Thank you so much! :)

Does that mean this lavender is actually blue? How can you tell the difference between the lavender and blue? Are the legs a different color on the blue? Should I breed her to her brother (pictured)?

Several months back I purchased four orpingtons. A roo and three hens. I was told two were lavender and the other two were black. The roo and a hen were lavender. I incubated several eggs and started hatching them. The first one hatched mother's day and the others are 5 and 6 weeks old. My...

My chicks started pipping last night around 11:30. There isn't any progress 12 hours later. Do I start to help them? Humidity is at 70% and I still hear peeps coming from the egg. Ugh, do I help or not?

I got it from Tractor Supply. It does say it can be used for birds to. I know when I used it in my horses stall it worked great. The pellets just absorbed any liquid and turned to a fine dust. It smells like I have a Christmas pine growing in my bathroom... for now anyway. LOL I'll let you...

Has anyone ever used this in their brooder box? How well did it work? I use to use something similar in my horses stall and it was very absorbent. Chicks should be hatching on Monday! :) Thanks Patrice

Not yet. :(

Are you selling the trio or your breeding the trio?

Anyone selling hatching eggs or chicks? I really want this breed in my backyard. I can't find anyone local that has them. I'm in Columbia SC.

I'm looking for some faverolles. Hatching eggs or chicks. I really want this breed in my backyard. Anyone have some?

I'm just down the road in the other direction about 30 minutes in Chapin. Welcome to the wonderful world of chickens. Just watch out for the huge problem of chicken math. It will sneak up on you if you don't watch out.

Thank you Duckopolis. I started out with 16 fertile eggs and have lost two so far. I buried the infertile and non vital eggs in my flower bed. I hope to have at least 6 out of the group make it all the way.

Thank you all for the response. I candled them all tonight and they all are moving around. Should I expect to lose some of them in the coming weeks? What do you all do with your infertile eggs? Throw them out?

These eggs have been in the incubator for 8 days now. I just got the humidity/thermometer today and put it in there. I've been using the thermometer that came with it. One says a little over and the other says a little under. I only got the other one so I know the humidity in the incubator. So...

Any chance that this could be a sinus infection?
