    best dual purpose breed for raising chicks

    I waited 4 years with a mixed flock of EE, wyandottes,production reds,austrolorps and most recently welsummers and barred rocks. Now finally 1 of my year old austrolorps and then 1 of the year old barred rocks went broody for me,...after buying an incubator and hatching some shipped eggs:rolleyes:.

    Do the last two have feathered feet? Would that make them cochins?

    How about this one? Breed/Gender?

    Need to know how old. Any chance you have a barred rock in the mix? My mutts are only about three weeks old but I have some that I think will look like that. The roo is half barred rock and I think the other half is austrolorp but could be silver laced wyandotte, the hens are austrolorp, silver...

    broody wont eat

    Hi Detali, I just had the same thing happen. She will eventually eat. I did give mine water with a kids medicine doser,but I don't think she really needed it. I gave her some dry cat food that she did eat after awhile. I'm sure there are also other posts in the search section. I would look for...

    Hey there Adorable, Good luck with your chickie. I just went through the same thing. Mine was the last egg from a broody that I put in the bator then had really just about given up on when it started peeping. DH heard it before I did, then it was another 24 hours or so before it pipped and then...

    forgotten egg peeping, what now?

    Update!! It made it out of the egg!! Long tough hatch but seems strong. Broody has about a week with her older chicks, do you think she might still take care of it? Thanks for the replies.

    forgotten egg peeping, what now?

    Hi all, I had a broody finally after 4 years of waiting!!! Yay!!! Well she did o.k. hatched 5 of 12. I knew they had been laid over at least several days so when she lost interest in the remaining eggs in favor of her already hatched and incredibly cute chicks I figured I'd pop a few of the...

    Help needed to...

    If they are all the same age and breed I agree with fastpat, probably only #3 is a roo.

    I need suggestions for a lab to choose.

    Interesting question, hope someone can give you some help. I'd like to know what other folks do for diagnosing sickness also. i've read in Mother Earth News about sending eggs for testing nutritional values, can't rember off hand where they sent them though. Good luck!
