Try hanging some cattle ear tags with insecticide wherever the ants are ....around or in your coop as long as it is ventilated. I had trouble with ants in my well pump asked an old timer at the local cooperative and this was his suggestion. Worked great!!!

Yes.....but how do you mean together? in the same coop? run?Yard?nest?

Count the day you place them in the incubator as 0.....lockdown at 18 and hatching should begin on the 21st day for CHICKS....best of luck day 25 lockdown...28th day hatch time. make sure incubator is maintaining temp and your humidity is accurate. From my experience hatching ducklings it...

i have never experienced this before, although a mouse would be the only vermen that could trick momma hen. She may have thought that her chick was hatching until she sensed something else was in her clutch. And moving around under her that was not her offspring. Thats great. I advise...

Will a turkey hen leave her nest while sitting? Ive heard they will almost starAve and dehydrate themselves staying on the nest til their eggs hatch? Is this true? Will they leave the nest if extremely disturbed? Of will they die defending their eggs? And how long can a hen be off her nest...
