Got 3 RIR hens tonight along with 4 Khaki Campbells. All of them appear in good health, i checked for mites on the hens and didn't find any, no scaley leg mites either. I found a bulging vent on one of the hens and i could see some poo in the vent. All three of the hens have dirty bottoms but...

Sorry the photo isn't better. My Polish hatched out 6 chicks so far 2 to go. A few Polish and a few Copper Marans. I had to move her and 3 chicks plus the eggs to a more secure spot as the Delaware who was in the box next to her had a unfortunate accident? She easily removed herself from the...

Hi, i planted peas in a single row and need some advice on how to tie them up. Any ideas with materials every gardener has on hand would be great. I never plant peas but my grandson loves them. Should i do the same with my beans? Again i single rowed them. Next year i will get my act together...

Hello, We have had Muscovy's for about 2 years. Presently we have 3 sitting on clutches of eggs. "Mama" is sitting on 7, "Angel" (with an angel wing) is sitting on 3 presently, "Choco-Lot" is sitting on 17! Choco-Lot decided to lay her eggs in a metal nesting box in the barn where a few of my...

I have a Muscovy who decided to lay her eggs inside the barn in a metal chicken nesting box, she is normally outside in a pen with a pool but is allowed to free range too. Choco-Lot is still laying her clutch right now she has 7 eggs in the box, while she is out eating or swimming my polish...

I have 2 chicks that are 2 days old who can not stand. Will this correct itself or should I dispose of the chicks? Can someone please tell me the best way to do this? I think the chicks might have got too cold. I have corrected that situation. Makes me sad that this was most likely due to my...

This morning I have my first chick! Humidity was 80% when I go up. Do I remove the caps to keep the humidity down to 65%? Also will my chicks dry if the caps are still on? 10 more are pipping! I don't know if they can drown if the humidity is too high. Thanks

I purchased the Farm Innovators 2100 Incubator and an egg turner yesterday. I purchased a Thermometer and Hydrometer from Pet Co. My display on incubator reads 90 degrees. My inside thermometer reads 105. What temperature should I go with inside or display? FYI I have had it running about 12...

One of my barnyard mixes went broody about 4 days ago, unfortunately she is a rescued hen and is not as sweet or trusting as the rest of my flock. I was surprised to find that she is setting on 14 eggs, most likely more since she appears to take every egg she can out of the adjacent nesting...

Well I am extremely grossed out. I boiled a coupled dozen eggs today. I noticed immediately that one was floating. When I got done boiling this is what I seen. Is it worms? 2 eggs did crack while boiling and you know how the white will come out of the crack. I eat my eggs everyday and have...

Hi, I'm no stranger to roosters and for the most part can identify them before they crow but I am stumped. I have a hen who hatched out 10 chicks last spring, she is a Barred Rock mix and on the large side. There are 3 possible roosters, all 3 have different combs which is not unusual due to...

Hi, I bought this girl from an auction the lady told me the breed but I know she didn't say Delaware. I looked her up and Delaware is what I come up with. What do you think? Thank you

Hi, I am looking for any information on the spray form for leg mites and where I can buy it from, oh and the actual name of the product. I know all about the other various ways to deal with mites but wanted to know if anyone has tried the spray and what the outcome was. I sincerely appreciate...

These are from a Hatchery and RIR chicks were ordered, I just read a post about RIR chicks saying they do not have any white in them they are most likely production reds. Did the hatchery make an error or was this member I'll informed? Thanks for the feedback and FYI I will love them regardless...

Meet a few of my goats M&M on the bottom of the ramp, Kylaja on the ramp, and Harley, all 3 are pygmy goats. M&M is a fainter and until I got 2 new babies he was very naughty always ramming me and bruising me up, now he is much better. This is Harley with her new baby boy. We were hoping for a...

I have never had a broody hen before and out of the Polish hens I rescued one seems to be broody. She makes all kinds of noise and puffs up when I remove the eggs out of the nesting box. I took some eggs and marked them with a marker to give her a trial run to see if she is really committed. I...

She is small and is amazingly loud, I think she lays a while egg as well. We also have 2 more similar to this but one is black and the other gray and black. Thank you for helping me out. :)

Hello, I have lots of pictures to share! The first ones are of my Silkies, I know that it is hard to sex a Silkie but I did notice a few differences between my two. I notice the black one has a beard and If he/she is standing just right I think I can see a bit of green plumage, so that makes me...

Hi, I bought 5 polish hens today, 7.00 a piece btw they are laying and one is broody. The girls have never been outside, no Windows, no ventilation, the inside of the coop was not in bad repair but the overwhelming smell of ammonia was more than I could handle (I have over 50 chickens and my...
