    My first Hatch - 100% Hatch so far!!!

    yes you are right about it. there are lots of breeds which have chicks looking same at this age. I used HOVA-BATOR INCUBATOR 1602N with 1611 EGG TURNER. Bought it off ebay and followed the instructions off the web. For humidity, I use to put a glass of water each twice a week (as instructed on...

    My first Hatch - 100% Hatch so far!!!

    Thanks. Indeed they are. I even filmed the first one hatching out of egg. Is there a specific reason for not counting them until they completely hatch? what about breeds? Can you identify their breeds by their colorings?

    My first Hatch - 100% Hatch so far!!!

More eggs have cracks on them. Hopefully all of them will be hatching. Sharing some of their pics. Can anyone...

    chickens laying in the evening???

    It's normal. They can lay at any time during the day. Depends on their frequency of laying. For example one of my hens lay egg one day and then next day she takes off. So, whenever she lays it's in the morning. The other one lays 2 eggs for 2 consecutive days and then takes one day off. So, when...

    3 year old rooster sick

    The symptoms look like that of a sick rooster. He must be suffering from something, either disease or had a fight with other rooster. You have to find out. If you don't have any other roosters then it must be sickness. Keep him separate from the flock for some days till he gets fit. And if you...

    Laying hens 2 years and older.

    Hens don't stop laying after 2 years of age. It varies from breed to breed, but it is always better to start up with fresh and young hens who have never laid before to get maximum results. You can go for Rhode Island Reds. They are the best brown egg layers. 2 year age is too early for them to...

    Introducing new chicks to old ones

    Don't try this. Specially with the age difference they have. Surely, the big ones are gonna kill those innocent chicks. Even if they might not, still there is a danger of injuring those chicks. I'd say, wait for them to grow at least the same size as the big ones and then introduce them into the...

    Fighting roosters

    If the roosters have been brought up together they are most likely to make a compromise. But the only problem will be the hens. Each one of them will want to have most hens. I remember my first flock of chickens raised in 2001 they were Rhode Island Reds. there were 3 roosters and 6 hens. As...

    Texas

    Hey guys, I live in North Houston. I have a Shamo Rooster, 3 buff orpington hens and 1 mixed breed black hen. Recently I ordered some different chicks from mcmurray (different breeds). Got 18 of them and recently got 10 shamo chicks too. It's nice to see lots of Texans in this forum.
