    Naked Neck/Turken x Polish project (year 2) questions?

    DIY trigger feeder instructions. Eliminate waste feed and rodents. All size buckets/tubs.

    I am coming up to a week long vacation, and while I LOVE my man I'm not sure he's too tickled about feeding the flock while I am away. I had a HUGE problem with rodents (and a wonderful Possum) this summer in my coop (and them under my house) and this combined with my use of Agrid3...

    Agressive chick?

    I have a 9 week old chick I ended up letting mom hen raise. I have been trying to handle regularly. I had both momma hen and baby in a grow out brooder because she ended up getting off her remaining eggs early and lost one of her chicks (literally). I have been letting them out supervized and...

    Chicks outside in grow out pen---Temp and advice?

    I just fixed up my grow out pen for the new season:: It's actually been reinforced for predators this year (photo from last year) Question is---My chicks are FULLY feathered at 7 weeks old. They are HUGE (and I mean twice the size I am used to at this age) I don't know if the...

    Caught an Possum. Killed a chook and eating eggs/chicken food. What to do?

    I lost a chook last night, almost 4 months old. Was not sure what got it, and I swear my hen house is secure. I guess not as much as I thought. I had previously run off one possum IN my hen house and then repaired what I thought were the entry areas about a month ago. This morning I found...

    ID on this Ameraucana--want this color again! Blue with red edging.

    I know the rooster was a blue. Is this just blue over red? Unfortunatly I purchase as a hen... not a "HEN" anymore hahaha. I didn't question it, the big legs should have given it away. I'd like some hens---but I want to know what to do to get this color again because I LOVE it. Great...

    What to do and how to clean feathers/skins?

    So I processed roosters for the first time today and I plucked 2, but after realizing I don't have the scald water a proper temp or really know what I'm doing with it (and running back and fourth to the house) I decided it would be easier to skin them. Well---I'm crafty by nature and have a few...

    Jersey Giant chicks, feathered legs?

    Seems a bit odd, but I just noticed some of my chick that are still drying off in the incubator have feathers on their legs. I ordered these eggs from ebay. It seems like the mostly black ones have this, the others don't seem to. I ordered these as pure JG, but I'm pretty sure they shouldn't...

    Buying a second incubator upgrade, which ones are the best?

    I started out with a standard Hovabator (no fan, w/turner) and I love it, but I feel after hatching 3 sucessful clutches, I need to upgrade. I'm looking for a mid range incubator nothing HUGE. I don't need a cabinet style, something small. I may do at max 25 eggs if that. I am looking for...

    Day 9 candle, air cells still detached. Should I worry?

    Doing just as I have with previous hatches. Semi dry incubation ( keeping around 35%--dipped to 16% at one point around day 4, I got worried and added water). I let them rest 24 hours before putting them in the incubator and then waited another 24 before starting the turner. Temp between 99 and...

    Black spot in egg blood spot? Before setting...

    I noticed one of my shipped eggs had a black spot in it very close to the actual shell. It looks like a blood spot maybe? I set it anyway and we are at day 4---seems to be growing veins. All of my shipped eggs had crazy scrambled air cells so I followed instructions on alleviating that. I also...

    Producers Pride Cracked Corn Issues? Mine has pellets in it?!?!

    I just bought a bag from my local TSC. When I got it home and opened it I noticed after I dumped it in my storage feed bin (of course) that it was neither cracked (whole kernels) and also had some sort of pellet mixed in. It says Cracked Corn on the bag. I'm not feeding it to the flock, and I...

    I'm just not having any luck! Coyote Attack. Neighbors chickens too.

    I came home today about 3:00 to find 1 dead rooster and 3 dead hens (one of which was not mine). When I got out of my car I spied a coyote running away through field. I have one hen not accounted for, I couldn't find the body. I have one hen INSIDE the house under a light but she is gasping and...

    Oops I did it again, I just set more eggs

    I'm bad. I just got my chicks out of the brooder and into my spare bathroom and now I decided I would try to hatch a few of my own eggs from my Naked Neck hens x Barred rocks. And barred rocks. And a few I didn't know heh. I guess that will be a surprise!! I fail at not hatching in the winter.

    Sick 3 week old naked neck

    Everyone was doing fine last night, I fed mealies and a treat of canned green peas. I have been giving chick grit. She is lethargic and shivering. I have 10 chicks in the brooder including her and they do seem to trample each other from time to time. I have separated her under her own heat lamp...

    Coryza possibility,Roadkill smell and clear nasal discharge Sinus inf?

    I was an idiot and bought 2 hens yesterday. They looked healthy, no nasal discharge-eyes clear. Tonight---one has clear nasal discharge/rattly breathing and smells like well...roadkill. Is the the beginning of coryza? They have already contacted the other flock via me walking more than likely...
