Thank you. One other question, once you put the eggs in the incubator and then candle them at day 7, if they are fertilized and no development do you throw the eggs away? Or are they still okay to put in frig to eat? I wouldn't think they would be good still after that. My biggest thing since I...

I have decided that I am going to give it a try on hatching eggs from my chickens. I had an incubator given to me so I want to see if I have any luck. But I have never hatched before so I was wondering if anyone can answer some of my uncertain questions. I would appreciate it! 1. I have read...

I have 2 black leghorns and 2 barred leghorns that are 13 weeks old. I had 2 light brahmas given to me which are about 9 weeks old. I introduced the light brahmas to the other hens and they don't seem to be getting along at all. Does anyone know if they will adjust and get along with each other...

Thank you very much.

I had the same thing this time and also last year one turned out to be a male. The only was I figured it out was the red comb grew out a lot faster than the other chicks and it started make different sounds.

I live in Western Colorado. It has been getting in the 80's during the day and stays pretty warm outside.

I just bought 6 baby chicks. They are black leghorns. They are 2 to 3 weeks old. The lady that sold them to me told me that I am not supposed to use a heat lamp at all on them. My last white rock hens, I used a heat lamp on them for several weeks but this lady told me not to use a heat lamp on...

Last week I was getting usually 7 to 8 eggs out of my 11 hens and now have not gotten one egg for this last week! I don't know if it's cause of the cold weather or what!

So they won't lay at all during the winter?
