Here's another long crower link.

Mine are 11 weeks old, and my largest Turken does nothing but honk. Instead of peeping, or clucking, she honks. Every sound, a honk. She walks around the run "Honk, Honk, Honk" while eating "Honk Honk" And it's LOUD.

It depends on the cat. 99% of cats won't try to take on a full grown chicken, and 90% of those that tried would fail. I don't trust my outside cat around my chickens, she's at least 12 years old, but catches and eats GIANT CROWS. Now, if you never see the tale tale marks of the cats kill, it's...

It will work but there are issues. 1. Cleaning the run. It's not enough to have access to your coop, you'll need to clean the run as well. 2. Enough sunlight under the deck for a run. Chickens need some sunshine for egg production, if it's too dark, then you won't have happy chickens. 3. Access...

They hatch tomorrow, so it's really wait and see this late in the process. They may survive, but there's not much anyone could tell you this late in the process. ♠

The one peeping this morning has hatched and looks very strong. Now, how long should I wait to remove the little tyke from the bator? There are 32 other eggs remaining.

Quote: Make him a soft boiled egg, and use a fake egg, then watch as he has trouble cutting the top off.

I got really unlucky on the eggs shipping, the temp spiked up HUGE between ordering and receiving the eggs. 3 went obviously bad during incubation, and the eggs are so dark than candling simply did not work on most of them. Those that I could candle, did not show any positive signs of...

Quote: Yes... always. If you receive a citation from a city entity, you are in the wrong. City's dont issue citations to people who are following the law. Whether or not the citation is actually valid is another question, and its up to the individual to prove it... as you've previously...

Quote: I once had a chicken that swam in the swimming pool. I didn't even know chicken could swim. Now, we only had one chicken at the time (others died) and had an injured wild duck as well, and the duck swam in the pool, so I'm sure that's where the chicken got the idea. But watching a...

If the temp was a bit low during the first few days, 22 days is not uncommon. Some hatch as late as 25 days. Try not to worry until then. Also, with shipped eggs this time of year, the hatch rates are pretty low. They get scrambled by the movement, or get started by getting too hot. Were you...

How about the name Iron Eye? When I first saw the picture, I thought; "Of course they are afraid of him, what chicken isn't afraid of an Eagle" The way the picture opens, it cut off the legs and they couldn't be seen until scrolling down. I thought it was an eagle that had be damaged by some...

EE differ greatly in size. I have 4 that are the same exact age, and one is literally more that twice the size of the smallest. One is HUGE and one is TINY.

Tips on the 5 Gallon bucket waterer. 1. Do not hang by the handle. Drill 4 holes in the bucket, and place bolts with washers in the holes. Hang the buck by the four bolts. This way failure does not crush your chicks. 2. You MUST use a lid. Otherwise your chickens will eventually jump in the...

If you hatch them, they will come!

Get more chickens so a 50lb bag only lasts two weeks. Bugs are less of an issue then.

Iheartchicks<3 : omg!! no way.. im good with 6. So you say now. Just wait.

Quote: Cover the small planters with hardware cloth, so the kitty grass can grow out the top, but the chickens can't get to the base or roots. They'll eat everything they can reach, and will destroy the plants within an hour if you don't protect the base and roots.

Quote: Make it bigger than you think you'll need. Chicken math has hit you.
