    Hatching shipped Jersey Giants

    Hi there, In the post this morning I received my 6 Jersey Giant eggs. I'm using a Brinscall mini advance incubator (but it's an old ish one not one of the new ones) I'm going to let the eggs sit until I get home from work tomorrow at about four pm. Is there anything I need to check on the eggs...

    What breed is my chick

    I will see if I can get some better ones tomorrow, I've only got a full body pic of when it was younger. I bought them from an auction in Suffolk

    What breed is my chick

    Hi there. A couple of weeks ago I bought a mixed bunch of chicks. This one is about three weeks old and I was just wondering what breed it could be?

    What breed is my white/blonde hen?

    Luckily she has been kept seperate from the main coop and other chickens. I will definitely keep an eye on the rest of them just incase though!

    What breed is my white/blonde hen?

    That's a big incentive to get It done then! How long will she need to be bathed for? Will one session help her to get rid of them or may she need it done several times? Would I be able to wrap her up in a towel to keep her calm? Will the Vaseline need to be applied more than once?

    I take it these mites are contagious? Would the chicks be at risk of getting them? Fortunately she is not with the main flock!

    I'll give it a go but I don't think she will let me.

    What breed is my white/blonde hen?

    There are so many different looking chicks would it be possible for her to produce such different looking birds?

    What breed is my white/blonde hen?

    Smaller fencing is another project for this weekend. I went to an auction with the intention of buying adult birds so I was not prepared for chicks, which meant a drive to the pet shop when I got back.

    What breed is my white/blonde hen?

    Her legs do look terrible I noticed today but I only just bought her. What can I do to help her legs? She's not too keen on me going near her yet but I am building up her trust? Do you think she's in any pain? I don't really know anything but chicken diseases or prevention but I don't want them...
