For those of you that ship chicks, what are the cut off temperatures when you will no longer ship? Thanks!

Hatched 3/21-22. These are a barnyard mix of colors, but are from pure imported english orpington lines. Disclaimer: I do not know what color they will end up and even if it is a recognized color it is very possible they will not breed true. My roosters are 2 red, 1 partridge, 1 jubilee, and...

Does anyone know if it is safe to hatch eggs when the hen is on Corid? My gut says no, that the thiamine blocking properties may result in chick vitamin deficiencies. But this I a guess and I am not sure how long you would need to wait after administering the Corid treatment. Thanks!

I thought I remembered reading somewhere on BYC that a member figured out how to only mix up part of the Marek's vaccine at a time, but I can't find it. Does anyone know how to do this?

Just curious if anyone here has purchased one recently. If so, where did you find the best price? I want to place an order for one soon. Thanks!

I am trying to pick a good entry level incubator. So far the Hovabotor Genesis 1588 seems like a good option for me in terms of capacity and reviews. However, I would like to do staggered hatches. Is this possible? Would I need 2 incubators?

I am new to chicken keeping and really enjoying my chicks. I especially love my orpingtons, barred rocks and Easter eggers. I am just curious if there are breeds that tend to sell better or are more popular. I am not planning anything currently, but am just curious. At some point in the...

I have Easter egger, black australorp, barred rock, buff Orpington, and may get some golden Wyandotte chicks. They are all less than two weeks old and should be pullets. At what age can you tell for sure they actually are pullets? These are my first chickens. Thanks!

I am new to chickens, we just bought 2 each of Easter egger, barred rock, buff orpington, and black australorp pullets (hopefully!). They are all under ten days old. We will keep them for eggs and as pets. We also have horses and a cat (indoor only). We are really excited about our new...
