    Black Sex Link

    I’m thinking of getting one. I know they are a cross between a barred hen and a Rhode Island rooster. Males have a white spot on the head. What are some of the personality traits? Do the hens alert the flock of danger or protect them? Do they have a tendency to go broody? Do they do good in hot...

    Hatching Eggs

    I want to hatch eggs for showing birds this year. Last year I put 42 eggs in the incubator, got out about twelve chicks. I did an eggtopsy afterwards and found 15 chicks still in the eggs, fully developed. I later found out this had to do with humidity. I've got a couple questions. 1. How do I...

    Sand as Coop Litter

    Much debate about sand versus pine shavings. I'm pretty set on sand after reading about it. My questions are; for those of you who use sand as coop litter, do you prefer to have it hauled in by the truckload from your local supplier or have you found it easier/better to use bagged? And I've seen...

    Single Duckling

    I have a single duckling (a few days old), who has completely attached herself to me. I have no problem taking her places with me, but was wondering if that’s safe/how to do that safely. Also, how should I deal with her at night? She doesn’t like being in the temprature controlled, duckproof box...

    Mareks disease questions

    hello everyone! A couple months ago my one of my chickens became ill, and since then I’ve lost around 5 more, and I’m quite positive that Mareks was the cause. I have some guinea fowl who laid some eggs, and I hatched four babies from them. How dangerous is it to sell a couple keets to someone...

    Heat Lamp Questions

    My chicks are getting too old to be in the house anymore, and too big to be in the brooder that they are in now. I have a bigger brooder in the barn, and I'm planning on putting two heat lamps because it's going to get really cold (about 0 Degrees F) and the chicks are 3 and 4 weeks old. Any advice?

    What breed is my dog?

    I’ve had my dog for roughly 7 years now and I always wondered what breed he was, He was given to us cause his previous owner was moving and they didn’t allow large dogs. We were told he was an Australian shepherd but I don’t think so to me he seemed to be a mix of a great pyre and Aussie. But...
