My family has started showing chickens in the last 6 months. It's getting a little more serious for my girls and I think it's time to build some show crates. Does anyone have pictures (examples) of crate designs that they are willing to share? Experience with what works and what doesn't would...

I'm trying to get a new hatched chick to eat and it won't. Sure it will peck occasionally but it's very obvious it's not eating. I've been dipping it's beak in vitamin & electrolytes with sugar. It is seeing all of the others pecking and it's not getting the lesson. What can I do short of...

I have 7 eggs ready to go from my trio of standard sized silver spangled Hamburgs. They are small, efficient and excellent layers. First payment of $15 to arrive gets them. This does include shipping by USPS Priority Mail with an confirmation number. I can have them out today if payment is...

My very first baby is a button quail. I had given up on anything hatching. I was with taking the temperature with an Accurite outside thermometer. Close to the end I figured out the actual sensor was on the bottom of the the little box that goes outside so it was much too hot. But this...

Could this be an Exchequer Leghorn? She didn't start laying until 10 months old. It's a small white egg. I got her from Cackle Hatchery in a hatchery surprise package. Her comb seems to be getting a little bigger. Does it take a while for Leghorns to get the large combs that lay over? I've...

I would like to see if we have enough interest to start a rare bird egg swap. This thread could give those who have an interest in preserving rare breeds a chance to build their flocks with new blood. This will improve hardiness and vigor with genetic diversity to dwindling breeds...

I have my first eggs in the bator. They are on day 6. Okay, I admit it. I've very excited. These days are going by so slowly. I was candling one egg and accidentally dropped it. (Glad the kids weren't here to see it.) But so, it cracked. Is it gone? Did I kill it? It had quite a few...

I don't know where to start. I was out tending my chickens. I was coming by my Oriental Game pen and my white hen had something weird looking under her tail. She looked like she was messy but I didn't remember her having that going on. As I looked closer, there was a white mass in the...

I'm on day 3 of my first incubation. I have two accurite temperature gauges. One stays between 99 & 101 and the other stays between 100 & 102. I've been keeping the humidity on the underside of 50%. Last night, they were on their colder temps so I put covered up the air hole and turned up my...

I am looking for Mottled Java eggs. Does anyone here have them?

Today, I swapped Buttercup eggs for Button Quail, made a deal on Le Fleche eggs and got on a list for Appenzeller Spitzhauben eggs. I just got back from borrowing a bator. (It's midnight.) As I'm preparing to clean and setup the bator to start warming. (This is my first attempt to hatch...

I had checked Katie, my Boxer and thought of letting her out to go with me to do chores. She was bouncing up and down like normal. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I decided against it since Cricket, our cat was following me. Then when I was out feeding, I heard one of the puppies keep...

My Chihuahua just had her puppies a little while ago. From the x-rays, it seems she may be finished. She was supposed to have 2 maybe 3. I think they are beautiful! I would like to introduce: Boy ~ Tiny Tim (Parti Chocolate) Girl ~ Noel (Masked Fawn) Mom & puppies are resting comfortably.

I'm been stressing about this problem for a good bit. I'm trying to use humor to get through it. I have done much reading and used many things to make them stop. Since I have seen many posts concerning it, I thought putting it all together might help others experiencing it. Adding more...

I'm getting ready to build a Chicken Tractor. Here are my basic ideas for the "Green Gardens Chicken Condo": Two story design with a run under on the bottom story with large wheels to make garden terrain moves. I'm thinking of using horse panels to get a study but safe playground for the...

My Boxer is having babies tonight. So far she has 4 girls and 1 boy. I feel this is going to be a long night. It's almost like Christmas without all the cost... She has 1 fawn and the rest are brindle. One little girl seems to be almost a sealed brindle. I can only hope. I'm wanting one...

My different breeds of chickens were running together but I now have them paired up. How long do I have to wait to make sure my chicks will be purebreds?
