    What breed do these look like?

    No, he doesn't. Someone said that it looks like a blue Australorp, so I googled pictures and he really does look like one :) . :jumpy

    First Time Incubating Chicks

    So recently, i've really been wanting to incubate chicks. Today i'm getting an incubator from amazon and soon after getting eggs. The types i'm trying to get are Lavender Orpingtons Ayam Cemani (Hopefully) Delaware Chickens Plymouth rock chickens. Hoping they all hatch :) If anyone has any...

    I need opinions

    So I remembered my grandpa had a small coop-like thing for chicks to be raised in. It's been used tons of times for raising newly hatched chicks. It has a door that has a lock too high for a raccoon to get it. There's no possible way that any animals can dig under it. It also has heating lamps...

    I can also put a cloth over the cage, to make sure the chicks will be extra safe. :)

    I'll try to get some hardware cloth. Raccoons are a big threat. They come to my house very often, but i'm sure they won't be able to get the chicks.

    The crate I have is plastic on three sides, the bottom is covered so no animals would be able to dig, and the little door is made of strong metal. Is that good? And it would have a fence around it.

    I have all of those things. I'd cover the top, and make sure the fence is secure enough so no predators would get in.

    The fence would only be temporary. I could possibly put a little fence like thing on the top. It'd work like a roof so hawks wouldn't get in.

    I need opinions

    Just a thought... I have a chicken who lays eggs and then eats them soon after. I really want to save some of the eggs :( . I would put them in a shelter at night so no animals could find their way in. But I would keep them in a box once they first hatch.

    I need opinions

    Is it possible to just fence the chickens in, with shelter of course? Just while i'm working on getting a coop set up. And how many chickens do you suggest me getting?

    16 eggs, 3 species, 1 homemade incubator: Will it be done?

    Wow! That's so awesome! How did you make the homemade incubator? Sound like a good idea. I've got a hen who eats her own eggs, so it'd be nice to be able to incubate them.

    What do I do?

    So next door my grandpa has a Rooster and a hen. The hen lays eggs, then soon after, eats them. I was thinking about getting an incubator and hatching one or two, but I don't have a coop. My idea was to keep it in a box while it's small, and then put it in a fence with a old dog house and cover...
