I tried searching the forums but couldn't find one to help. I have a broody Australorp that I put 11 fertilized eggs under. She has been a very good mama-to-be. It is day 24 and no chicks, holes or any signs of hatching. I haven't candled them in a few days but most were viable at 15 days and...

Lucky number 848!

This cutie is supposed to be a midnight majestic maran. My chicken sister got one too and hers looks like a maran but not mine. Maybe an Easter egger? Any ideas on what Drumstick may be?

Never mind. We found a home for him! Thanks for your help.

Okay, we caught him! Trapped him in the chicken run while he was eating hen scratch. (Wyle E Coyote style). Now what? There are some peafowl that hang out by a creek. Would he be okay if we left him there? I have no idea what to do with him!

Try Craigslist, I was able to find a few people who had hard to find chicks not normally seen at the feed store.

I am having a similar problem. I want to build a coop for my three girls but I'm overwhelmed and an added time constraint doesn't make me feel any better! Do I buy a cheap prefab one now and build one later? Do I just drop all my other responsibilities and throw one together on a weekend? So...

Hi all! I am excited to be a new mama to three chicks. Yesterday we got a Rhode Island Red, Buff Orpington and a Brown Leghorn. I had chickens when I lived with my parents but this is my first time having them as an adult. BYC has been a huge wealth of info setting up my brooder and I'm...
