    TSC chicks!

    I have to agree, they are quite addictive. All my chickens have come from tractor supply. I have 2 three year old tetra tints-laying really well, 4 three year old EEs, again still going strong in the egg department. 1 rooster that I have no idea what he is as he was suppose to be a tetra tint...

    Last minute hatch Along 4/11/13. Anyone want to join me?

    I did not fair so lucky. It took me all month and 2 trips to the vet, just to discover my rooster is sterile. Well at least it wasn't me killing the eggs this time. Meanwhile, I think he will stay even though he can't produce unless he fights with the new rooster. He does such a good job...

    I had such terrible luck last year hatching eggs I almost wasn't going to even attempt this year. Yesterday I decided to give it one more shot. Incubator is all set up, temp is holding fast and I am going to be placing some eggs in when I get home. Not a lot, Just about a 1/2 dozen. My rooster...

    Breed help needed please. newly hatched chick. Thank you:)

    I just feel bad moving it to a brooder all by itself. The rest of its eggs(3 others) that were due to hatch with it, didn't hatch. 1 was shrink wrapped fully developed, 1 died some where around a week, and the other drowned I believe in its shell also completely developed but started pipping 3...
