    first egg layed

    Definitely not ameracaunas I would venture a guess that their australorps it's a breed my tractor supply carries frequently during chick days and they look alot like them. The light brown egg is also an indicator.

    Baby Chicks Dead - Not Sure What Happened

    Likely the big chickens got the small dead ones with feathers missing due to the fact that if it were a different predator it likely would have gone for your other chickens as well

    Baby Chicks Dead - Not Sure What Happened

    Sounds like most of its an issue of security. I keep my chicks caged until they're big enough to "hold their own" against my grown chickens and it seems to work best for me. Try putting them in a situation where they have less ability to wander and you may have more luck. Sorry you lost them but...

    Hatching Bantams?

    Sorry if that was hard to understand I just realized my wording could be a bit confusing. I meant that still air incubators temp can vary wildly from one corner to another and that moving an egg from the temp it was at the whole time during incubating to a higher or lower temp different area in...

    Hatching Bantams?

    Still airs Temps tend to vary so wildly across them that it tends to cause problems. The problem I had in mine before I upgraded was that when I put eggs into lockdown I didn't keep track of where they were in the incubator in the turning tray and the change in temp harmed my hatch rate. Do you...

    8 Oz Crele Hen Super Micro

    Not sure if this is where I should post this (posted under flock stories as well) but I went to pick up peachicks from a man near me who hatches them out. As we were passing by his birds I saw this teeny tiny little girl in a cage and ended up taking her home with me :D. Now I have seramas but...

    Chicken developing prolapse vent

    First batch was a bust but I didn't give up and incubated a few more and one was fertile! I started 7 more once I found out and it looks like I have 2 out of those. So not a super amazing fertility rate but he is getting up there :p. I'm SUPER excited and can't wait to see what they'll look like...

    Just rescued a wild Mallard duckling...looking for insight on raising it.

    There shouldn't be any problems with integration and such however I would be very careful of illness. Not only do wild birds carry things domestic birds do not as well as the other way around but cats mouths are full of deadly bacteria to the fragile immune system of a baby bird or water fowl...

    I did candle bbbuuuttt it's a little early (you can usually tell by day 5 though, best development on day 7 but the waiting ugh :barnie) and I'm not really good enough to see minor changes that some people can see in the first few days.

    Chicken developing prolapse vent

    Aw that sucks, he was pretty young but pulled through fine cause he's a trooper. Yeah raccoons are nasty and they'll just keep coming back too. Despite his trauma hes still the sweetest little rooster.

    Chicken developing prolapse vent

    His feet got eaten by a racoon when he was a chick but he gets around fine even gets on his roost I would think that if he could get up on the roost he could get on a hen but I haven't ever caught him successfully doing the "Devils Tango" :rolleyes:
