Not if your wife has anything to do with it.... LOL

Nah I told her I have to hatch or buy some more to replace mine when they slow down laying. She doesn't know when that'll be. LOL

Hey guys I need help quick. I am having problems with foxes and coyotes, Does anyone have a gun they will sell cheap?
even a .22 will work.
I have lost almost all my silkies, several wyandottes, and two baby turkeys
I can trade with maybe cash, 2 slw hens, 2 bantam wyandotte hens, a slw and a blrw, and one splash blrw hen..

Have you tried a pawn shop ? Or guns and leather. Last time I wad there I saw a 4-10 for about 75.00 hope this helps.

My broody hen came through! She hatched 9 out of the 11 eggs I put under her. I candled the two unhatched eggs awhile ago, and neither looked like they'd ever developed at all. So I tossed them. There are 2 yellow chicks, 2 grey/blue, 1 black and 4 chipmunk stripes. They should all be Easter Eggers - the eggs came from my EEs and Araucana hens - and one egg came from a Welsummer - and the three roos in that pen were two EEs and one Araucana. Here's the video of Onyx taking the babies out of the nest box for the first time - and Onyx and busy dust-bathing in the pine shavings.

I love how chicks are like small children. Mom is trying to take a bath and they are all standing next to her going "Mom? Mom? Mom? Mom! Mommommommommommommommommom....."
Silly little chickens.

Yeah! That is great hatch! I still didn't get to break up my broodies with chicks today......

I lost a keet today

they broke out of the brooder and were all lose in the nursery room and when I opened to door..... she made a bee line to the trees..... We could not find her

I found one in a mouse trap.... she is fine surprisingly

Needless to say.... I put a better lock on that brooder door

Odd way to lose a chick huh?

Someone just called me looking for a Female Rueon? Duck. She said it was like a mallard but flightless. I know NOTHING about Ducks so if someone can direct me to someone that could help her Donald Duck find a new Daisy

She can order a duckling and raise it but she wants Donald to have a grown girl if she can find one.

Ok so my son came in and told me that one of my layers was dead.... just in the yard dead. That is 4 this week!! My little white mystery Bantam was picked up by a dog yesterday...sigh

Anyhow.. he said that there was no evidence of a fight or anything, but that he butt was red and bloody... any ideas what that could have been?

Thanks
