    Anyone tried using something to mimic a mother hen? Like a tea cozy?

    We have a huge beanie baby of *ahem* a baby chick that we use to keep the chicks company and someplace to cuddle. They seem to like it a lot :P

    Giving Wendy a Bath!

    Great photos! I've always wanted to give a chicken a bath, especially my silkies since they are the one who like to get dirty the most.

    Dropped one

    Ugh, I'm sorry! That has happened to us too when we had our first batch of eggs two years ago. My father wasn't sure about the eggs since there wasn't much activity going on near lockdown, and there was a smell coming from the incubator so he cleaned out the bad ones. Well one of them he decided...

    We got Babies! :D

    Marge, our "Silkhorn," is a mother for the first time! (And this is the first time we let a broody hen do the work.) The babies are supposed to hatch throughout the rest of this week a day apart, so far we have two lucky ones that are too cute! We have a Black Silkie and a Brahma/New Hampshire...

    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    Cute pictures! This is the first time we're doing the Broody Hen way, traditionally we would incubate the eggs but we decided to give it a try since 4 of our girls are the best broodies. We have two silkies on top of their own eggs (one of then has two and the other has four eggs) and we have a...

    Question about Heat Source

    Heya! I have a quick question to ask. We have two broody mothers whom are expecting to hatch eggs within the next two weeks (and this is the very first time we let the broody's do the job since we traditionally use an incubator during chick season.) Once they hatch do the chicks needs another...

    Hawk Attack Today

    I have never been in that kind of situation before - I suggest you could call your local fish and game and ask them for advice and see if they are able to handle the situation. The likelihood is that there may be nothing you can do because I'm told harassing a mother hawk and her nest is a...

    Rat Wont Die!!!!!!!

    Sounds like if this rat won't die any time soon you might resort to nuclear weaponry. LOL, just kidding. Really the only thing I can suggest is going the old fashion way - a snap trap. Or else a larger one which can catch the little bugger. Poisoning would work but I would hate to smell...

    Hawk Attack Today

    Quote: Another way to tell the difference between similar looking birds of prey is to observe them hunting. Hawks can have distinct hunting methods. Different methods can help Id your culprit. Example: Perchers vs. Divers I lost 2 SLW this summer past to a pair of giant Harriers. My mom...
