I bought White Orpingtons, White Rocks and White Jersey Giants on July 13,09. I was wondering which ones are which. Some are big, some have a grey tint to them and some have yellow feet. Does anyone know which characteristic goes with which breed?Thanks

I haven't had luck with hatching and I lost all 16 of my black copper marans, so I am looking for black copper maran chicks. I only want one rooster and 2-3 hens. So if anyone has a few to spare I would love to buy them.

I am hatching a variety of purebreed chicks. They are Jersey Giants from this site (I only want a few) and a variety from http://www.gabbardhatchingeggs.com/ I ordered them and then I decided to order some other chicks from someone else. (So I will have too many chicks) They should hatch the...

I have tried to hatch three times now and I haven't been very successful. Everytime I only get one - three chicks and I put in at least 20-40 eggs. All of the others develop almost to the end and some even pip the membrane but don't break the shell. Here is what I have done: Clean circulated...

I would like the eggs because I just finished a long dispute on ebay and I WON. Someone on ebay defrauded me by sending me three dozen mixed breed mutt chickens for LIGHT SUSSEX. They took my money and tried to get away with it. I now have my money back and want to try incubatin again. Thanks

I tried to hatch Serama eggs, but with no luck. I haven't had very good hatches yet, but some have hatched. But none of my Seramas hatched. They seemed to develop and I heard a couple of them peeping but then nothing. I was just wondering if you have to do anything special for these little...

Thank you! Thank you! I will see if this works!

I am in a disput in paypal because I ordered light sussex fertilized eggs and hatched out black mutt chickens. These people purposely defrauded me. Paypal says I can get a refund if I send the chicks back. I have two claims with the same person. So now they want me to send two baby chicks...

Will someone please explain the difference between Rhode Island Red and New Hampshire Reds? I have heard that the Rhode Island Reds don't go broody. Is that true? Which would you choose for the purposes of having a broody that would raise her own chicks? Thanks

Well I am just having the worst luck! My eggs are on day 9 and have been fine for 9 days. Temp held steady at 99-100 and the humidity was 30-40%. My son went to check on them when I wasn't home and the temp was at 92, so he turned up the temp. When I got home I checked and the temp was...

What are the best dual purpose breeds that go broody? We also want them to be calm and pretty good eggs layers? Thanks!

I am sure you will get a lot of different repsonses. I am new to this so take it for what it's worth. I just had a hatch of 4 out of 40. Disappointing to say the least so I am no way near an expert. I am going to keep trying, but this is what happened to me. One of the 4 had pipped through...

Yes I have a fan. They were all shipped eggs, but I just found a lady who sells fertilized eggs nearby, not the ones I really want but I guess I could practice incubating while I save up to buy some more expensive eggs. I did have a bad egg in there that I didn't know about. It exploded when...

Ok I guess I have the bug because I am really bummed. My incubator started smelling so I candled the eggs and nothing was alive. I opened them up just to be sure. I hate doing that but I am just learning and really want to know what I did wrong. Here is what I found: 1/2 haved developed...

I am confused I thought a cir air incubator was suppose to be kept at 99.5 so why are you saying her temp was low? Are you saying that even a 98 degrees dip here and there will create a late hatch?If so maybe that is why my hatch is late. I was afraid of a higher spike so I didn't worry to...

I bought some from oberhaslik and my first one just hatched today. He is so cute. I am anxiously waiting for some more to hatch. Whatever you do don't get impatient and buy without doing research like I did. I am too trusting and ended up buying a couple hundred dollar worth of eggs from...

Does anyone have pictures or know of a website that has pictures of the differences between male and female feathers? Someone told me that she picks out chicks to buy according to their feathers? Is that possible and what would that look like? Thanks!

Thanks everyone! I have some new ideas. So far out of my 40 egg hatch I have had 3 hatch. I am waiting until Monday or so to start over, just in case. I will check out some of these ideas.

Do you give your newly hatched chicks vitamins or any other preventative medicine, vitamins etc?
