Have a broody hen and no rooster? It is still possible for your broody hen to adopt day old chicks, there are just a few tips to help your broody hen to become a happy adoptive mother. Once you've confirmed your hen is in a broody stage place the broody hen in it's own private area with feed and water. The feed and water will be for both mother hen and chicks. Use 20% protein chick starter, which will be fine if the Mother eats this feed as well because the extra protein will help her while she is broody. The sooner you can get the chicks the better, but in the meantime you can encourage the broody hen to stay broody by keeping a calm and private nesting spot for her. Once you receive your chicks, be sure to have a temporary brooder set up and allow the chicks to become acclimated. We would not recommend attempting to have her adopt chicks older than a week of age. We hatch and ship our chicks on the same day so by time you would receive them they are only 24-72 hours old, depending when you receive them from the day they are shipped.

There is a possibility of the mother hen not accepting a chick, so if you would have children involved in the process be sure to check them yourself first in case there would be a casualty. If by the next day she's accepted the the couple that you had introduced to her, add the rest under her that night. If she does not take to chicks, it may be best to order hatching eggs and have her hatch them instead. With a successful adoption of chicks allow the chicks and their new adoptive mother to have their own area as other members of the flock may show aggression toward the new additions, however, if they have a history of accepting new additions to the flock keep a watchful eye on them once they've been
The purpose of my experiments is to find the best conditions for heritage breed turkey incubation. I tested two incubator conditions on two different batches of eggs. Every time you incubate there will different conditions in the incubators environment and different egg quality based on what time of year you incubate. For example: every summer my turkeys are on free range grass and the eggs they lay will have different nutrients than the eggs they lay in the winter and no grass is available. The things that stayed the same in both my experiments were the breeding pairs, or genetics, and the main incubator I used. The goal of every incubation is to get 100% of the chicks to hatch but in my experiments I am using
Chickens used for egg production typically live in one of many battery cages crammed into a long windowless shed. Ten or more of these hens are packed together in a cage that is about the size of a drawer in a filing cabinet. This causes frustration and fighting between the hens. To keep this from happening, farmers often cut or burn part of their beaks off without medicine to dull the pain. Hens who become sick are usually not given proper veterinary care and are left to die slowly and painfully. Some of the eggs laid by the hens are hatched by another industry to supply more chickens for egg production. Since the hatched male chicks cannot lay eggs, they are often killed by grinding or suffocation. When the hens grow old and stop producing as many eggs, many farmers will deny them proper nutrition to try and “shock” their bodies into laying eggs one last time. Then they are slaughtered and their bodies are used for food scraps.

In 1983, Raymond Carver introduced his short story “Cathedral” to the public. The first-person narrative takes place within the narrator’s home, where his wife is waiting upon the arrival of her blind friend Robert. The narrator, however, becomes more concerned about how Robert’s visit will affect him rather than enjoy the situation. Once Robert arrives, the narrator tries to understand the blind man, but he is unaware of what tasks Robert is capable of performing due to the narrator’s inability to “see”. In time, Robert shows the narrator the difference between looking and seeing through illustrations of a cathedral, drawn by the narrator with his eyes closed. “Cathedral’s” narrator exposes readers to anti-heroic views
Because of the way these chickens a raised and treated, there is no way it can be healthy eating the chickens, or the eggs. The chickens that you eat are pumped full chemicals so they are bigger and fatter but it is obviously not natural for anything to eat these chickens. Plus, it is terribly cruel the way the chickens are handled and “cared for”. I know that most people
Over 7,500 animals are killed in zoos because they are deemed surplus, as stated by Liz Tyson an animals rights activist. This giraffe in particular sparked a huge controversy. HIs name was Marius, he was homed at the Copenhagen Zoo and was 2 years old when the staff killed him with a bolt gun. Marius was then dissected and fed to lions in front of ongoing zoo goers. What got people fuming is that he was a healthy, young giraffe. Therefore I believe the killing of Marius should not be justified.

A quote by Willa Cather says, “The end is nothing; the road is all.” This quote is stating that it is not about the destination arrived at, but that it is about the journey to get there. I do agree with this quote. Instead of only waiting for the end, enjoy and cherish the events that lead up to it.
