    Shell-less eggs

    Hey yall, so I posted a couple weeks back about one of my hens having an egg pop on it's way out if my hen. I have her inside as I wanted to watch to make sure she didn't get an infection. She had a few soaks in an Epsom bath, and she seems fine. The problem is that she still isn't forming a...

    Failed to pass soft egg

    Yea, but when their oyster shells feeder gets knocked over, they won't eat it off the ground. Apparently, they're too good for that

    Failed to pass soft egg

    I have a 1 year old EE who looks like a shell-less egg busted on the way out. I noticed she didn't get down from the roosting bars this evening when I refilled their feed bucket. Her tail was lowered, so I took a look under it. It looked like some runny poo was on a couple feathers, and...

    Broody hen

    I've got a hen who should have some eggs hatching later this week (I'm looking for some chicks hatching near their date to add a few more since 6 out of 12 had life but out of those 6, 3 were quitters, but that's besides the point). I have another hen who just went broody yesterday (😩), will the...

    Ended Official BYC 2023 Summer Fair Contest—Standard-Bred Chicken Show

    Yay! Donnie is honored by being picked! He appreciates it, but didn't appreciate the ridiculous summer heat. 😂 (he was so dirty from trying to stay cool)

    Mine was purely natural & unintentional. I don't have an incubator. I'd look at Amazon & tractor supply! I do know that if you want a low fuss one, get a rotating. If you don’t you'll have to go in like once a day to rotate the eggs by hand

They were all supposed to be a out 2 weeks (because I wanted them to be about the same age as my flock hatched chicks) the only one that I know for sure wasn't the same age was my polish which was 2 weeks older (so 4 weeks) o do feel like he said the...

    Silkie sexing

    Some of our flock from last year. I haven't got any recent flock pictures. Unfortunately, we lost out reds (except one rhode island) due to the ridiculous heat wave this summer. We're putting in fans & such before next summer. I was distraught finding 2 in one day. We gave an area that our ac...

    Silkie sexing

    Beautiful! Sorry, my thread is glitching out on me & it wasn't showing my last reply. 🤦‍♀️ these are the 4 we allowed our welsummer (who we bought as an EE) to hatch out. She was our last chicken to lay & first to go broody. She hatched one of her own, a buff orpington egg, EE egg, & black...
