    Variety?? Male/Female ???

    So I had a neighbor drop off a group of eggs last summer and ask me to incubate them for her, in exchange for keeping some of the poults. I am experienced with chickens and have hatched plenty of Chicken but had never hatched anything else. Anyways, the eggs she gave me she said were all from...

    Turkey Breed?

    I was given 24 eggs by a lady I met (didnt know her previously - and she just gave them to me siad she didnt know what else to with them). She told me they were royal palm turkey eggs - when I got them they had not been stored properly (upside down/ warm etc..)....and many of them were very...

    I was given a bunch of turkey eggs about 14 days ago (first time incubating turkeys and only my 4th batch of eggs incubating total- but have had good success so far) - while I have been checking the temp and humidity occasionally life has been busy and I have not been as attentive as I probably...

    Brown egg laying chickens - laying white egg

    I have all Rhode Island Reds and ISA Browns - that have been laying for 9-12 months (all brown eggs). Recently I have been collecting very light brown eggs (1-2 a day out of 30 chickens) - that have been getting lighter. Today there was one egg that was completely white. Something I should...

    Americaunas not laying/stopped laying

    I am very unfamiliar with this breed - my kids won 6 free chicks at a tractor supply drawing last April. - I am not even sure if they are true Americaunas (that was just what we were told when we got them). Also not sure if it was a straight run or poults. We had them in a smaller coop with 9...

    Hatching Egss w/ RIR, Buff Orpingtons, ISA Browns

    We are just getting started with incubating and hatching. We currently have RIR roosters, RIR hens, ISA Brown hens, and Buff Orpington hens (we also have white Longhorns hens, and Americauna hens- but those are easy to differentiate eggs 😉). We have the pen ability to separate out chickens if...

    Chicken not acting normal (dog attack)

    I had the same thing happen with my chickens this morning. The 2 that were effected don't have any visible injuries but are just sitting in the same spot not moving. Hopefully it is just shock.

    Dog attacked Chickens - no visible injuries but they are not active

    My five year old accidently left the run gate open and the chickens were wandering early this morning. My husband heard the dog making commotion and went to check and he had 2 chickens pinned down. He was able to get the dog off them and return them to the coop. One seems to be unharmed the...

    Think I might have a rooster or 2??

    Could circle or point out the difference or reference it with another pic or link - I think I know what you are referring to but want to make sure for my own knowledge, so I can start picking these things up myself ;)

    Think I might have a rooster or 2??

    We are brand new to chickens and got these from a local lady who wasn't even sure which breed they were but siad they were all pullets. After some research of my own I figured out that we had 4 buff orpingtons and what we think is a Rhode Island Red ( just bc that is what our local feed store...
