The little bit of slit for the eyes looks like s/he will have red eyes. Does that mean anything?

Chilled. Definitely could have happened. One day when I went out to check on them almost all of mamas fur was gone. It was hot during the day on that day so I wondered if she took it out because of that. Do they ever do something like that? Anyway, when I saw that, I added a lot more hay. Darla...

They aren't quite open yet, just slits. They are 10 days old.

I have been very aloof for the last 6+/- months, not that I haven't wished I could be around more! I retired 2 weeks ago! And that took a lot of preparation at work along with other weird things happening like being scammed and then hacked. Just wanted to share my news and say I'm glad to be...

3686 The little dude in the middle is the one I'm wondering about. I posted a long explanation in the gallery so sorry if this is repetitious for some...I've never posted a pic before and I'm tech-challenged anyway! The Mama bun is chinchilla colored and the Papa is Californian marked but not...

Happy Belated Birthday Michael! I've learned a lot from you!

[album:1fyvks6i]3686[/album:1fyvks6i] This was supposed to say "Darla's Babies". I hit the enter button instead of the apostrophe, Lol. The bun in the middle of the photo looks silver. They are meat mutts and I know nothing about color. The doe - Mom is chinchilla colored and the...

I thought I read somewhere that you can rebreed right away after a miscarriage but I wasn't interested in that fact at the time. Now I can't seem to find it. She only had 3 or so that I am aware of, over 2 days. They were born on day 27 and 28. It is now day 33 with no more babies so I'm...

Best of luck to you on your efforts! Sounds like a good plan to have an artificial doe! I'm so sorry about Clover. Please let us know how it goes.

Do you think that is too far apart to have a nice - or any - litter? She had 12 last time. And my first timer had 9 - raised them all.

On my other post I mentioned one of my roosters, Rudy, who attacks me. Rudy was supposed to be a hen (aren't all roosters?), so after realizing that my would-be hen crows, and after losing 4 others for various reasons, I purchased 6 more chicks. Well, 2 of these pullets turned out to be...

Thank you all for your help! I didn't realize it was so prevalent! I did some internet research and found that people have videos of egg-eating nest boxes! So I will go that route first. I planned on converting the old shed into a little coop for my rooster and his 2 red hens. They're my...

I have 3 hens that started eating the newly laying hens' eggs so I separated them and put them in a tractor. One we reintroduced to the flock. She seems to be doing fine. Maybe it was only one of the hens eating eggs and it wasn't her. Now, the remaining two hens (with a rooster) are eating...
