This one is in the house but can hear my other chickens making noises outside, she seems happy enough. I'm incubating some more so if I cant find her a friend before then atleast she will have some eventually

Unfortunately not in my area, no one has them anywhere near me. I've tries finding her any breed of chick for company aswel but no one is hatching. She seems happy enough, but I will keep searching bless her.

Buff orpington

Here the little cutie is

That's lucky you found someone so close. They are buff orpingtons, no one anywhere near me has any. Atleast I got 1 little baby, very sad to see it on it's own though. Can't find any chicks for sale that I could get to keep her company. The trouble of living in the middle of no where

I will have to look that up. This is the only one out of 6 that wasn't completely scrambled

Haha, I feel mean calling her an it, she might well be a he but never mind

She's hatched

Yes, it was the only egg that made it to lock down. I'm not buying shipped eggs again that's for sure

Well it's day 21 and she has pipped and is working away nicely at the hole. So excited

Thank you for the reply, it has been turned several times a day, so I have taken your advice and placed it in an egg carton Thank you

Hi, my one little survivor has made it to day 17, she has a saddle shaped air cell, do I still lie her down flat for lockdown tomorrow? A friend suggested putting it in an egg carton to keep it upright? It's been incubated upright so far, but not sure how to approach lockdown with it. Thanks

Thank you, so would I need a dark rooster for the dark hens? Thanks

Hi, ive got my first brahma's and am wanting to hatch some in spring when they start laying. But firstly I was wondering can I breed this rooster to these hens (2 are still chicks so not laying yet) and get standard colours? Not the leghorn obviously Thanks

Thank you, I will do that.
