So I have read so many different opinions on how you should release Guinea hens. The ones I will be getting are about a year. I did not intend on locking them up which depending on responses I may change my mind. At the moment I have about 30+free range chickens and they have a coop and I have 8...

I have always incubated my eggs but when I acquired some bantams and had not as much use for the eggs I ended up with a broody hen. She hatched one chick!! Super exciting... Until it vanished... I raise all of the bantams together in a very safe coop so didn't feel it was a preditor. By this...

I have been hatching for over a year now and have hatched well over 100 birds. But one thing I can't seem to figure out is out of all of my breeds my barred rocks that hatch are ALWAYS BOYS!!!

So the question isn't as crazy as the title but I HAVE TO ASK... So I just had a hatch thT was a kinda bad turnout... I hadn't broke down the incubator yet. My chicks took 3 days to hatch and the last one hatched about 4-5 days ago give or take. .. I should have broke my incubator down 3 days...

I got a new incubator. The ones I used before were the styrofoam ones from tractor and supply.. For the most part had GREAT hatches one totaling in a 40 count with no deformities. Every once in a while had unabsorbed sacks one with an undeveloped twin but nothing like missing limbs or sick birds...

I have several chickens from hatches that I have done and I want to make sure they are big enough to go in with the other. My transition cage worked very well for a while and I've moved any roosters out and into a seperate rooster run since I have roosters in my flock already. They are about 3-4...

I have a 2 month RIR chick that I noticed is very badly injured today. I sit with them daily look them over for stuff like this but the others got her very bad.
