    Brooder boxes

    I have two 24"x48"x24" boxes on caster wheels, each has one open end, a door and a 12"x48" flip top for top access, clipped together with two pieces of bent metal across the 2"x2" frame, which allows me to use a 1/4" board between the two for two brooders, and expand it to a 2'x8' as chicks get...

    He's a nice looking boy, so I do hope you find him a place. I do love my Bruges boys, they have all had great temperament and good interactions with people.

    Brugse Vechter aka Bruges Fighter Thread

    If you want to try to find him a home, try the "where am I, where are you" forum and post it in your state thread. Good luck! There just isn't much traffic or interest in this thread.

    Needing help deciding

    You can get bantam EEs or bantam barred rocks, either should give decent amount of eggs and be capable of handling the weather extremes you have. Of course, bantam usually lay much smaller eggs.

    Mareks. Can we ever get chickens again?

    You bring Mareks onto your property once you bring in a vaccinated bird, it's a leaky vaccine.

    Is this chick wheaten? How did this happen?

    I just realized that if my birchen roo is carrying wheaten, and the cross with duck wing produced blacks and duckwing wheaten splits, the blacks would be birchen and duckwing, so instead of using the offspring that appeared duckwing, I can breed the black (the birchen x duckwing) back to my...

    My girl Chocolate lays XL 70-78g eggs -- can I hatch some of her babies?

    If it's her normal egg size that's awesome and perfectly fine to incubate! 😃

    My girl Chocolate lays XL 70-78g eggs -- can I hatch some of her babies?

    If the large eggs are average size (whatever that weight may be) to the hen it's fine. You just want to incubate average eggs, not the usually small or usually large.

    Is this normal?

    Have never seen anything like that before, so I would say, no, that's not normal. Maybe someone else has seen something similar and has an idea of what that is, a cause, and hopefully a solution. Sorry I can't be of any help.

    Dying as they hatch?

    I put the eggs on a bed of sphagnum moss, it keeps the eggs in place and keeps humidity up. No more soccer games in the incubator.
