@CluckNDoodle I think you had experience with the Nurture Right 360’s. Did you find that your eggs hatched earlier than the planned hatch date?? I have noticed that my nurture right always does great, but the eggs hatch earlier than expected and planned. It always catches me off guard and I have...

Hello all! First of all I can’t post a video, but I can provide pictures! I noticed she was hobbling around today using her wings and such to help her balance. I picked her up and examined her only to find nothing looks wrong outwardly but her left leg seems loose and lax like she can’t use it...

So I put one of my calico frizzle bantams in my wooden brooder due to a bad peck wound. As life would go she thought it was time to settle down and build a family. I was a little concerned Because this was only her first year laying eggs much less incubating them. I only let my broodies brood if...

Hello all! I have read that nipple waterers are the way to go, and I have a bunch of chicks that are due to hatch next week, and I’ve raised several several batches of chicks and I’m tired of the shaving filled waterers that the little devils love to fill. That has always been a problem. Once...

I want to surprise my sister, and as some of you guys know my parents wouldn’t let us have ducks for a while, but now since my sister loves them so much, they have given me the ok for at least two ducks. I have two options, hatch our own, or buy already hatched ducklings. I would prefer to...

I don’t want any opinions on what I messed up or got wrong, all I want is for all of y’all to enjoy reading my story. Intro: I have experienced a few crazy awesome experiences, and one of these includes raising our baby squirrel, Ricky. She is quite an incredible animal, and I would protect...

So my Grandmother has noticed in the past few days a change of attitude in her dog, keep in mind this dog is incredibly overweight and I have tried to get my Grandmother to monitor her food and exercise her, but my Grandmother spoils her very much. According to my grandmother for the past few...

Will a rabbit water container work for a pigeon? And do they perch or roost on roosts like chickens? I have never had a pigeon but I found a racing one yesterday and we found the owner. But until they can figure out how to get the bird back they asked us to take care of it. What do they eat? We...

One of my baby bantams has just had a seizure type thing, it is dripping clear whitish slimy stuff out of its butt and I think it is dead now... when I discovered it, it was still acting alive but it was cold and stiff but it was still blinking it’s eyes and moving it’s beak. Now it’s doing...

I think it’s called avian pox, do you guys have some info or a forum that would help enlighten me on this subject? I think some of my chickens might have the sickness. I’ll post pics a little later.

So when we cracked one of our eggs this morning we found something quite shocking. It was a hard black knot, when we cut it open it was very tough and kinda fibrous or something like that. Anyway we usually get double yolks, and eggs with another egg inside,(it only happened once btw) not a yolk...

This is my third time incubating eggs and for some reason this has been the worst hatch! Out of twelve eggs only four hatched and two were malpositioned, I guess, I'll post pics of them even though they have already hatched. When the last chick externally pipped he/she busted alot of veins...

So I took chance in April and got ten goose eggs to incubate. Seven out of ten hatched but only six survived. With all the precautions with geese I figured chicken eggs would be a breeze... now I know there is just as many protocols with chickens as there is geese. What started with nine eggs...

So I went to candle my eggs today and realized that the broody had accidentally cracked one of her eggs. I was wondering if this would be a problem because I was letting her get them good and started then I was going to move them to the incubator to finish the process. Now I'm wondering if...

I want to start incubating our eggs but I cant tell if these eggs are fertile or not! What do I look for? And should I wash them before starting the process? I've had ten eggs under one of our broody hens, and she alternates between sitting on them and the ones in the other boxes. My plan was...

Ok so I'm new here, and new at being a goose mother. I've looked up so much goose related things it's crazy! Anyway we recently got ten canadian goose eggs, only one was infertile and we have had two die. Since me and my sister have taken the most care and precaution and poured our attention and...

Do any of yall have any remedies for the gnats in your henhouses? We have terrible gnat problems, and we think it might have caused several of our hen's deaths. :barnie

Hello! Me and my family have a mini farm the only thing we are missing is a cow.😂 We recently got 10 goose eggs and started incubating them, 6 of the eggs were wayyy ahead of the others and they hatched last week so I recently have become a Mother Goose so to speak.😂 We also have a huge flock of...
