    Ended Halloween Hatch-A-Long 2018

    Well... I'm out. :th The chick must've pipped and started cheeping earlier today, because my broody killed it. :hit I checked on her this morning when I let the other chickens out and everything was fine... came back an hour and a half later to find the egg pecked into a pancake. :he Needless to...

    Ended Halloween Hatch-A-Long 2018

    :barnie The last couple days my darn hen has been spending SO much time off her nest. She appears to be going many hours without sitting, and it seems like even though it's been in the mid eighties that's too long for her to be taking a break. :he Multiple times the egg has been cold to the...

    Ended Halloween Hatch-A-Long 2018

    Well this is disappointing, but not that surprising as my flock is still pretty young. Only one of my four eggs is fertile. :barnie:barnie:barnieI really hope it hatches, but with only one egg the odds aren't astronomical. And then if it does hatch I might have to scramble around to find another...

    Hey everyone! :weeI'm unexpectedly joining in with my first hatch ever. :celebrateMy BCW Polish hen Peebles went broody earlier this month and she's doing such a great job I can't bare to take them away from her.

    URGENT: Chicken trapped under plastic container for 11 hours in 95 degree weather

    Everyone, thank you so much for your advice. I was able to get a little water in her mouth and she has started drinking voraciously on her own. She seems to be recovering, and we will continue to monitor her closely and keep her cool.

    URGENT: Chicken trapped under plastic container for 11 hours in 95 degree weather

    I just went down to lock up the coop and couldn't find my Polish hen. After combing the run we discovered that she had become trapped under a plastic tub that had previously been full of water. After I let the chickens out this morning, as I was walking away I heard the tub flip but as I looked...

    Silkie with red comb and wattles - does this mean it's a roo?

    One of my two 7 week old Silkies has had a red comb for a long time now and is the only one of my five chicks that is showing development of the wattles. I know that Silkies usually have to be a lot older than 7 weeks to sex, but since mine has a red comb, does that mean it's a cockerel? Is the...

    What is this color called?

    I've been running all around the internet trying to figure out what color my EE pullet is. Is there an official name for her color? :confused:

    Help with possible Campine x Polish breeding project

    I don't have the rooster yet, it's what color I should get that I'm trying to figure out. Using the chicken calculator, it seems like no color that a Polish comes in will work, but then again I don't know how accurate the chicken calculator is. Do you have a suggestion for color? I'd be willing...

    Help with possible Campine x Polish breeding project

    I am trying to plan a cross between a Golden Campine hen and a Polish rooster, with the desired outcome being offspring that are preferably gold, have a (probably small) crest, and have at least some of the Campine barring. I have fiddling around with this chicken genetic calculator...
