The leghorn and the barred rock hatched April 11 and the copper maran is a few weeks younger - they are very friendly with the hens so if...

    Can a standard size chicken hatch from a small egg?

    Hi I purchased Polish eggs on ebay and they were listed as standard Polish but when they arrived today just 6 of the 18 eggs are normal size - the other 12 vary in size from small to 1 very small. Could the layers just be new to laying and that is why the eggs are small? Could they still...

    Killing, Plucking, Eviscerating, & Cutting Up Your Chicken - Graphic!

    I am very grateful also - we have a rooster (not permitted in our town) and I told hubby if I knew how to butcher him I would as he has led a wonderful life and I can't rehome him (no takers to date).......this tutorial is excellent for newbies to learn this important skill.

    Help with a broody - her eggs got eaten !

    I'm new to chickens so learning as we go - unfortunately my broody is paying the price. She is a large cochin and a determined mother - in March she went broody - purchased a dozen fertile eggs (we can't have roosters in our town) and after day 25 it was obvious she was unsuccessful. Luckily...

    Will my chickens use a really huge run?

    we have a 20x20 dog panel run and if I could convince hubby to get some more dog runs and expand I would in a second - they use every bit and we let them out for an hour or so in the evening to range and they line up and wait at the gate calling us to let them out

    my silver spangled hamburg will not stay inside our 6 foot high run and flies high into the trees to roost at night - she even looks more like a bird than a chicken....
