Well this year was a wash in the hatching side of things. I have some of Jeremy Woeples barred rocks and all of the eggs died. I have 10 hens and 2 roo's so fertility shouldn't be the problem. All of the hens seemed to tend to their nest well, only leaving for a few minutes. I feed them good...

Well I went through the coop and no chicks and no place where any thing could have gotten in. And now she is down to two eggs in the nest. So I guess no chicks this time . She is a very broody hen so I am sure she will try again.

My chicks haven't hatched yet. I may have had my time line wrong. When she got out of the nest this morning i noticed that there are only 4 eggs left in the nest. No eggs have been kicked out. On further inspection of the nest I saw egg shell pieces. Is it possible that she is eating the dead...

Some time this week I should have chicks. My hen is almost 11 months old and her first clutch. I have been listening for chirping from the nest and have looked at the eggs when she gets out for food and water. which she does every morning when i bring fresh water. I hear nothing and have not...

OK I will give it a try.. Thank you.

I have a hen that was hurt and I had to bring her in until she could heal. She was away from her flock for about two weeks. When I put her back with her flock they turned on her, ripping out the new feathers and making her bleed. She was raised with them. Why are they doing this and how can I...

He is one of Jeremy Woeppel birds.It's ok if he isn't show quality, I don't show anyway. I just enjoy the eggs and meat. Thanks Walt.

Tell me what you think of this roo. He is 16 weeks old, his name is Mouth. He has a little tail damage courtesy of my dog. But the roo did start it.

Thank you all for your responses. I appreciate your honest answers and opinions.

Can some one help me with some thing. I've been looking to ad more varieties of American dual purpose birds to my flock. I'm looking for birds that lay decent amounts of eggs, meaty and broody, so they hatch their eggs them selves. But it seems most breeders are breading out broodiness. Making...

I bought 20 Barred Rock chicks from Jeremy Woeppel. I got them about 2 weeks ago, when I went to pick them up I noticed he had put 5 New Hampshire chicks in with the BR's. All of the chicks made it happy and healthy. The chicks are doing great eating more every day. It is amazing how fast the...

A story for all. Last week some neighborhood kids found a small gosling. When I found this out I took it from them and went to the spot where they found it. When I could not locate the chicks mother I decided to take the chick to the lake, which is only about 50 yds from my house. I figured...

I should be getting my first pure bred barred rocks from Jeremy Woeppel next week some time. I am excited to be getting birds of this quality. And can't wait to see how they turn out. I just got an adult pair of pure bred BO's and 3 pullet off spring and could not believe the size difference...

Thanks Scott. I heard that pure breeds feather out slower. Can't wait to get my chicks. This is my first Standard bred bird.

Does anyone here have BR's from Jeremy Woepel from XW Poultry Ranch. I ordered some chicks from him. I was just wondering if anyone has any pics of birds they bought from him. Curious how the chicks will turn out.
