I’ve been keeping chickens for 14 years and this is the first time I’ve seen this. I lost the chicken the other day. Still don’t know why, but I think she might’ve been egg bound. There were no respiratory issues. Three days later, I have a chicken (four years old) who is panting. The others are...

Today is day 17 and the first two of our eggs have hatched! It's our first time incubating...and these are our own eggs. So, I'm feeling pretty proud! Crossing fingers that the others hatch as well. We had twenty three eggs total in the incubator. Yippee!

Already posted this in the quail forum, but not getting much of a response. We set up Our Hovabator Genesis incubator today. Put water in channel 1 and let it run for an hour. The humidity was at 65% so we took the red plug out hoping for it to go down. Let that run for two hours, and it was...

We set up our Hovabator today. Let it run for one hour. Temp is 100.0 but humidity is 65%. How can I lower it for incubation? Thanks!

This one week old chick was listed as a buff Brahma. But, it's feathers are too dark. Could it be another type of Brahma? Or is it a different breed all together? Thanks!

Does anyone in Central Florida want to start an Organic feed co-op?

So excited! We went to the new Rural King close to home today and got some amazing new chicks! We got an Ancona, a Blue Andalusian, a Silver Laced Wyandotte, a Buff Brahma and one more Amerucana. They also had Sicilian Buttercups, Polish and Black Astralorps, but five was enough. I've never...

The sign at Rural King said they were blue Cochins, but I think it's a buff. 2 weeks old. Thoughts? Thanks!

Picked up two RIR and two silkies today. Are these white silkies? Thanks!

I bought five pullets at Rural King last weekend. One was supposed to be a blue Cochin, but it's obvious that they gave me a different breed. Any ideas? Thanks!

We are looking to buy a small incubator for chicken and quail eggs. What type do you use or recommend? Anyone use a Hova-bator 1602N (eBay)? Thoughts on this model? Thank you!

My favorite four-year old chicken seems to be going downhill. She sleeps on the ground and sits on the ground all day. Doesn't move around much. If she does go outside the run, she just sits under an orange tree and stares into space. Don't think she is eating or drinking much. Could it just...

I have a chick that is five weeks old and I thought it was a welsummer or barnevelder, but it has dark gray legs. They are much darker than my EEs legs. Is it possible? Do any dark brown egg layers have gray legs?

Last week, we kept finding one egg a day in the yard, broken open and partially eaten. Saw a crow flying out of the coop and figured that was the culprit. Today, all my eggs were stolen...including one wooden egg! Anyone else have this issue and what did you do about it? Guess we will have to...

My chickens are quarantined into the back of my yard by a four foot tall fence. The last two afternoons, I have found an egg in the middle of the yard that they don't have access to. There is a hole (the size of a quarter) on the side of the egg with little chipped pieces on the ground. But...

I have 16 hens. Four are 4 years old and twelve are 7 months old. Before last week, we were getting 14-15 eggs a day. We closed off the coop they were laying in last week to move the 3-week olds outside. They have a nesting box that is not as private, but all we have right now. Since then, we...
