    Who is pipping and waiting right now??

    This is our first hatch...had several with pips on day 21 (yesterday). Two had hatched by 8 AM and nothing since then...at all. We left the two babies in the incubator until this morning and they walked, bumped, moved the others. Would that have hurt them? How long should we wait before we...

    Broody Hens Driving Me Nuts!

    I would love for the "old-timers" to speak up about the hen moving the egg under her wing. I don't see anyway that the egg was moved by a human because the hen pecks you if you try to get under her. I am really concerned about the addition of new eggs on a daily basis by those hens that get...

    Broody Hens Driving Me Nuts!

    We have ten hens in a coop with four nest boxes...same size each.. but two on top of the other two. The hens hate to lay in any nest other than the bottom left nest box. They will stand in line till one hen leaves to get to that box. Last Tuesday, one of the hens was sitting in the nest box...

    Nothing is more fun than chickens and kids!!!

    My 7 year old Grandson LOVES our roosters. We were preparing for our first show at the Parish fair in Natchitoches, LA. We were planning to take our Rhode Island Red Rooster but noticed that he had 6 points on his comb instead of 5. We at first thought it would disqualified but later realized...

    Sick Chicken from Trade Days at Canton, TX

    Thanks to all of you for your helpful advice. My hubby and I will definitely follow through on the suggestions for supplements, worming, yogurt, etc. The hens, especially the wyandottes, are really very pretty. I will also pass the word along about Canton. I have good luck with Craig's List...

    Warning! Canton, TX trade days

    Just want to give folks a heads up that you need to be very careful about buying birds in Canton, TX. I saw lots of folks that had nice chickens that appeared very well cared for...unfortunately for me...they did not have the breed that I wanted. I bought from a dealer that had a lot of birds...

    Sick Chicken from Trade Days at Canton, TX

    Well, I am SO glad that this newby read up on introducing new birds to the flock before getting more. About two weeks ago, we went to the Canton, TX trade days. I was told this was a good place to find chickens of all types and since there aren't many breeders that I know about in Central...
