Wanted standard and bantam Cornish hatching eggs from any color parents white, dark or anything in between. Ideally I would like to have the possibility of hatching a few WLRs. I am not in need of show birds, and I cannot spend a great deal of money to get them, but I do want birds that are a...

Quote: Hi Max, Welcome! We are almost neighbors. I live in "Over the Hump" in Pahrump.

Quote: Congratulations!

Quote: I really appreciate the offer, but I live on the southern end of the state near Las Vegas. If it will be okay, I guess I'll just have to deal. My Husband just took a mechanical pool toy from our Grandson's toy box and wrapped it in felt. When we turn it on, it gently flops up and down...

Has anyone here ever raised a single chick? I have a story to tell, then I could use some advice if anyone can provide it. I have four Buff Orpingtons. I thought they were all hens for the first year, then one of them crowed. Looks like a hen but crows. Anyway, he crowed about three times in...

Quote: Congrats on the eggs. Hope you have a good hatch. I put a dozen in the bator on the first. I already have 10 nice youngsters (all blacks). It is a bit early to tell yet how they will fill out, but they seem to have good color and personality traits. I got lucky and ended up with 2...

Quote: Oohh! I love that idea. I'll be back tomorrow to find out how you all come to the details, and you can count me in. Cept, I really must get some sleep now. I do have a really easy and delicious recipe for settlers beans that are out of this world good. I don't generally even like...

Quote: Sorry Lacey, I am already up past my bedtime. I am a night owl at heart, but I'm homeschooling my grandson and need to get up at a decent time to get the cow, horses and chickens fed, so we can get started on his lessons.

Quote: Yep! I'd be there helping if I lived close enough. My daughter makes them like, that and I just love them.

Quote: You have a right to be mad. The next time let them beg for it and then tell them to go fend for themselves. The kicker is that they didn't even bother to put anything away, so it could be eaten later.

I set 20 A&Ms at 12:00 Noon. I know it isn't as many as many of you are hatching, but I have had two failed hatches this summer. I think they were heat related, but don't know, so I only bought a small number of eggs to try this time around. I had sort of hung up on the whole hatching idea until...

Quote: Awesome! I need to get on the stick then cause our fair is held in Early October, which is just around the corner. Aiden really wants to show him off. He is very proud of him. Can u post a pic of ur Chicken lol im intrested in what he looks like This is the first time I have ever...

Quote: Goodness! It must be a thing with some men. Mine acted the same way the first time. Then he picked one of the peeps up, and it was all over. I think he enjoys them more than anyone else in the house. Welcome to the fun. You and your family will have a lot of fun with this experience.
