My husband and I are moving in about 3 months and need our 4x8 coop moved about 8 miles. I am having a heck of a time getting someone that can do this. Its going to need a forklift to get it to the front yard. Can't fit a flat bed in the back due to neighbor's fence. Any suggestions?

I waited to long to set up the broody enclosure and now that its set up, I need to move her and 3 eggs. I plan on doing this at night. I've set up the broody area to be as dark as possible in the nest box. Anything else I need to be aware of. I don't want to break her broodiness? Her current...

I rescued 3 seven-year-old hens. One isn't laying any longer, and two (a RIR and unknown Black & Red) lay one egg daily. The two that lay, their eggs are distinctly different in shape. So, the RIR is laying the poopy smelling eggs, I think. I wash the eggs just before using them and noted...

I have a bantam GLC and a bantam Golden Sebright. the Cochin is just about a year old and the Sebright is about 17 months old. For the past 4-5 months, these 2 nut cases go broody together for weeks on end. Its just about ridiculous and they are my only hens of laying age. The rest of my...

So, I adopted 3 hens from one of my clients. I am a pet sitter. He is losing his home and while caring for his dog, Sam, I noticed the hens were in dire need of just about everything. The coop was just an utter disaster. They were laying their eggs on a poop-covered floor, flies were...

I am considering adding a single duck to my flock. My daughter insists that she be accompanied by a chicken while in her kiddie pool. So, needless to say, I have rescued my hens on many occasions! To solve this constant life guarding, I thought it would be easier to just get the kid a darned...

I have a 14 month old Sebright hen. She is going broody for the second time since January. I can't figure her out. Aren't Sebrights supposed to be flaky, non-broody, terrible mothers? She is in the same nest box as my broody cochin hen. This should be fun!

Ok, so my 3 year old opened the chick pen and a visiting Lab ran in and grabbed my FAVORITE silver laced cochin chick, about 2 months old. While my little chick was in her mouth she chased 2 other chicks. I screamed bloody murder and she dropped the chick and cowered in the yard. I picked up...

I am addicted! I admit. Sultans are soooooo wonderfully addictive. I am looking for the holy grail of chickens, to me......the Black Sultan. If you have a few to spare, I'd like to have them please! I would also love some white Sultans too. Its so tough to get a good quality Sultan.

So i am on day 22 here. Yesterday I had 3 chicks hatch and the last 6....NOTHING!!! No pips....?????? They are bantam black cochins. I candled this morning....I know, big NO NO! But I am not sure if anything was moving in the last 6 but then again it IS day 22. Should I make a hole in the...

I have 3 three-week old Silver Laced Cochin bantams. Very social and sweet birds. A total of 5 hatched out and I am keeping 2. Local pick up only. Great for young children or a 4H project.

Local Pick Up Only!!! I have hatched out 4 bantam Sultan chicks. Very cute. $25 takes all or $8 each. Located in East Providence, RI.

I have been with T-Mobile for YEARS and I just heard that AT&T is buying them out! I DID NOT sign a contract with AT&T and if this goes thru I will not continue on with AT&T. Its just another monopoly.

OK, so I live in the god-awful state of Rhode Island....not by choice. Anyhow, I have owned a dog walking business for about 12 years and lately it seems that the towns I service have new, gung-ho dog officers who love to patrol my canine hot spots. So, now I am off to check out a location...

I am working on getting some eggs from a woman in Australia. We are both not well versed in the USDA regulations on importing eggs between these 2 countries. Can someone point me in the right direction to the link on the USDA site for safe countries? I am going to look today, but I am sure...

My Sebright is a momma to a singleton. Things were going great but tonight she wants to roost with the girls and her poor chick is on the floor screaming bloody murder. So, I picked up the chick and put her in the brooder with some cochin chicks I hatched out. Poor thing is so confused. But...

My BC chicks are hatching and the first one was fine but the next one had blood on her yolk sac. She seems fine so far but should I be worried?

My favoritw hen, Banshee, a Sultan was killed today. She died tryiing to protect her flockmate's chick to a darn coopers hawk. The jerk was up in the tree watching us as we looked for the chick...to no avail. I cried when I took my shower tonight. We spent 5 hours securing the run, where...

So I SEVERELY overpaid for 6 Sultan eggs on ebay. $38 plus shipping. I got the eggs last Thursday and the eggs were very porous, oddly shaped and not white. I have a sultan hen. Her eggs were way better looking. But I don't have a sultan roo, so I got these eggs. I contacted the seller asking...

Since 10am, I have only seen one pip....its now 2pm. When do I intervene?
