My flock has many differant age groups of chickens in it. I had to move some of the teenagers in with the adults. Now I am putting both layer pellets & starter (medicated) feed in that part of the coop. Will the hens eating the medicated starter effect the eggs in any way ? Will they still be...
I've been trying to read all about turkeys on here for the past month or so. I had three eggs in the bator, now 2 eggs and a poult. Just wanting to know if there is anything I need to do differantly during the brooder stage ? Is it just the same as raising chicks,except for the feed differances...

Mom gave me a basket of peaches yesterday & I love peach honey & the peach Marmalde that has the oranges in it . So now all I need is a recipe that is easy enough that a semi - begginer can follow. Anyone got one ?
FART EGG !!!!!!
Its mine ! All mine! My very 1st ! Went to collect the eggs, had 1 in 2 differant nests, this is all I got today out of 6 hens. Isn't that something !
I got a little 3 week old silkie mix chick a week ago at a swap. I got it just to keep a lone chick company. Today I noticed it has 6 toes on each foot. It does not have the back toe that gives them their balance. It walks kind of funny because it doesn't have a way to balance. It can't run at...

Hi, Ive got 1 dozen barnyard mix eggs I won at the swap Saturday, I thought my homemade bators would hold All the eggs I brought home. I was wrong. I have one dozen to many. Any one close to my location want them. I will let them go for FREE if you want them. I do not know what is in this mix...
Today is day 24, I just went into turn (by hand) and 1 egg is pipped (a small triangular shape out of the egg) & six more eggs are cracked ( about a 1/2 to 3/4 inch long). What is going on here???? Is this something else or are they actually hatching this early? I know for a fact that this is...
I have a lone 2 day old chick, it seems normal, chirps quite a bit but if I go hold and play with it it quiets down. Problem is it has only pooped twice in 2 days. I have seen it pecking at its food & water, not alot though. No pasty but or any thing like that. Is this a problem? Most of my...
Only one of my 9 eggs made it out alive, well 2 did but had to cull 1 earlier. So, since my other chicks are 2 & 3 weeks older than the lone ranger I'm left with, can it make it with no siblings? Right now it is sleeping in my lap on a piece of a pillow case all bundled up. Its been peeping...
I had a chick hatch today that had not fully absorbed the yolk yet. There was a little red knobby looking thing sticking out the bottom of its belly. Started out it seemed fine, but then just kept getting weaker & weaker. I tried giving it a bit of sugar water it took some but very little...
I've got a split hatch going, Built a mini fridg bator. Want to move eggs that are ready to hatch to fridge bator to use as hatcher. Can I put the eggs in a solid bottom tray? Or does it need to be screened on bottom to give them air flow still?
