I recently tried hatching eggs with a broody hen. This was my first try, and I had a local friend here in NC help me and got the eggs from her. After second batch didn't hatch after 5 weeks I gave up. one was completely grown in the shell but i guess couldn't pip. The other i think wasn't...

Very helpful!! My 4 day old EE chick from Meyer Hatchery is bright yellow! Was just wondering what she would look like! thanks

I just found my 2 hr old hen dead, on her back in the corner of the coop. She was below the roost outside the nesting boxes. I didn't know how to tell if her neck was broken bit it was wobbly when I checked it. She ate and laid yesterday! She showed no ill signs, healthy bright red...

I used the Spinodad!! I'm a Nurse so very freaked out about getting the dosage correct, (haha). But I got a kids little cough medicine measure and did exactly 9 ml in a gallon on warmish water. PS A SYRINGE DOES NOT WORK AS THE CONCENTRATE IS VERY THICK!! I cleared the whole coop out...

Awesome article! Building an outdoor run right now! Thanks!!

Just got my first egg from one of my four Ameraucana "females"!! The sweetest little teal egg! They are 23 weeks old, and I still can't tell if I have a Roo. Ordered 4 females, but realize there is at least a 25% chance I have one. I have my suspicions which one it is. But very excited...

That is exactly what I do with my little flock of 7. I go out in the evening aout 14-30 min before the auto door is to close, and sit with them, pet them and watch them go to roost. Sometimes they don't all want to come in before the door actually closes, so I take a tiny bit of scratch of...

Pretty sure I have 1 Roo in my little brood of 4 "hens" I ordered. Always quoted a 25% fall out rate. I love them all. They are about 14 weeks now and very lovey. They follow me around. They know their manners with my other 3 adult hens (not Lavenders), and run away and don't challenge...

Have ordered boning knife. I'm done with Ms nice Gal. If knocking him across the coop another time or two doesn't work (had to 3 times last night). He's heading out Tuesday evening after he goes to roost. I don't want to have to do this, but if it happens again I have to. I also have...

I got Tin so that I could shake it loudly and he will hear it all the way from the house to the barn, It is smallish at 2.5 qts. Link below https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B5QW1H8/?tag=backy-20 It's 7.25 x 7.25 x 5 in

Wow awesome feedback thank you! Well my Tin feed pail is on the way! Thanks to Amazon since Nothing is close to me! I will continue to try and do the tidbit thing, but also to get him to "fall in love" with my new feed pail and it's "hear comes food" song!

Here's the big Boy in Person!!!

Semi-Retired in WNC!

Nina, where are you located? I am above AVL and have just received 4 Lav Ameraucana chicks from Cackle Hatchery! They are a week old and will post photo here. I also have a big boy B/Splash Ameraucana Rooster and if crossed with EE'ers the blue gene is dominant so would possible get blue...

Boy in that last one I can even tell he's a Roo, but before that I would not be able to tell. Of course I am new to the Lav A's!!!

Hey FuzzyButtsFarm, another "semi" retired nurse here trying to raise my new 4 Lav. Ameraucana chicks! I have been on "Weird Rooster Behaviour" trying to get help on my VERY aggressive B/S Amercaucana Roo. Boy is he a handful! I am getting some great help on that thread. But would also...

I will try using something small and noisy to feed them. Haven't done that. He hates it when I go to put the food into their bowl!!! maybe if shaking it helps! I'll let you know, thanks!
