I just hatched a barnyard mix chick (dad is a Easter egger, mom is a Australorp x Cuckoo Bluebar cross) that appears to have one eyeball bulging out of the socket. To my untrained eye this looks like it may be due to skull deformity as opposed to trauma. The right eye (the one that is...
Looking for the equipment to keep the predators away from my "slightly-less-than-free" range flock. Hoping to find a solar powered outfit. Would need to ship unless you are in Eastern NY or Vermont.
Thanks!
Hi! I am warming up my incubator (Nurture Right 360) for my first attempt at hatching eggs. These eggs were shipped, and I would really like to maximize my chances of a successful hatch. The eggs are currently resting (going into the incubator tomorrow). I have the incubator all warmed up, and I...

Hi! I am new to raising chickens, and I am in the process of setting up my first coop enclosure. I live in upstate NY, where temperatures are regularly below freezing this time of year. I am planning to move a half dozen ~7 month old cold hardy pullets into a small enclosed wooden coop with an...
