    Fence height

    Thanks for all the (interesting) replies to my question, 'Fence height'. Two more chickens got killed since my first post, I just finished eating the last one. Anyway, we did manage to negotiate after being dissuaded by my wife from spending money on a fence. Result: it flies over the fence...

    Remote rural village in Thailand. Main problems : snakes stealing eggs and bird flu every few years, which doesn't happen officially.

    Fence height

    Fence height

According to local by laws, I have to pay a fine, which I find most unfair. Anyway, I am going to build a fence...

    Turning eggs

    Thanks. I just put them in the box today. We started removing the eggs from this bird because she decided to nest in a place where cats can get at her eggs. They were at room temperature ( 24 to 34 °C) for a week before that. Maybe I should have put them in the incubator straight away.

    Turning eggs

    I read that eggs in an incubator need turning 3 - 5 times a day. I generally could do this but I want to go on holiday next week and am wondering if I can get away with just leaving the incubator turned on for a week. Neighbours here in Thailand tell me that they certainly don't turn their eggs...

    Disease diagnosis

    Yes I know that bio-security is the most important part of raising chickens, but I am having difficulty deciding what disease nearly wiped out our flock. I am doing my best with the chicken yard. What I need is a simple check list, this symptom present, yes or no ... go to question so and so...

    Hi. I have been secretly absorbing information from these forums for some time and have decided to become a member. Living in Thailand, things are very different, we don't get veterinary warnings, that happens by word of mouth if you're lucky (Neighbour lost all his expensive, prize fighting...
