    Fun frozen treats for hot chickens?

    I give mine plain watermelon and tomatoes frozen. I tried the great muffin pan idea but didn't continue (mostly because my freezer is too small) and because I find they melt quickly. The watermelon they like especially and it helps a ton

    Eggs haven’t hatched?

    yes if it's black there's a full grown chick but that doesn't mean it's alive. Try water candling in stead of regular. Since it's day 25 water candling will show better results as to weather they're alive or not

    Good small dogs for protecting flock

    I have a Rat Terrier and Jack Russel mix. She's good at protecting the chickens and she's pretty small. I don't know if it's like her breed to protect them but maybe it's just because she knows they're my babies. She even breaks up rooster fights!

    Eggs or chicks for broody hen?

    From what I've experienced and what I've seen Broodys usually turn out a lot better. the hatch rates are higher and they don't use electricity. :D They do the work for you! The only problem is they can sometimes break the eggs. How many times have you used your incubator? Did it turn out well...

    Is dairy bad for chickens?

    I'm not sure. . . but I've been doing it for years and none have died because of it so I'm assuming no. . . :confused:

    Eggs haven’t hatched?

    if it's no pips at day 25 I'd assume they're dead. try water candling or safety holing them if they're alive it's usually pretty easy to tell. If it's day 25 I wouldn't wait much longer. there have been incidents where chicks hatch 10 days late but I think it would just be easier to water...

    Bedding for babies who eat everything?

    Where do you live? How old is he? If he's old enough and it's warm outside you could just put him out on the lawn. I usually have my chicks in a crate with a heat lamp about a week after I get them. All you have to do to keep the bedding neat is move the crate every day to a clean clutch of grass
