Hello, My neighbors house is getting foreclosed on and they have given me 4 of their OEG chickens. I currently have 6 chickens that free range, and roost in a coop at night. I have kept the 4 new guys locked up for over a week, and the second I let them out - they run back next door. Any...

I would like to buy some bantam cochin eggs also - who should I contact? Thank you!!

Good luck to you all that are patiently waiting!! My chicks are from a Rhode Island Red rooster and either a RIR hen OR a Buff Orpington hen - I really don't know... Then hens were laying in the same nest. We'll have to see what they look like as they get older. The mix should get...

Hello all, A couple of more from tonight - They are little busy bodies... I'm already ready to do this again!!! Stop me now...

Great pictures!!! Congratulations - they are adorable!

You are right, I didn't read the original post clearly enough...

Hello, I left mine in the bator for about 28 hours to allow all of the eggs to hatch. I ended up taking 7 chicks out of the bator to the brooder, and left the one that had literally just hatched in there to dry off. My understanding is to not open the bator if they have piped until they are...

LOL - okay, so I totally can relate to that!!! Thanks!!

Sorry, but I literally cannot find a post that explains what IBW means?? LOL! Thanks,

Hey LoneCowboy - can't wait to see more of your pics - they look great!!! Who else is close to hatching out there??

Congratulations!!!

Here are pics of the 7 so far... number 8 just hatched, and is still in the incubator finding his legs and drying off - he seems weak, but maybe it's just me. They are hard to photograph...LOL! I had to move their heat light out of the way to take a few pics... but you get the idea...

Just talked to my better half - he is home today - and lucky number 7 is hatching right now!! We'll see what happens with number 8. I'll take pics when I get home - they are SO cute!! Thanks,

Woke up this morning to SIX chicks - seem to be healthy, active, and VERY loud - LOL! Two eggs left - we'll see what happens today. I will post pics when I get home from work this evening. Thanks everyone!!

Still learning here - what is a water wiggler? Thanks!

Okay - I pulled the vent plug - I guess they will need the oxygen, and I don't want to deprive them. Two of the oher eggs are rocking around now - so hopefully soon they will hatch too.

I do not have a hygro - this was a total spur of the moment "test hatch" using eggs from my chickens. I really did not expect any of them to hatch!! Here is a pic I just took - he seems very interested in movement and light. I think the flash freaked him out!

There is no condensataion on the bator window - so maybe I will leave well enough alone until the others start hatching. The new peep seems to "nap" alot - is this normal? This is the first time I have ever done this, so I don't have any idea what is normal behavior. I hope at least one...

Thanks - they are either RIRs or a RIR/Buff Orpington cross. Does anyone know if I should pull the vent plug on the bator? Or do I wait for more to hatch? I have been skimming the posts, and could not find any info on when to pull the plug out. Thanks!!

Here is the first chick hatched... I am so proud of myself!!
