    Creating the Corvalla! A chicken that looks like a crow

    Do these pullets have a crow head? I’m starting my own line of Black Copper Marans and wondering what that would look like. I want to make sure I don’t use any with a crow head in my breeding program.

    Incubator experts please help!

    Sorry if I wasn’t clear enough enough in my post, I really appreciate your advice! The temp in the 1602n varies depending on where I have the thermometer. Around the edges under the heating element the temperature will rise and fall from about 99.5 and up to 101.5 or 102. So I’m guessing the...

    Incubator experts please help!

    If I had the money I would. I’ve heard so many good things about Brisnea. The only reason why I even bought these hatching eggs was because I was counting on the fan kit to make the temps more stable in the 1602n. This would be my first time hatching with it. You said not to set it to 102...

    Incubator experts please help!

    This is going to be a long question but I’d be very grateful if you stuck around to the end and offered your advice. Where do I even start? I purchased 3 dozen BCM Marans hatching eggs for $200 from a fantastic breeder a couple weeks ago. They are currently on day 17 and doing pretty good...

    Breezy bird farm reviews?

    I’m from BC so I prefer local but I’m definitely willing to ship the right eggs. I’ve been researching and trying to find a good BCM breeder near me for months and I haven’t had much luck. I’ll PM you, I’d love to check this breeder out

    Breezy bird farm reviews?

    I know it’s old but I’m so glad that I found this thread. I was just about to order some BCM hatching eggs from Breezy Bird Farm but I’m starting rethink my decision now…

    1 week old chicks dying (7 deaths so far!)

    Thank you… it’s been a couple months now but I’m still not over the loss. Im looking to start over again with some quality BCM hatching eggs, so if anyone here knows of a local breeder in B.C. Canada that has them then please let me know! As for the testing, I went to Abbotsford veterinary...

    It ended up being MG and MS. I had to cull my entire flock and I’m starting over 😞

    Looking for local BCM hatching eggs in CANADA

    Hi everyone! I’m looking to invest in some quality BCM hatching eggs preferably local to where I live but I’m willing to pay for shipped eggs as well if they meet my standards. I live in lower mainland area in BC Canada. I found one breeder on Vancouver island called “Elaine’s fertilized eggs”...

    BCM egg genetics question

    Thanks so much for all that info, it was very helpful! I just wanted to make sure that the dark egg genetics would get passed on even if the current eggs from the hens are lighter than what they were a couple years ago. Anyhow, thank you again!

    BCM egg genetics question

    Around 2 months ago my chickens got infected with mycoplasma and I had to cull the entire flock. Since then I’ve decided I’m finally ready to start over again with a fresh batch of BCMs! I have some experience with the breed but I’m still a little unsure about how the egg colour genetics work...

    1 week old chicks dying (7 deaths so far!)

    Really? I would consider doing a test through them if the shipping isn’t too expensive.

    I live in Canada unfortunately so that’s not an option :(

    1 week old chicks dying (7 deaths so far!)

    The only symptoms my flock has had were coughing/sneezing, nasal discharge, and foamy eyes rarely. I know mycoplasma can be passed on to chicks through the egg, but can any of those other respiratory diseases you listed do that? I heard that ILT and IB are acute not chronic, meaning they...
