Thanks for the tip! When should I ease out of feeding the gamebird starter and go to something with less protein?

We got two goslings that are now 7 or 8 weeks old - yesterday the female (we think) and slightly smaller one started limping on her left leg. Looked at her foot to see if she had something sticking her and her foot and leg look fine and seem to move naturally. She can still run pretty fast...

Usually if you see that the chick has pipped, but they don't make any progress after that (for maybe a day) then they may be shrink wrapped. This just means that the inner membrane has dried and the chick is stuck to it. I have helped out many many shrink wrapped chicks. I take the whole egg...

Me too! I just add the new chick or chicks to the box and I have quite a range in there! The older ones are curious at first, but not mean.

Hi, I hope I don't cause any offense, but what makes these 'giant' cochins vs LF cochins? The babies are beautiful! Do you have more pics of your hens and rooster? Thanks!

and a pic of eggs, please?!

I bought a Brinsea Eco 20, but I find it hard to see into compared to my Hovabator. Also hard to keep the humidity up for lockdown.

I had a good hatch of these eggs too - considering they came all the way to Alaska! Set 8 eggs, had 5 chicks hatch. Not bad! They are sooo cute! Amy

Hi, I can't find any pics of your birds - are your RIR heritage or hatchery? Thanks! Amy

How much is shipping for 12 eggs?

Nancy - Here I come! Here is a pic of the EE babies I just hatched from your eggs!

Is this for a dozen +?

I haven't had Brahmas long enough to know, but I have always found Cochins to be great broodies!

I have been hatching steadily since New Years (Yay!) and I hate the dust/dander. So I got a couple air filters and put the smaller one in the bedroom for the brand new babies and a larger one in the garage where I have 2 different pens of different age chicks. It has kept down the dust...

Are your Salmon Favs LF or Bantam?
