    Setting Eggs Sept. 24th-Oct. 4th-Last Hatch of the Year. Anyone care to join me?

    Sounds like there are quite a few silkies being hatched out this run, I think? They are lovely. One of the breeders I received my eggs from, sent me an extra four eggs that look nothing like any of the others and they are larger. But, she said all of the eggs have a 50% chance to hatch a...

    Thank you for those who replied. I'm not returning to that thread, nor am I returning to the other areas of the forum. I couldn't resist being back to THIS specific thread when I found out from a very nice member who gave me specific instructions on how to log in, go to another member's page...

    The "problem" with the member has been remedied. All it took was a nice person explaining to me how to use the Block feature we have available to us here and how to use it.

    which would show better?

    Calling my opinion "ridiculous" is rude. I have my inexperienced opinion and you have your million dollar chicken knowledge - doesn't mean I'm ridiculous nor does it mean my opinions are ridiculous...it means that they are mine and I'm entitled to them, as are you. You're a rude person and...

    Blinkin Ordinances Stink

    Hi, I realize everyone should be respectful of their neighbor(s), and that there is a reason "city people" are city people...and not farm people. However - it doesn't seem right to me that we cannot have any roosters due to "noise ordinances and noise prevention" out of "respect" for our...

    What day do the embryos start generating their own heat?

    Chickens begin creating their own heat from the moment of fertilization and yes, it does affect the temperature inside the incubator. However, to what degree is based on too many variables that are all different with every single hatch - so you'd never be able to put a blanket statement on how...

    I would really love to have eggs again.... Help..

    Well, you added new info. hehe Do you have hay bales in your yard where they are free ranging? Tall grass somewhere? I mean - could they have their own preferred nesting area somewhere they made themselves instead of continuing to use the nesting boxes? Hens do that a lot. Do you have...

    I would really love to have eggs again.... Help..

    Disclaimer: I'm a chicken newbie and everything I say should be taken with a grain of salt. Is there any possibility that all 12 of them could have gone broody? Are they in their nesting boxes a lot more than what is normal? Broody hens won't lay eggs (unless they're weird broody hens)...

    Vitamin A Deficiency

    I've read a lot of posts on the forum about chickens with boogery eyes, crusty beak, crusty eyes. Some cull chickens that seem to have some sort of upper respiratory infection, when sometimes it started as a vitamin deficiency that could have been prevented. ..(just wanted to post the link in...

    What could this be -- chickens dead and missing.

    This has been driving me up a wall since I read it. ...and they're not even my chickens, I can't imagine what you must feel. I would assume sickness, except I'm sure that was the first thing you thought of - and the chickens were cleared of sickness (an ailment of some sort instead of a...

    which would show better?

    I don't think it's about whether or not they are worth showing or not worth showing...or show quality or not show quality. What matters is if YOU have fun doing it. If you don't get a ribbon to hang on your wall, a trophy to put on a shelf or a wad of money to bank? - so what - did you have...

    Why can't I start incubating them?

    Temp is 99.4 (and has been even for a long while) Humidity is 58% Eggs arrived today around 1pm on a day that was between 70 and 75 degrees all day long. Their location yesterday (in transit) was also the same temp. They were also packaged wide end up and delivered wide end up in a box that...

    What could this be -- chickens dead and missing.

    I say this on all my posts so it's probably getting repetitive, but I feel it's important. I am brand new to raising chickens and anything I say should be taken with a grain of salt. I'm very sorry about your chickens and your neighbor's chickens. This will sound crazy and you'll think I'm...
