    Can someone tell me what breed Hen my eggs are from

    Quote: Yeah, me too, because that's what I thought I bought at the feed store last year.......these hens are going to be seperated from the roos, so they don't get bred again but they're great great layers, laying every day where as my others in the coop have dropped down to 2-3 eggs a day out...

    Ok, here are a few pics of my hatch

    Quote: That's Peepers, he's the only survivor from my hatch 2 weeks ago. He looked so little as I had him in with my juvenile Black copper marans I got last week, but moved them into the barn yesterday and kept peepers in here until he gets a bit older, he looks huge, but is very gentle to the...

    Ok, here are a few pics of my hatch

    LOL. Thanks. It's just too easy to go out to the hen house and grab a few eggs to incubate......first thing hubby said to me when he saw that this hatch was almost done was " so how many you going to put in there tomorrow". I REALLY want to buy some Mandarin Duck eggs to hatch since those are...

    Question about dried stiff feathers on hatchling

    thanks everyone. They're doing very well, keep peering into the window and they're all over the place! One just hatched with no problem at all just a few minutes ago, came out easily, no goo, so am notsure if it was the humidity problem as they all pipped at about the same time, I don't know...

    Ok, here are a few pics of my hatch

    Here are some of my hatch, I put pine stall pellets in the bottom of the brooder like the feed store does, it makes it so much easier to clean! Aren't they adorable!! I love to sit here and just turn on the flashlight to see my incubating eggs sitting on my desk next to the computer, and right...

    Question about dried stiff feathers on hatchling

    So the two that are meandering around the incubator (I took the other 6 who hatched out earlier, as it was too crowded in there) anyhow, the two left in there look like there's dried goo on them, their shells werent as clean as the other ones who hatched, so their feathers appear dry and very...
