Hey guys I haven't been on in forever! Is anyone interested in some seabrights? Since my last posting I have lost many birds and grown a healthy sized flock. I have learned that having 30 chicks hatch doesn't mean 30 hens lol. If anyone interested in a barred rock rooster or some crosses let me...

The grape sized egg on the left is my first egg from one of my two first birds I hatched in the incubator, I think a barred rock amberlink cross 16 or 17 weeks old

Where in the Adirondacks are you? And I'm might have drawn conclusions but what TSC did you get cream legbars from ???

So I know there some new faces in there that are 12 weekers but the two from earlier in this post are now much larger, the one with the erect comb I'm thinking may be a roo but the deflated comb I'm pretty sure is a hen. Due to the fact that I found this the other day which is about the size of...

I lost my election day hatch to a new dog in the family that is now on my bad list, butchered a silkie rooster that turned super aggressive, and now her dying, it's turning out to be a rough start to winter. On the bright side the Halloween hatch is doing great.

Hey guys, it's been awhile but I figured I would share a story as this morning was my first experience with a weasel.my dogs heard the ruckus at 3am of the chickens speaking and woke me up, I got up to find it had snowed a bit a could hear them going nuts out there. So standard procedure I...

I realized 2 days ago this next batch is due election day hopefully Nome of them come out crooked lol

I find that the duck eggs are white, always laid before the sun comes up and always somewhere on the floor which the chickens never do. the only thing which is hard to get used to is watching my silkie rooster mate with my pekin, and my khaki, the Rouen can fly a little bit and always gets...

As far as I know a khaki Campbell, got him from TSC end of April.tried to hatch some of the khaki eggs but the chick kicked them all over the place and I think they died

I bought an incubator 18 weeks into this venture and so far am on my third hatch from my own birds eggs, I have another 17 in the brooder

a little fall cleaning

i have 4 roosters , 9 hens, 5 ducks , and two lavender guinea fowl. they were all raised togather and get along with no fighting. the one rooster actually has laid claim to being the watchful eye to the ducks. the other two travel together.

well it was pretty obvious to the eye the barring once out of the red light, mom could even see it!

I would be curious which model from TSC? Are you using more than just the built in thermometer? Egg Turner or no?

Its in the timber music video at 1:11, couldn't find any info as to what farm but that second one doesn't look like a barred rock to me either
