I am looking to build a flock of breeding BLRW. I had started on them as a project, but then lost them to a dog attack. I am looking to buy eggs or chicks if you are near the montgomery county area in TX. Thanks!

I have some new hens that started laying about 2 months ago. I have had hens before and know it takes a few weeks for them to start laying normal size eggs, but I don't remember it taking this long with my last batch. About how long does it normally take for the eggs to reach full size? Maybe my...

I got the eggs ordered from Upintheholler today in the mail! 6 Araucana eggs and 6 Olive eggers (welsummerXAraucana) They were packaged with lots of bubble wrap and each egg was individually wraped, beautiful! not a single break! I can't wait to see how these develop! and especially see how...

I am looking to hatch out some olive eggers in a few months and wanting to see how much someone would sell them to me for, include shipping. Would only need 6+ Thanks!

I have a leghorn that has been sitting on a nest of eggs for over 4 hours. I went out there around 10:30 and she was on the nest, I just went out there and she is still there. Not really doing much, just sitting and dozing. I know these won't normally go broody, I have never had a broody so I...

I put a rooster in with my hens today and caught him doing the deed already, how long should I wait before they would be ready to incubate?

I was out in the coop with the chickens, spending time with my new little baby chicks that came in about a month ago. When all of a sudden Lenny and Ming Ming (two babies my broody buff hatched in Oct) jumped up onto my shoulders! So I had to take a picture of them! Right after I took this pic...

My eggs arrived from JamesA today! I can't wait, I got a dozen + split bw welsummers and BLRW. Packing was awesome, didn't loose a single egg! In the carton every egg was wraped with napkin for extra cushion. Thanks James and can't wait to see how these turn out! I have them setting on the...

I have tried to look these up, and have gotten some pretty crazy things. What are they, what do they do and how do you use it? I have eggs that should be coming this week and want to make sure I have everything ready LOL Thanks

I know this sounds stoopid, but I have heard different people refer to it at the time when they first put the eggs in and then again on the last 3 days... so which is it? I am new to this and want to make sure I get the terms right, LOL

I am looking for BLRW, delawares and welsummers that I can add to my flock. I am in Magnolia Tx, near tomball, conroe and houston surrounding areas. I would prefer chicks, but can borrow an incubator if needed. I am looking for about 5 or so of each and don't want to spend hatchery prices or...

I got a shipment of Dec. Surprize from Ideal, I am able to figure most of them out, but these two are giving me some trouble! I looked at the feather sit to try and see if I could tell what they are, but no luck. So I figured I would give you guys a try! I can try to get better pics if you need...

I think this is a cochin, has feathered feet maybe a bantam? I got it from someone who said it is 2 months old but didnt know what kind they bought. I know pictures arent that great, it didn't get handled much so it is very skidish and won't let me get very close without taking off. Thanks

I have a cuckoo muran that I was told was a rooster when I got him. He should be about 7-8 months old now, he has matured I believe since his comb and wattles have grown alot this past month and turned bright red. Only he does not crow (not complaining about that part) nor does he "service" the...

A dog got into my back yard on Wednesday night. My favorite layer "fat girl" was attacked along with another hen. The other hen was long gone before I made it outside, but Fat Girl was still hanging on. From what I could tell they grabbed her from her back and pulled out alot of feathers, but no...
