Just finished Spring hatch, with some ups and downs. Ups 1) Repurposed gardening/greenhouse heat mats under the incubators because the laundry room/hatching room cools overnight. They're waterproof, rugged, and I had no fire hazard worries. 2) Read on this site, about the rotating the eggs from...

Loading up my incubator the week of April 17 and would love to try some Niederrheiners. Anyone have some extras to sell? Would need them shipped to Oregon, or can do pick up if on the rare chance there are Oregon or Southern Washington-based breeders. Thanks in advance!

Free, three Exchequer Leghorn cockerels in Portland, OR. They're growing like weeds and are the friendliest Leghorns I've ever raised. Great comb and wattle growth at a young age, color is coming in nicely and they're the most inquisitive/friendly of the hatch (Pure Ameraucana, Whiting True...

Just double checking... A pullet out of a partridge EE X Dominant white leghorn has only one copy of dominant white- and if bred to a colored roo could potentially hatch out pullets that are colored as well- correct? Loving the potential production increase by introducing pure leghorn genes...

Ordered eggs from eBay to hatch out, and have three free boys for your flock. The Svart Hona cockerel is a sweetheart. Likes human interaction and is already the peace keeper of his brood. He's going to be a good sized rooster, nice full body and great fibromelanistic genes. Will be fun to...

Got eggs on eBay and hatched them out- two of six made it and they're lively little suckers. Have never raised Leghorns but now realize what 'active' or 'flighty' means. Jeez. No offense to Leghorn fans, but my Marans, Wellies, EEs and Rocks are my chill speed! I've grouped the two chicks'...

Have one Svart Hona cockerel available for the first reliable taker! He's super chill and likes a good snuggle/scratch session. Started to vocalize at 5 weeks- and he's already protective of his hatch mates (as much as a five week old can be). Not sure of the lineage- hatched him from eggs...

Quick question for you who've been raising Svart Honas... I ordered eggs from eBay and three hatched- from pip to zip was less than eight hours for all three! Once they were dried and fluffy, I transferred them to the brooder- all in great shape- eating and drinking within a half hour. They are...

Here's some photos of a Splash Marans pullet that I wanted to crowd source input on- just to put away the 10% uncertainty I have that she's a she. Seven weeks old, zero sign of pink/red on comb or wattle- but she's 20-30% bigger than her hatch mates and is completely unafraid of the little roo...

Our favorite EE pullet (of course) got ahold of a Datura seedling and apparently ate the whole thing. With a huge range- she picked the one thing not to eat. Her eyes stayed clear, good color on her comb, vent and poo were fine- but she was walking around in a complete haze (looked like she...
