We had an issue with a fox a month ago or so and we set up live traps. We have a friend that does it for a living. He used honey buns smashed through the bottom of the trap that wired a kfc drumstick to the back of it. That way they can't grab and run. We set it up that night and it was in the...
Oh sorry. POL means "point of lay." So I'm looking for a pullet that has either just started laying eggs or will be laying in the next few weeks.
She can't do chicks right now though.
Does anyone have or no someone that sells BLRW hatching eggs? I know this is like the unicorn or chicken breeds to get! Lol. I had 5. One chick died the first night I got it and then all of the sudden one of my juvinille's showed up missing last night.
Any of you middle tn chicken farmers raise peafowl? I think I'm wanting to hatch some out under my broody hen and let her raise them. Anyone done that before?
Reached my goal today!! 12 eggs in a day!! Woohoo! And the kicker, my 12th egg came from my fbcm pullet!! Of course I found it on the floor of my coop. But maybe my dumb chicken will learn to use the nesting boxes soon! Lol. Yes my eggs are dirty, don't judge
When they all start laying I should have around 20 or so layers. I can't wait!! Your baby's are so cute! Good luck. My last hatch I did an experiment and picked out only the "round" eggs from my hens to hatch. And low and behold. Everyone of them turned out to be a pullet!!
Awe thanks! Yes I have waited not so patiently for my green and blue eggs (AM didn't lay today) now I'm just waiting on my "chocolate" eggs!
Thanks, my nails are Jamberry nail wraps! I love them!! Have you heard of them. They are almost as addicting as chickens!!
Last summer my broodies hatched out 3 clutches. I thought like you the 1st batch.
After they are all hatched the hen waits about 24 hours or so then gets down and starts clucking to them. You'll be amazed at how well a day old chick can hop. I did go in the coop quite a few times to check on...
