It sounds like Carpenter bees not bumble bees, google them and you will find several ways to get rid of them. The dusting the holes at night (so sting risk is lowered and they are in the hole itself) and sealing the holes with putty/caulking worked for us. Some people spray them in the air...

This thread is long but full of ideas that may work for you. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/181289/how-to-break-a-broody-hen

Several years ago I had a cuckoo maran that went broody every year and was champ sitting on non fertile eggs, we did the same thing you did and gave her some fertile eggs. She did great until they hatched and proceeded to kill most of them and was going after the last two as they emerged from...

This place is in Bridgewater, I have seen a couple posts on this forum about them with good reviews. You can call them to get the pricing and days they do processing. http://www.denbestenfarm.com/customslaughterhouse.html

The flashing should hold up just fine and block that gap up without any issues. Keep an eye on craigslist, freecycle for other things you might want to make useful to use in the coop later (leftover building supplies, crates for nesting boxes etc.. It sounds like you will have a completely...

The flashing should work fine provided it covers the gap and rolling out the linoleum over the plywood and flashing will reduce any risk of chicken injury from them fussing with the flashing edges. Even with the humidity/moisture the flashing should suffice until he returns and you can then...

a few chicks should not smell too much the first couple weeks so maybe you can keep them in the house for that period. As they get older and the smell beats out the cleanings you can then move them to the shed or garage with their brooder and heat lamp provided they will be safe from predators...

Congratulations! I had the same reaction the first time I picked up a box of chicks at the P.O.. They sure do grow fast, enjoy them and all those eggs they will eventually provide you with.

For what it is worth we received keets the same way you did and the cage included a nest box full of eggs (infertile). We did the following and though we still see some mating behaviors there are no longer any eggs laid and the female has never been egg bound. Covered their cage with a dark...

I guess my question to her would be what she wants to get a degree in and what occupation she are hoping for and then suggest you guys work backward from there. There are several high demand jobs that with her AA, good grades and some online searching she will find “tuition reimbursement” in the...

They are too cute and I think you have a great knack for names, Teresa, spawn of Mephistopheles, chicken of doom is great!

Fun thread where I keep getting reminded of other actors while reading the thread. Viggo Mortensen and Daniel Day Lewis

This needed a *thud* alert, simply beautiful chicks!

The news makes it sound like they were at an area where soon to be deployed are staged for processing to Iraq. Name of "deceased shooter" rank Maj. released by media, looked him up and only found this: http://www.armytimes.com/news/2009/04/army_officer_list_042009w/ What would make a soldier...

"there was no breaking point with my spouse...he said, "no." I said, "leave." Problem solved..." Oh good grief duck walk I just died when I read that....priceless.
