I would like some quail chicks. I am not too picky but would like cortunix. I would like to find them along the wasatch front. Please pm me with all info including price. Thank you.

I have put 39 eggs from my own flock in to the bator. They should hatch on the 27th. I am not expecting a high hatch rate since my roo is still quite young (7 1/2 months) He does like the girls though. Does anyone else have eggs due around that time?

Our Roo (Sir Reginauld) seems to be getting his business done with many of our hens. As I have eaten many of the eggs I had checked for fertility. Many seem fertile. Now the test. I have set 30+ eggs from my own flock all sired by the lone Sir Reginauld. He is still young but is constantly...

I have two beautiful Silver Laced Polish for sale. They are great birds and very beautiful. Very friendly to humans but insist on picking on my BR. They do leave the other chickens alone. I am asking $5 each bird. If anyone is interensted just pm me.

Sir Henry is one week old today and has been drinking and eating medicated starter. He has normal (greenish with white) bm and has been fairly chirpy. Today he jumped out of his pen and we quickly returned him to his new pen (one he can't get out of). He fell right to sleep when I put...

I want to do another hatch and since I am about to embark on my second hatch would like some not so expensive eggs. I am willing to pick them up if you are along the wasatch front. I am not picky on breeds. I just want to try another hatch. If you have any please let me know. Thanks,

I was walking past the bator and bumped it hard. (My usual gracefulness) Eggs were rolling all over. These eggs were due on Thursday where one did hatch. The other three haven't. I heard one pip yesterday but nothing as of yet. Did I just kill my eggs? Should I do anything for them...

I have missprissy's flashlight and I see..."stuff". I have searched BYC and have seen other's "stuff". I want to know what you should be able to see at 8 days, 14 days, 18 days. Good and bad. I just candled my eggs and in one I see a large dark spot. In another I see an air sack. Mine are...

I have been unsuccesful keeping the humidity at 60%. I can get it to 50% and then overnight it will drop to 30%. There is always water in the well at the bottom of the LG. To get the humidity up I just poor water on the bottom and then mop up what comes out of the holes. Will my birds be OK...

I just got some EE eggs from siz8003. I had my bator (LG) up and running and after I verified the temp, I added my eggs. I am sooooo excited. Now what do I do? They are on an egg turner so I don't need to do that. Do I really just watch and wait and pray and wait and watch some more and...

I have researched many different ways to repell raccoons and heard that coyote urine will work. You just sprinkle it around the yard and raccoons, deer and the like will stay away for fear of coming across a coyote. I need to get rid of our raccoons or repel them so they will leave my hens...

I am brand spankin new to the hatching eggs thing. I have read many posts and have now bought my first bator. Now I need some very inexpensive eggs. I don't want to spend a lot until I get into a groove. If they are in Utah along the wasatch front I could even come and pick them up. If they...

I have been doing the deep litter method and each week put down Sweet PDZ and DE with the pine shavings. My DH is running electrical out there so we could have a electric vent instead of the current roof vents we have. The last time I totally cleaned out the hen house and wiped everything down...

I went to go check on the hens and ducks this morning to find my runner, Quackers, dead. Her head was mutilated but still attached and her beak was gone. She had been disemboweled and her egg was sitting right next to her. We feel horrible. She and her mate, Snowflake, were very friendly and...

I have hard boiled several of our fresh eggs..while I understand the problems with peeling I was shocked to find the texture a bit granular. It is really odd. The first batch I was not watching well and thought that perhaps I overcooked them. The second batch I was watching and still they had...

She was found today trying to hide from the 25 weekers. The bump on the tip of the tail is really bad. She has no feathers left and a very raw spot the size of the half dollar. When I picked her up she cuddled right into me. I offered her food and she quickly ate it up and drank quite well...

I received 5 hens from a local farmer That are between 16 and 20 weeks. He received them from a hatchery but did not know which breed was which. I have had them now since June. I believe they are all pullets. Please help me identify them. I have my guesses. The first is a RIR pullet. The...

Now I have the sweet PDZ, how much do you use and where do you put it? I put it in the run and the hen house and sprinkle it along with the DE. I am hoping that between the both of them, I won't notice any smell from the ducks and the flies will all disappear.

Our EE just layed her first egg. It was massively huge. Larger than our duck eggs. We ate it saturday and it was a triple yoker. Her other eggs have also been huge though not all have triple yokes. Is Cleo going to be ok. Pullet eggs are supposed to start small and get bigger...hers are...

We have to go on an egg hunt to find our duck's eggs. She won't lay them in the nest box. I found two today in the mud and one two days ago. I wonder if there is more hiding in my yard. My question is does the water test really work? If the egg sinks it is good, right? If it does really...
