Hi all. I'm not really new to the world of chickens (8ish years) but I have never incubated eggs before. I am planning on doing lots of research before incubating, and I figured that this was a good place to start. Could anybody with incubating experience help me please?
I am wanting to buy tolbunt polish chicks, and I was wondering what a fair price is for one chick. Does anybody with experience buying and/or selling have any ideas of what is a good price?
I have an over red hen, that always manages to get her saddle off. Because of this, she has developed a large sunburn all across her back. I have found that if you put coconut oil on the burn daily, then it will go away. Not to mention it softens the skin, making it easier for the quill to come...
I made a deal with my parents, if I pay for the materials for my coop, then they will help me build it. I am fully aware that this will cost several hundred$$, and i can't wait to get started. I am looking to build a coop to fit 10 or less birds in. My coop will be 6x7 (42 ft2) and the run is a...

Hi. I was looking to incubate some of my jubilee orpingtons. My plan is to use one of those mini dome incubators that hold 7 eggs. I have never done this before. Can anyone give me advice on how to go about this.
Hi everybody! Missouri doesn't have a current poultry thread, so I thought that I would start one. So have fun, communicate, and sell/trade those birds.
Last Saturday, i bought 11 chicks, and by the time that they were 6 days old 6 had died. It wasn't from dehydration or hunger, i saw all of them eating and drinking. I'm not sure how this happened but they just died. I have never had this happen before. I even had 48 chicks delivered from cackle...
I made this thread for all the jubilee lovers. I recently purchased a wonderful breeding quartet of jubilees. I want this to be a fun place to learn about these great birds.
Hi. I'm looking to build a temporary coop where I can house a trio of birds for a week or maybe two. This will only be a temporary breeding pen to place sets of chickens. Does anybody have any good ideas of how I should go about this. Feel free to post pics of just your thoughts. Thanks
