    Adding heat to new momma and babies?

    It was! She took them like a good momma. The first night was great, the second night was cold, and one didn't get the heat it needed, and died. She is doing really well and the babies are too. I ended up giving her 5, with 3 being bantams. Thanks for asking!

    Adding heat to new momma and babies?

    Topic of the Week - Chicken Behaviour and Flock Dynamics Part 2 - Bullying Behaviour

    I have a small flock, 9 hens and 1 roo. Only 1 hen is laying so far (still young), and they all get along great during the day... That being said, at night it is hell for my Orpington. No one wants to roost next to her, and one of my hens doesn't let anyone roost next to her unless it is 2...

    What to do with a rooster?

    You might get lucky if you post it on craigslist or check for a poultry auction near you.

    Mt. Healthy Hatchery EXTRA EXTRA!

    I am pretty excited to receive my order from them next week. The prices seemed alright to me since there is free shipping and just a 40$ order fee, which is still about half the price of shipping from other hatcheries I've seen. Good luck on your chicken math! lol :wee

    How do hatcheries know this?

    Hi all! I was looking around on a hatchery website and noticed that they are predicting how many of certain breeds will have female vs male on a certain hatch date. How do they know this? I am super curious about the process. Thanks!
