Well my egg production has really slowed down with the shorter days and cooler days, but now I have 4 hens that want to hatch eggs!! Why do they start going broody this time of year? I wanted to hatch during the summer and I had a few go broody on me. I successfully had a hen hatch 2 out of...

Can chickens get ring worm, and if they do how do you treat it? I think I have it and I've not been around any one with it nor have I been around any other animals except my chickens, but i really don't handle them except for my 2 silkies, I pick them up once in a while, but they look fine...

My broody silky has sat 23 days and still no chicks. It has been pretty hot here as every where, and I was wondering if maybe the eggs cooked. could that happen with a broody sitting on them. How much more time should I give her before I crack them open?

Wow!! I just read about making Zucchini milk over at chickens in the road, http://chickensintheroad.com/farm-bell-recipes/another-kind-of-milk/#respond Just when I thought there was nothing new to do with zucchini !! has any one tried doing this? Sounds interesting, so I googled it and there...

i have been letting my 2 flocks out together for about a month now. They have a few squabbles now and then, but my rooster, Sasquatch dives between the hens and puts a stop to any unrulliness.He will do this with his own hens or a mix of the 2 flocks, and soon peace is restored. Last night...

I want to make some grilled chicken on my gas grill. I always over cook it or under cook it, so was wondering how other people do theirs. Do you marinate , add sauce and what other tricks do you use to make it juicy and tender?

Take a look at these :ep Last night I decided to try and color my eggs. I have no chickens that lay white eggs and my chickens are laying plenty right now , so I didn't want to buy any just to color. I couldn't believe how pretty they turned out. Most were shades of tan and biege, some were...

I have a BLRW rooster in with my mixed flock. If I hatch eggs from my Dom hen would they be sex link and which would be which?

On March 7, I put 12 eggs into my incCube incubator. not having had any luck with this incubator before I had decided to try it again. Well now I have a BO that has decided to go broody. Would it be ok to transfer the 12 eggs in my bator to under her? I'm thinking they may have a better chance.

I was one of the people that purchased the incCube and after trying unsuccessfully to hatch 3 times gave it up. I now have some eggs I would like to try again, and was hoping that the people who had success could tell me what they did to make it happen. I'm not sure if I am adding too much...

This past fall I butchered 4 roosters total. Two were 4 mths and the other 2 were 5 mths old. First ones were BO, and the other 2 were BLRW. They all have been very bland tasting, and the BLRW were more chewy but not tough, just basically tasteless. Has any one else had this experience? I...

Current TV is having an all day show of raising, killing and cooking your own animals if any one is interested.

I have a 5 mth EE rooster who has now decided he is top roo. he was getting along fine with the silky roo but now I had to separate them as he had the silky pinned down and pecking him. My question is, he is also mating with my 2 silkys. They act like they don't like him and squak a lot when...

I bought 2 new electric waterers to use this winter. They have been working good till this morning. It was probably close to 0 overnight. When DH went to feed the chickens he found some frozen water in the bottom, said it wasn't froze solid but had to add some hot water to get it thawed. The...

Yesterday was fairly nice here so I decided to let my chickens out for a while in the evening. i always sit outside with them and watch them. I noticed my BLRW hen was acting kind of strange, although she was walking around pecking at bits of grass and bugs or what ever they pick at. She...

Just was wondering about EE genetics. Since they carry the ameracuna gene and the rest of it is what ever, if you were to inbreed for enough generations, would you eventually get birds that look like true ameracunas.?

I got a Wheaten Marans hen recently. She was in a pen with a Blue Marans roo and a wheaton roo. I was wondering what the chicks could look like if she was bred by the Blue Marans. Would this be a disaster? this is assuming the eggs she lays in the near future are fertile.

I have an opportunity to get a couple of White Marans pullets about 2-3 mths. old I've never had Marans and just wondered what other people think of them. Are they friendly, good layers, or any thing you don't like about them?

I just made a bunch of horseradish and have the peelings. Was wondering if it would be ok to throw it to the chickens or not. They say cayene pepper jump stars them into laying, thought maybe this would help too, but I don;t want to make them sick or something. Hubby says it might kill them...
