I have a hen who has been sitting on eggs for 4 weeks with no sign of hatching any time soon. I have 4 chicks that were hatched in an incubator 4 days ago. What are the odds I could slip these babies under the mamma and have her raise them as her own?
My chickens seem to be wandering a bit this year and have taken to the neighbor's flower beds. Is there anyway we can safely keep them from digging in her flowers?
Thanks
Not sure if it's related to crop stasis but we always lose 1 or 2 turkeys every year. I know they're more delicate than chicks but it just seems to be the norm. We've had better luck with BBB than whites.

We had an Araucana pullet who was missing for three days - gave her up for gone when all the sudden she's back. ??? A few weeks later our roo did the same thing. Don't know where they're going but they seem to find they're way home.
Does anyone know how often you can apply the Ivermectin and how fast it works? We're heading to fair in three weeks and just found out we have lice. Thanks!!

Black Star isn't an available breed from MPC. We were hoping it was the double laced Barnevelder that was supposed to be shipped or possible welsummer.

Thanks for all your help and suggestions. Ours are on chick starter - actually 26%, which is the highest I can find around here (Michigan). I am going to change to a red light today. I talked to the feed store yesterday afternoon and she also recommended putting a baby cake (high protien -...
