Exactly the same thing here. We use pavers and rocks mostly to weigh it down.

I don't think it's just there. I'm in Wisconsin and ship hatching eggs out and in and this year thus far has been horrendous in the number of days Priority mail gets them delivered. Sometimes it's been a week, and sometimes we could see via tracking they sat in some distribution center for...

For your latter ones, there are three links to eggs on this site I'd look on eBay for the first ones.

I breed silkies and it just so happens they are sex-linked due to the colors I chose, but I don't advertise it as I'd sell all the pullets and be stuck with all of the roosters. Here's where I get most of my info...

We use RV water freshener in our 5-gallon DYI nipple bucket as before that, the water would get green stringy things on top after a couple of weeks. This bucket lasts about a month and now it's never slimy and never anything growing in it. We use 1/2 teaspoon, but you'd have to do the math for...

Aha, I missed it. Isn't that every day of the year though? :gig

Great article ensuring we know our non-stick cookware may not be labeled Teflon, but quite possibly still is. Having parrots for over 20 years, I know it's a well-known fact that Teflon can kill or cause damage to them. Your article would be much better if you could cite a couple of these...

I'm all for anything to kill those pesky buggers! I think a "puddle" needs to be explained though as putting bleach in a puddle where frogs, chickens, etc., are wouldn't be healthy. I presume you're talking about a puddle in a driveway after a rain? I also agree, cite some sources for your...

A rather ingenious idea that is very helpful and explained well.

This is thorough and helpful, but needs photos to show what a prolapsed cloaca looks like and progression of improvement. You could also add an itemized list somewhere to make it easier for someone who may need to purchase the things needed, such as vaseline, Epsom salts, etc. If you have...

Good explanation of how-to and helpful pictures. We have several nipple buckets and bottles but I can see how a thermal one would be beneficial, especially in the summer.

Day 24 as mentioned on your other post. It pipped and hatched on the 24th day.

The broody poop is usually after a couple of days of being broody. They won't always get out of the nest every single day but most do. I would just monitor it to be sure you see her getting out of the nest to eat/drink once in a while. They usually do this all within a few minutes, then back...

I'd be sure they are on a good layer or all-flock feed with very little corn/scratch so they get more nutrients from their feed. I'd also put Poultry Cell vitamins in their water every other day for a couple of weeks and see if this helps. Good luck!

There isn't much online specifically stating chickens can eat it just fine, but our chickens (silkies who aren't the brightest chickens in the world) dig around in the cow and/or horse manure we put in the garden and that can't be any worse. Milorganite is all natural and safe for wild birds...

I would say gray but perhaps could go more buff? Gorgeous! You could try post this in the goose forum to get more ideas.

They are so gorgeous! Please tag me when you post updated pictures. I can't wait to see!!

It could be vitamin deficiency too. If you have some Poultry Cell or other type of complete vitamin for their water or food, etc., or specifically Vitamin A. Most of us don't have that just lying around though but you could find that at any convenience/drug store.

Hiya, April, and welcome to BYC!! :frow That's a beautiful chicken, regardless of sex.

I did. It was three days after the rest all hatched if I recall. I was pretty frustrated but then shocked when it just hatched on its own.
