I ordered eggs on the internet and they were shipped on the 13th and I received them today. Do you think they are still good to put into the incubator or has too much time passed?

I have 15 hens, my oldest hen stared out with diarrhea and three more have it now. They are loosing feathers on their bums, although my oldest one seems to be over it and her feathers are starting to grow back now. There are NO signs of: blood in poop worms in poop lack of appetite lethargy...

I have owned hens for almost three years now (they don't free range) and have never wormed them. I've never seen - nor have I looked for - worms in the poop. I have DE in the coop shavings and give them ACV every now and then. Do I need to be giving them something else and more often? I sell...

I'm having a problem with my run washing and my chickens digging out. Any advice on how I can prevent this would be appreciated. Joan

I've separated my four young girls from my older hens. They are in the same run but separated by a fence. They've been separated for a week. My young sweet speckled sussex got into the older girls run and my usually sweet buff orp and australorp almost killed her. I'm so ticked at the older...

we process our red broilers and let me tell you I can't wait! It's hot now and they STINK! I doubt I'll ever do these birds again.

Is anyone else having fly problems? I didn't seem to have such a problem in my old coop - I've spread DE and hung fly strips - they are all over the run too but fortunately don't bother the chickens. Is there anything I can do to get rid of them? I seem to recall early last summer I had...

Here is the second chick that hatched today at 2pm. Both are doing great and what an awesome thing to see! The Black Copper has not pipped and we are so disappointed but not giving up just yet. I'm ready for more eggs!

Were we supposed to remove the chick from the bator after it dries? Does this affect the other eggs if the bator is opened? We had another pip in one egg at 12:30am and this morning there is no change. Are we supposed to leave all of the hatched chicks in the bator until all eggs hatch? Thanks!

I'm not sure what I should use for the post on my run. I thought about landscape timbers, but I hate the way they look. Are 4 x 4's overkill? Any suggestions on what to use on a 12' x 21'?

We're using the Brinsea R-Com that holds only 3 eggs! We bought the eggs from Gabbard Farms. We're so excited! This is our first hatch! Can ya tell I'm excited?

I have the Brinsea R-Com - the manual says it's supposed to turn the eggs every 3 hours, but they are turning every hour. Will it hurt the eggs/chicks to be turned every hour? Anyone else have this same unit with this problem?

I have 2 extra SM eggs for anyone that wants to come and pick them up. They will be one week old tomorrow.

We put the 3 eggs in yesterday (Black Copper Maran and Splash Maran) Wish us luck!

Sis and I ordered 3 eggs from MPC - well they shipped 5, which is great, but we have the Brinsea R-COM bator that only holds 3 eggs. What to do with the remaining 2? Can they be stored? I hate to waste fertile eggs! I still have these 2 eggs if anyone near me would like to come and pick...

like RHewitts. I really, really, really want some like these! I've posted on craigslist and looked on ebay.

Anyone ever order eggs from them?

My new run slopes to the right towards the coop if you can tell in the picture. I'm concerned about the soil washing away after the chickens have eaten the grass. Does anyone have any suggestions to keep it from washing? Thanks! Joan

I thought Cochins were supposed to be lovable and cuddly? Mine are wild and skittish as heck. Our Sussex and Wyandotte are friendly as can be and I have handled them all the same. What's up?

Here is the floor! it's 10 x 12 and will have a little storage space. My wonderful dad and I are building it together - although he told me "you scare the he** out of me with a hammer"
