It is not the sex that develops, but rather the eggs that contain male or female. It is very near impossible to have a 100% hatch rate so the temperature simply allows for more of the female eggs to develop, or more of the male eggs to develop. Again, my own personal experiences proved that...

Where are you located? I'm not shipping live animals currently, but have birds available for pick up. Right now I am actually just selling a breeding trio. I have two separate trios (1 rooster, 2 hens), but am becoming limited on space so I'm moving towards having only one trio for each breed.

Higher incubator temperature. I see hatched two sets of eggs now. My first, I had no idea about the temperature thing and read that worth a still air incubator the temperature needed to be 101.5 Out of 15 chicks, only 3 were female. Then I read up on the temperature thing how more males tend...

I actually have two breeding trios and am thinking of selling one due to limited space. Not sure which to sell... 2 year old rooster with 1 year old hens or 1 year old rooster with 2 year old hens. They are greenfire farms birds bought from a breeder in ft pierce and just finished their...

Do you sell chicks?

I appreciate the link, but I found that quite some time ago. Unfortunately none of the sources they list carry these chickens anymore :(

Oh wow. I had only seen that they discontinued them to make room for other breeds. I'd be very happy if they brought them back.

Does anyone still sell these? I can't seem to find them anywhere :(

Still getting an egg a day from my new layer. Amazing hen! (I didn't think they could lay every day for two weeks straight without a day off). One of my marans squatted when I pet her yesterday so I might very well get a dark brown egg before spring after all :)

I'm amazed. The local farm that sells eggs is currently only selling dairy. They have 15 acres and a BUNCH of chickens. But the chickens aren't laying for the season. The sign said "seasonal lay-off". Most are molting. I Just find that insane how you go from sooooooo many to zip! My hen...

My little girl is a rock star! Being new to laying and giving me two her first day and laying another the next morning, I thought for sure she'd need a day or so break, but nope. Still gave me another one :) The face of one of my cuckoo marans is getting really red now so I'm thinking she...

Hello. In May my current lease will expire and I'll be moving. I currently live in eastern lake worth where I'm technically not suppose to have chickens, but I have awesome neighbors so no problems as of yet. I know there are undercover chicken owners all over the city and surrounding area...

Yes the single chicken problem is why I'm thinking of keeping her with the chicks even after the quarantine period is over until the chicks are her same size. That way I can introduce a group of 6 same size birds to my three larger hens and even though the rest will continue growing, hopefully...

So back in mid June, I hatched 12 eggs and ended up with only 3 hens in the whole bunch. One just started laying yesterday and they are all three large birds. I recently found a feed store around 45 minutes from me that sells sexed baby chicks. 95% should be female. I like those odds much...

I have two cuckoo marans pullets that I don't think are laying yet; their and wattles are still small and pink. I have a third hen (mystery bird... we think ameraucana wyandotte mix. Maybe some delaware) who finally layed today. I checked my coop thoroughly yesterday and there was nothing...

I, too, feed my chickens meat. If there are table scraps left over that are not too salty, it goes to my hens. They are beyond sweet. While they free range my yard, they will often hop up on my lap to be pet if I'm sitting on my yard chair. My Little three year old even picks them up...

I had 12 chicks hatch in June. Of those, only 3 turned out to be hens (how do you like those odds?) It was really tough picking which rooster to keep because only one was skittish/aggressive. The rest were sweethearts. I decided to keep my rir, ginger. He was the sweetest rooster with...

It will be fine :) Mine was off for quite some time (possibly twice as long) and I still had 12 hatch. 3 had some funkiness going on with them and of them, two didn't make it, but I have 10 wonderful, happy chickens that are getting super spoiled! (Almost 2 months old now! ) Good luck and...

Just an update; I haven't yet tried tying anything off. The mass has definitely shrunk down since yesterday afternoon. Since it is shrinking I figured I'd continue to watch closely. I sprayed the area with vetermicyn and wrapped the chick in clean, warm and moist paper towel. The chick that...

Hello. I'm nearing the end of my first hatch. Of 17 eggs, 13 have hatched between 2 days ago and yesterday. The chicks are about to be moved to the brooder and I now have three eggs left and one more that pipped last night. I was not aware of the paper towel trick, muffin trick, or any...
