    Meyer Hatchery Chicken pics anyone??

    I have some pictures of the birds I ordered last year. The white cochins were hatched in May '15. The first two pics are from when they were younger over the summer. The rest of the pictures of them were taken a few days ago.

    Speckled Sussex Hatchery Birds - Where did you get yours?

    I got my Speckled Sussex girls from Welp in April 2014. Here is all 4 of them two have a lot of white, two don't. The one in the middle that has the most white actually looked identical to her sister right below her until after her first adult molt. Then she gained a ton more white, mostly...

    Broody Hen Thread!

    I swear broodiness is a communicable disease, lol. The wire cage works really well. I have broken 3 and am attempting to break another 4, while 6 are sitting on eggs (some fake) and three more are finally back to being normal and have abandoned their chicks as old enough to take care of...

    Broody Hen Thread!

    My Partridge Plymouth Rock hen is my first hen to seriously attempt brooding and I heard 3 of the 5 eggs chirping yesterday and today one had pipped and taken a decent amount of shell off the egg. The broody got off the nest though to run around for about 20 minutes outside, I was a little...
