I am thinking of buying an outdoor wood furnace before winter this year but was looking for any information anyone has on them. I have read a lot of websites and they all claim to have the best one but I was hoping some of my friends on here might have one and give me some honest help in buying...

I just want to vent for a minute and please do not get angry with me But I am really getting frustrated with this forum. If someone post something completely non chicken related it gets hundreds of replies. But when I ask a real question a lot of times I am lucky to get 1 or 2 replies. It seems...

I have a rooster that has had his neck pecked to the point it started bleeding yesterday. I need some help as to what I can put on his neck to heal it and to stop the picking from the hens. I have read on hear that pine tar works. Is this what I should try or is there something that would work...

I bought an LG egg turner 2 weeks ago and for the last cuople of days it keeps getting stuck on one side. Has anyone else experienced this and if so is there a way to fix it. I currently have 20 eggs in the bator.

Do you think 5 1/2 weeks is old enoungh to put chicks in a barn with a heat lamp even though the night temps outside are still in the teens?

I have 6 chicks that are rapidly outgrowing the rubbermaid container they are in. They are, 2 weeks old, last year I only had a few so there was more room. They have all started feathering out and have been jumping up on the edge of the container. I was wondering how early I could put them out...

I hatched some 6 chicks out last Friday. One of my eggs was from my White leghorn. Needless to say it was not what I expected I was expecting it to look like a red sex-link but when it hatched it looks almost black but it really is mostly dark rust colored. So I was curious as to what this chick...

Please post some of you pics of your mixed breed chicks and what they are mixed with.

Well I placed my first 6 eggs in the incubator on Jan 3rd. Yesterday all 6 hatched day 20 I guess. I was a little shocked to see a black chick coming out of my white leghorns egg but then again the daddy is a Rhode Island Red I am curious what it will look like when it gets older. Has anyone...

I have 6 eggs in the bator right now and they are on day 12. I have one white egg which I can still see pretty good but the rest are brown and I am having a hard time seeing anything in them, at 6 days they were all developing nicely. So at what day does it get hard to see anything or have some...

I have 6 eggs in a LG 9200 I placed them in there on the 3rd so I guess they have been in there 10 days. I candled them at 6 days and everything looked fine saw veins and a black dot moving around. Today I candled them and a few of them seem very dark and I really cant see anything have these...

I was curious if a wild bird suet cake would be ok to give the chickens. Only when the temps get really cold. I know that wild birds eat it for the extra calories to help stay warm in the winter. I was wondering if the same would apply to the chickens or is it just to much fat for their systems.

This maybe a silly question but I was wondering why eggs are stood up when we humans incubate but in nature the hen sits on them laying on there side? I am assuming it has something to do with the air sac but was just curious.

I was wondering if I need to put some sort of dust box in the coop for the winter months. And if so what dimensions work best? And what do you put in it sand, dirt, ashes, DE or something else?

I have searched the forums and have been unable to find any information on a good pellet feed available near Kalamazoo MI. I have tried Heinold, Dumor, and Layena and am tired of buying them and getting mostly powder in the bags. So I thought this would be a great place to ask what others are...
