I have some hens that are starting to lay. They are a barred rock mix. Im in Akron. Let me know soon. They are extra and will be butchered soon if you arent interested
The person I got them from said she checked fertility and even offered some chicks because she had enough and was just checking fertility. Since I had several stages of development I just assumed that several things had happened at various times during incubation. I have several children and my...
I opened my eggs this morning. I did the float test last night and there was no motion so I decided to see what was in one this morning. Nothing. So I proceeded with the rest. My best guess is several things must have happened during incubation because of the varied stages of development but...
I could barely see anything when I candeled. Maybe i just don't know what to look for. Does everyone just use a really bright flashlight. I have tried several but nothing seems bright enough. I have buckeye eggs so i wouldn't say they are especially dark. At one point we did see the embryo...

Unfortunately he was unwilling to introduce it to council. He and the mayor are always at odds and I don't think he wanted to add any fuel to the fire especially since it was something as "unimportant" as chickens. It seems to me that even if a person has footage in their favor a neighbor will...
My lot is 150 ft. deep so my chickens are all the way at the back. One person owns chickens and ducks on Kelley ave and they certainly are not 100 ft back. I think it depends if you receive a complaint. I plan to add more privacy fence to my yard this year as an added precaution. When I did...
