the chicks my hens raised has had no issues.

I have some stragglers. One has started to hatch and will give the others 2 more days. This is Day 20 by the way. Hatched a day early. I hope I did this correct

I have 6 dry chicks and one almost dry.. I have one wet and out of shell but it is having a hard time... it has some lungs on it so that’s good. I have humidity at 70% to 73% and temp running at 100.76F down to 100.4F.

Thank you Spartan22

Hello all, I have been reading this wonderful site for awhile and decided to join. I am in the process of hatching my first brood of chicks. I usually let my hens do this but my granddaughters wanted to watch them hatch. Well I’m on day 19.5 and we just had one hatch early. I’m so terrified to...
