    Bantam breeds?

    Any advice for keeping them friendly? I JUST culled my roo because he was a literal demon and nothing worked on making him friendly. I have four Orpington hens. And they’re all getting along well, I don’t mind having freeloading roosters but I also need to be able to work in the run without...

    Long period between eggs hatching?

    Hey y’all, This is my first time successfully incubating. I started with 7 viable eggs. While candling I accidentally cracked one egg (I felt horrible, it was a total accident) so I had 6 eggs total incubating. I’m incubating Buff Orpington eggs from my existing flock. My temps and humidity have...
