    Houdans

    So I started a search last year to find mottled Houdan eggs. Boy, are they hard to find. I did find a place that will ship fertile eggs but last year when I had ordered (December) the Houdans werent laying anymore, so they sent me a crested variety pack instead per my request.. Out of that hatch...

    Sultan Questions

    We have one sultan, standard size, which is still a fairly small chicken compared to our others. She is an odd little "duck". Always sleeps under a Cochins wing, and honks like a duck . She is fairly friendly but also a little flighty as well. She is one of our best layers steadily producing...

    Hens are laying now, most eggs fertile...

    Fred's Hens : If you want to save some of that rooster's DNA, you should gather the egss over an 8-10 period, keep them cool, pointy end down. Go for a hatch. If you only have 16 eggs and only 6 produce live chicks, well.. that is that. I suspect you are under the gun to say goodbye to the...

    Hens are laying now, most eggs fertile...

    hi to all. My hens have been laying for about two months now. We have a roo who was hatched in december and many of the eggs appear fertile. In your opinion, how old should my laying hens be before I try and hatch some of their eggs. The hens lay three a day and I need to rehome the roo due to...

    Need advice on odor issue

    This is a great question. I've been worried about the same thing. I wonder about the sand method. Is it easier to clean up or just have a more deodorizing quality?

    So I got three new Barnevelders out of 14 eggs, that were shipped in freezing cold weather. I totally trust the breeder. Her packaging was outstanding. I am very happy with them. They were hatched last Thursday. As you guys all know, shipped eggs are always an iffy proposition, so any live...

    FEBRUARY Hatch-A-Long, come join in!!

    Quote: How long do you wait? I've read of people saying they have day 25 hatches commonly. I'll probably wait until then, another 2 days for me, just to see what happens. of the 3 unhatched, 2 were alive but smaller than the rest on day 18, and the other one appeared the same as the others...

    FEBRUARY Hatch-A-Long, come join in!!

    3 out of 10 hatched yesterday! Very cute little fuzzies. Quick question though, do you guys have split hatches happen? Meaning several pip and zip the first day and then a day passes with no action in any of the eggs? I always wonder if the soccer team that gets born first messes with my...

    Please help, hen with badly pecked head and falling over

    You guys are the BEST! Thank you so much for the information about your own head injured chicks. I'm still stunned at what they can do to each other. I think it was an EE hen who started this bullying. She's very possessive of her Roos. I hesitate to say she seems better today as that always...

    Grats to all the new chick hatchers. Looks like this group is getting some really good hatches! I'm on day 19 and I remember now what this waiting is like... Time to start compulsively cleaning... Maybe I will go and look one more time...
