I have eggs in the bator due to hatch Wednesday. I have two hens that went broody this week. Should I put the eggs under the broodies? Will their instinct be screwed up if chicks hatch less than 3 days after they start brooding eggs?

We had to put down a barred rock pullet (6 1/2 months old) last week. She had been getting progressively lamer. She started out kinda squat-walking - belly getting lower and lower, tail pointed down. At first I couldn't tell anything was wrong with her because she'd walk normally for a bit -...

We have a beautiful flock of Swedish Flower Hens. We have 5 hens and 1 rooster. Each one is a different color/pattern. The rooster and two of the hens are crested. So there's a good chance you'll get some crested chicks. We always send extra eggs - depending on how well the hens lay that...

I know hand warmers get hot - but if I put one under the bedding material in the shipping box so the chicks would not touch it directly - maybe put an extra layer of the bedding materials - would it work? I need to ship chicks tomorrow - but the weather has turned cold. I could order some of...

My little granddaughter, Lily, went through over 2 years of daily chemo - lots of spinal chemo and IV chemo in her battle against leukemia. She finished treatment in February 2011 and has been doing so well. She's 11 years old now. At her last checkup, her blood counts were low - and so the...

I've read about blood spots and meat spots. I've done a BYC search to find more information, but I haven't found anything like this. My Jersey Giant's eggs don't have what is typically considered a blood spot. Her eggs almost always have spots and/or specks in them. Sometimes it's several...

I went into the run awhile ago to get an egg that a hen had laid on the ground, and our dominant EE rooster attacked me! I saw him coming, and I kicked him. He regrouped and came at me again - I'd kick - and he'd charge at me again - I kept kicking him each time as I backed towards the door...

I've got six extra cockerels. They're beautiful - would be great for your breeding program. Two Swedish Flower Hen roos - both hatched January 1, 2012. One is crested - the other one isn't. The Araucana is a rumpless - no tufts. Hatched December 1, 2011. The three EEs are varied - solid...

I need to add to my layer flock. I'm looking for 3 - 5 pullets, as close to point of lay as possible - but at least 3 months old. I'd prefer a couple blue/green egg layers and a couple of brown and/or white egg layers. I can drive within an hour of Nashville to pick them up. I just got...

I'd like some opinions about the two EEs in the forefront of this photo. They hatched on February 9th - so they're 12 weeks old. I'm 99% certain of what they are - just want to be absolutely sure before I put them on Craigslist.

My flock will go through NPIP testing this weekend. Was just wondering what to expect. Anything I should do to prepare for the visit? Any information would be appreciated.

I bought a dehydrator a few weeks ago. My plan was to use it mostly for drying my herbs since my herb garden is overflowing. However, last night, I had a lot of fresh strawberries - and I ended up making strawberry leather, plus I dried some sliced strawberries, sliced bananas, apples and...
