I missed one, and I somehow have a cockerel left. Now I am left wondering who died yesterday?

Quoted this so I could click it, BC what us live? Guess I'll find out

I don't need a smart reply. No one does, but they are often offered. If you do, I will do what I must. Four birds are dead in my run. I can't say I know what happened. I will look harder for the point of entry later. If there is one. I closed the run when I checked on the broody pen. They could have been killed before that. I remember the ducks walking into the run as I was leaving the other side. That isn't odd. Jojo wants me all the time, and will come outside if he can get through the other ducks laying around. So I remember seeing the white of the ducks. I can't remember if the cockerels (three SPR) were roosting on the pop door. They are the ones gone, and it looks like one of my blue pullets. I looked inside, and all was okay. I looked at the roof, and didn't see a gap in the wire. The only question I have, is what do I do with the bodies? Part of me wants to use them to practice processing, but the flies make me believe that is not a good idea. I don't have woods to put them in. Can I get away with double (or triple) bagging them, and putting them in the trash? And why not the turkey that roosts on the roof? She is easy to catch.

sorry

The last Cayuga hatched last night! I had 15 viable eggs to start, had 2 Buff eggs quit around 2.5 weeks. Locked down 4 Buffs and 9 Cayuga, this morning everyone is in the brooder having a blast!

MC, your chickie babies are sooo cute! And so sorry to see you lost some, that always sucks. Hope you get the turd that killed them. I got the temp gun and checked the plate. It's reading 120* with the dimmer about 3/4 up. I haven't tried it all the way up yet, but it had to be hotter than the 125* max.

Woohoo!!

I'm finally back home from my trip to panama. I can't believe how much my babies grew in 2 weeks. Lots of chickens roaming around in panama. I saw frizzles, naked necks, aracaunas!

Awesome, great pics!!

My coops all each have a separate paddock, surrounded by plastic deer fencing. The coops are predator tight to the best of my abilities, but the paddocks are a deterrent at best - they wouldn't keep a large predator out, but my property fencing does that, and each group has a rooster, and they all do their jobs to alarm and protect during the day. I close up the paddock "gate" (overlapping netting) after I lock each group up in their coops at night. For the past three nights, I have found the netting "gate" drooping open for the cockerel paddock the next morning. At first I thought I had just not secured it well (it hooks on spots on the posts). But it was very clear this morning that what is happening is something is getting in at night - it could be the water out in pans (it was really dirty this AM, so something probably messed with it), but I'm thinking that whatever it is may also be seeing if they can get at the chickens. The paddock gate for a second coop was also gaping this AM. All birds were fine, no ways for anything larger than 1/2 " to get in, but it's still a bit nerve wracking... MC, your news will have me double checking all the coops for points of weakness today. - Ant Farm

lol better to be safe than sorry and double check everything

HELP!!I just joined and I am having little to no hatching. I have a farm innovators 2250 model. Out of 41 I have only 2 hatch. This is the 3rd time I have set it. The ones that do not hatch either die during hatching or just before. The ones that don't start to hatch have not absorbed their egg yolk. I never had this issue with my Hova Bator. I did have a chicken last hatch that had a crooked toe so I do think nutrition is playing a factor as well. I am just at a loss I have never encountered this.

Did you receive an answer to your question?

I've been good, minus the fact that a coon killed 5 cockerels and 1 pullet of mine. My hatch was over about 5 weeks ago. I had 6 little black Ams hatch out. Super cute.

sorry about the coon good luck

its so easy to have that many serama and not even know it

What is the most serama you have had?

ma baby girlzzzz

Quail pic I forgot to share. Please excuse the icky parts, paper was changed after.

Tiny little fluff balls!

I think the lil one has cocci, she has the runs, I gave her dimethox and a shot of b complex and the other two as well. will do for five days. oh and the baby got a shot of goat nutridrench fingers crossed, she sure dont act sick at all !!! so thats a good sign

poor little goatie

Mabe yall can help. Do ï add them or not?????? Never incubated before. So my daughter lost her pet hen a few weeks ago and we did a emergency incubation. On July 14th with the last egg she hatched that day. Well ï started reading on this website and found out you...sorry if made a extra lockdown incubator that is more stable

Huh? Did u get answers?

From the sounds of it I need you to be my neighbor

You would be the encouragement I need to get up and get stuff done.. I haven't got much done but got some wood for coop. And would have gotten farther if my dads tires hadn't started smoking!!!!! So truck is out of order ugh! But I think you would be my bestest friend @MothercycleChick

That stinks about the truck

wasn't that interesting...... I was just assisting a stuck chick, and was nervous. So I thought "What would MC do?" And guess what! I got it out alive.

Wait u r hatching more eggs??!!?!?!

I love naked necks! And this lady that I got them from had some AMAZING looking birds! Here are some of her flock:

Also, most of her birds carry the buff barring gene and the blue egg gene!

I could almost own some of those non, almost
