Thank you both very much! I am putting them in tonight...... :)

I have hatched tons of chicken eggs, this will be a first for me hatching duck eggs. They are large white pekin ducks.... She isn't sitting on them and I would like to know what temp, what humidity and how many days do they need in the incubator. Do I lay them down as she has them in the...

At the moment I only have 21 adult hens, and they all free range from sun up till sunset. They have a copp its only used for sleeping and laying eggs it is 8 ft long at back and front and 12 feet along both sides and 6 ft tall. Some of the roosters are bantams and my hens are LF so most they can...

Yea I would never expect anyone to keep a rooster who attacks a small child thats just too dangerous and babies come first. The rule here is they have to be able to live in peace in order to live here. This goes for cats , dogs and any other critter that wants to live on my farm.

I raise them for eating eggs, and hatching chicks to sell . I also sell the eggs to people who want to hatch them.

I bought them this year I didn't have any EE hens , a lot of them will be sold it was cheaper to buy in bulk and then sell off what I didn't need. This will be for next years breeding so I can pair off 10 - 20 hens per roos. I have EE , BR, BO ,RIR, Australorps, and Ameraucana When they are...

Its understandable I have been raising chicks for a while now i still worry over them. But glad they are acting fine. yea the summer heat will do that to them and also older chickens too .

I believe if they are full of energy, eating , and drinking ok, then they are. In the beginning to me baby chicks don't have a smell but give it a few weeks more and waapaaa PU It kind of reminds me of that Joke Bill Cosby told many yrs ago. Everybody was aww how cute the baby did a poopy...

I have , with most of my chickens actually if we go sit outside while they are free ranging they will come up on our shoulder and start doing it. But we have had them since they were babies and most I have hatched out myself. Even the roosters like to do this , as well as be held. I think it...

The one looking up at the camera? ETS : I believe your right that is the closest I have been able to find to the markings on the face. Wow it would be nice if that is what she is they are beautiful as adults.

Ellen that is a very nice set up :) ---------------------------------------------- Quote: That looks like my Speckled Sussex. They are very pretty. ------------Thank you JDEPWEG, i will have to wait and see what she is when she grows up I still can't find a match on the feather site.

I have fed crack corn and corn meal to my chicks , in mexico it is all they feed their chicks and chickens. I have never had a problem from it however I also add extra things when they are babies such as I ground the crack corn and ground the chick feed to almost powder the first 2 weeks. After...

where did you get them?

Ellen I usually put mine out after they have enough feathers all over but never in the same coop with the adult hens.

I don't know what she is I wish I did, she is always the first to come up to us lol My flock outside is BO, RIR , BA, BR, LB, I ordered these chicks on line from Ideal hatchery from their surprise Pullet special they are all LF

Chickens do peck also they see little red lips look like juicy tomatoes or strawberries chickens are attracted to things and very curious. My hens , and baby chicks also peck at fingers , and if held close enough will also peck at someones face. Its their nature. I am glad your son is ok ...

Thanks :)
