I recently got rid of all of my chickens except one old hen and one turkey hen because the fleas were torturing ME! I treated my chickens several times and the fleas would come back. Finally I got rid of the chickens, except Loretta and Gravy. I haven't seen fleas for quite a while and I'm...

I had 39 eggs in my hovabator. I think 3 are no good. 35 have hatched and the last one doesn't even have a pip. There is a live chick in it. I want to do something! Has anyone ever pip-started an egg?

I found a hen 5 or 6 days ago, acting like her foot or leg was broken. Flopping around on the ground, She was trying to walk on it upside down with the toes facing backward. She would lay with her whole leg stretched behind her. I taped the foot in the correct position and put her in a small...

I found a nest of 9 duck eggs today in the chicken house. They're in the corner behind a laying box. Do you think the duck will set on them? Are ducks good setters?

I have young hens (chickens and ducks) and have gathered some eggs that I thought were chicken, but when I washed them they felt very slick. Much different than the rest of the eggs. They are almost white, and I expected the duck eggs to be blue, and the chicken eggs to be brown????? They are...

My duck egg has been pipped for over 24 hours now. It's alive, I can hear it but no progress on cracking the egg. Should I help it?

Today's the day! Day 21 and so far six out of fifteen have hatched! They are all black so far. 4 BR and a BCM/BR and a green egg/BR. Not sure what to call the last one. More to come. I'm so excited every time, it never gets old or ordinary to me!

This is a real BR Rooster isn't it?

If a Bantam Hen has an egg fertilized by a full size rooster, can the chick be too big for the egg?

My turkey lays a lot of eggs. I've read they don't, but she does. The problem is I noticed it looks like her egg vent (or something down there) is a bloody mess. Too many eggs? Too big eggs? Is this common? Poor Turkey. :(

Ok, here are pictures of what I think is a BR Rooster. What do you think? He doesn't look like his father.

I installed a fan in my hovabator. I have it blowing up to circulate air instead of down to blow directly on the eggs. Is this the right way?

I thought my turkey was a Tom. But either I have a super chicken or he's laying eggs. What do you think?

I have a really cute little bantam rooster. He looks like a barred rock, but only has single ruffled comb on top, no wattle, bearded and long tail feathers. Any idea what kind he is, or mixed? I'd like to sell him with the bantam hen I have that also looks like barred rock with feathered...

I have a black copper marans rooster and BR hens. Will chicks be sexlinks?

Hi! I read a post that said someone had 36 chickens that ate 50 lb. of feed in 10 days. My chickens eat 3 times that much! 35 +- chickens, 8 young guineas and 1 turkey go through 3 bags of food in 10 days. And they come running when they see me coming in the golf cart. They are ready to...

I have a red rooster, rumpless and bearded. If I breed him with a RR hen, will I get rumpless chicks? Don't really want any but he's a nice big rooster and the only red one I have.

I have four young roosters. Can anyone tell me what breed they are?

I ordered a variety of different kinds of eggs. Don't know which this is. Anyone know?

Good Morning! I have a broody hen that has been setting on an infertile egg for a couple of weeks! Can I give her some guinea keets that I hatched in the incubator? Sounds silly, but I feel sorry for her. All that setting for nothing! :(
