I am getting several breeds to add to my flock. I have a nice 12 x 16 building we have not really used. I am going to turn it into my chicken coop. The front has 2 windows and a door in the middle (thats on one of the 16 sides) I am thinking the back 16ft section I could do four 4ft by ...

I just bought a Cemani hen. I have a rooster I am going to put her with. She was with another rooster of another breed and has been laying. How long after she is with my Cremani rooster would you say I am getting pure Cremani eggs and no longer anything from the previous bird.

So I am getting ready to have my first hatch. Lockdown will be Wednesday night. Their 21 day will be Friday night. My question is: When do you say their not going to hatch? I have 14 babies moving in the egg and appearing normal at this point. I will lock them down and then await hatching...

I have had chicks from TSC, didn't lose not even one. I order day old babies to be mailed. They were in transit only 1 day. 1 dead on arrival, 1 died a day later, then another a day later ( today ). am I doing something wrong? They are on Chick crumbles (and eating well from appearances)...

So I candled everyone today. See veins in the bottom of all of the eggs but one. It appears clear. We are on day 5, should I take that egg out and say its not going to develop or hold out a little longer?

So I have read NPIP forms on what they test for, what it is used for. My question is what is required for the bids as far as a small hobby breeder starting out but wanting to be able to get NPIP. Is there a minimum flock number requirement?

1st . I have beautiful Swedish Orust Chickens directly from GFF last year. My hens have a 95% fertility rate (as of last months eggs I checked). I am selling eggs $5 each or a dozen for $50. You can also mix and match with our other breeds. 2nd I have Lovely Lavender Orpington hatching...

I am new to chickens only owning them a year. I have several first time layers (8 to be exact) I have several roosters and they seem to be doing their job fine. When a hen starts laying are the eggs good to go ahead and start hatching or do you wait for a few weeks? I assume they should be...

Will post pic in next post. I got an egg today covered in fresh bright red blood. I do have some hens that are new layers so I didn't know if this possibly could just be from a new layer or if I should watch for something else. Stools and demeanor in the coop seem perfectly normal.

So I know their not native to the USA... So my question is would they nest in spring as the Mute swan would?
