    Need help—first time hatching eggs

    Big thing here is the membrane drying out. It'll become like a hard candy coating that they can't break. If it has been over 48 hours, I'd experimentally pull some of the shell off to see 1) if the blood vessels and such absorbed 2) if the membrane is as hard as it looks. If the membrane is...

    Please help! Is this normal for a new hatched duck?

    Chiming in on this old thread to say. YAS! The mash worked wonders for a duckling I had to help out of its shell and was doing just what the OP's duckling was doing. Bless this thread for existing.

    My chicks are late! I have no idea when they'll actually get here now. My poor chicks... The lady at the post office was quite rude as well when I called to give them the heads up that there was a shipment of chicks inbound. It has not been my week.

We are in the process of building a bigger, better enclosure with a large shed-type coop that I can easily walk in and...

    Our little homestead in Alabama

    We call ourselves Fall Creek Adventures, and yep... we are on Instagram. (#FallCreekAdventures) Growing up my family always had lots of animals, so when I inherited my childhood home and land, my husband and I decided to start homesteading. :) (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first...
