Your right Flash... I should have known better. Already wrote mods and apologized. Roomie not girlfriend but a close friend that I have worked with for about 12 years. She knows theres a prob. but she dont want to do anything or get accused of anything. Thanks for chimming

Hi GA.. thanks for the input. I have offered to help her pay to have her 4 fixed but she called (so she said ) and checked... no vet around here will do that without first giveing them ALL the shots they require. You talking in the neighborhood of 100.00 to 125.00 per cat. She doesn't want to...
Roomie started with 4... decided she wanted them outside.... thus they drew in more strays. How many times do you think they would breed before taking over? Just so you know... there are now 32 cats outside... How many does "roomie" claim? 4, got that? 4... the 4 she but outside. Not...
Roomies house so I cant quite get rid of her. Like I said, she's got so many cats.... hasn't even missed the first 3, and that was even when I wasn't 100% positive what was getting the chicks. I'm still only 99.5% sure, but that's close enough for me. Outside the fence, under the propane...
Well, this is my first year of raising chickens. In the last 2 weeks I have lost 5, 7 week old chicks... 2 rir and 3 beautiful wyandotte. Roomie has cats... to many to mention which I was pretty sure is the KILLERS. We have a fenced in back yard.. pretty small but 15 birds have plenty of room...
Roommate/Landlord says that was enough till next spring. Gotta figure out what we got... Find a home for the roosters then go from there. Believe me, I'm ready to start looking for eggs. I love doing this!
Where to put them? lol I have 1 Barred Rock.... 3 New Hampshire Reds... and 2 silkies not out of the bigger boarder yet. Hen House aint done, and this box is too small for 12. I guess I'll have to give up my bathtub?
Thanks for the info. I thought about that when I got out of the shower yesterday morning... I thought, man, I wouldn't have a problem opening it in here! haha
Looks like me after a night at the bar. Glad I decided to hatch eggs from now on... lol
This is the little booger that caused me to stress out yesterday and this morning.
Still pipping but doing real good this morning. Has accomplished more in the last hour than all day yesterday. I think being at the wrong end just made everything harder for him. Thanks everyone!
Had the same problem yesterday... I was so stressed. BUT with the help of everyone here, I calmed down. Mine piped at the wrong end since 10 yesterday morning. Used the egg carton, but with the small end being down, I thought maybe the weight of the shell would be to much for him to push off...
Nose is poking in and out one the bottom piped egg. I think he will be okey. Still not gonna help YET. He'll probly stay in there till late tonight... just to stress me out more...haha
awww, he's sitting by the one thats got the biggest pip. He peeps then the other one does. Like he's saying "hurry up" and the other is answering back "I'm trying" Way to cute. This is stressful !!!!
I just looked again. Actuallly when I first noticed this it was about 10 this morning. Bigger hole than I thought. if there is any kind of fluid in there, I think it would have drained out by now, or poor chicky would have drowned by now. Seems that it is bigger than when I first noticed it...
