On my laptop (Windows 7, Firefox 43.0.4--what I've always used with no problems), the last couple of hours, this is what I get when I go to my Subscriptions page: Everything's normal when I use my phone. Oh, wait--Firefox wants me to restart for an update--I'll let you know if that fixes it...

I have a small plastic incubator (a Brinsea Octagon 10) that I bought third hand. There is no built-in hygrometer, and there isn't really room to place a hygrometer inside (I'd bought one last year, struggled with placing it so I could actually read it, and, once the first chick hatched, he kept...

My hen is a red sex link, probably at least 3 years old (I've had her 2 years, and I was told she was "older" then). The sagginess almost looks like what I'd imagine a beard might look under the feathers (unless a beard *is* just feathers) except Quiche isn't bearded, and it's mostly on her...

When I first got chickens, here in my not-zoned-for-roosters neighborhood, I was only going to get fully-feathered pullets when I needed to add to my flock. I didn't want to deal with a heat lamp outside, and I certainly wasn't going to ever brood indoors. If I happened to get a broody hen, I'd...

I was going to quote someone, then noticed that I couldn't. Then I noticed that it wasn't in the Hatching forum any more...

I've been feeding an All-in-One poultry feed for a while now, as the simplest way to deal with feeding chicks and layers. The protein's at 18%, so at the lower end for chicks, but they've been growing well. I hadn't actually checked the calcium level, because I was assuming that it was low. then...

They will be 5 weeks old this week. I could only get close pictures of one of the two, but they are identical development-wise.

I'm expanding my run, and I need to set fence posts. I have some used posts that still have the cement ball attached. Do I need to break the cement off of the posts, or can I dig an extra big hole, and surround the old cement with new (including the top)?

I've written an article offsite about the very basics of keeping backyard chickens: Backyard Chicken Coops: An Urban Surprise (this isn't necessarily the final form--think of it as a 3rd or 4th draft, though I don't anticipate major changes). (There are links back to BYC in the article, if...

This year, the show is again in Ferndale at the Humboldt County Fairgrounds, but it's on Valentine's Day So I'm bringing my husband along @LAChick and I are already making tentative plans to meet up. Who else is planning on going? I might think about getting a couple of additions to my...

The HPFA's 2014 Winter Show is in Ferndale at the Ferndale Fairgrounds on February 8. Is anyone planning on going, besides maybe @OR4-hmom and myself?

Our property (just a few blocks outside the city limits, so .15 acre) has a building right next to the garage (walls maybe 18 inches apart) that had (originally clear, I'm sure) corrugated fiberglass for about 1/3 to 1/2 of the wall area (not counting the wall next to the garage--that's solid...

No, not the Bay Area--I'm 6 hours north of San Francisco (almost in Oregon--the border's 19 miles away, and the ocean would be visible if it weren't for that stand of trees at the dead end) Anyway, on to the questions template... (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get...
