Hey yall!
I have several silkie chicks, as wel and as modern game bantam chicks that have alot of little redish tiny crawling specks on them. I can ONLY assume it is mites I guess? I always check, and we've never had any issues EVER. What is safe to put on very young chicks? They are with their...
I'm honestly terrified to even attempt that. That would be a nice idea, and would be perfect. I have no clue WHERE or even how the snake got in. Tin roof, full hardware cloth and wood. Etc... Like I just dont know. But in way too terrified to put them back out there. Their literally on my porch...
I have built something for the time being... but I'm not satisfied with it. I honestly hate it. Their other coop was so nice and this just sucks. They cant scratch the ground etc. I have EVERYTHING hardware cloth with wood around too. But i dont like it. Now I need a new one lol this may be an...
I had all of my girls and their week and 3 day old chicks in what I thought was a SAFE coop ! After years... I was wrong. A large king snake got in, killed several babies and one of my sweet girls that was co parenting with my other hen. I'm devastated. Just finished burying her.... I need a...

Egg 12 no development or blood ring
Egg 15 no development or blood ring
I THINK. Definitely try to get better...
I know I know, dont count ya chicks before they hatch. But so far my new incubator has been amazing. Everything has stayed perfectly etc, every time I've candles all eggs have been developing and these little boogers have been moving like crazy!!! So I'm about to lockdown as of tonight. What is...
I definitely have already learned my lesson with the start small thing... I went in 25 feet deep a few months ago, lost 60% of the birds I got. Just not what I wanted to happen, but lesson learned. ugh! I appreciate all of your advice!!!
I definitely am pursuing npip / ai certification as soon...
Hey y'all..
