    Winner winner is not a chicken dinner!

    I feel much better knowing that I am not alone. I like your incubator what kind? Looks like you have to rotate them by hand or did I miss something? I am looking for something smaller. No more big hatches for me. I would like to hatch some rare breeds next. We shall see. Under 10 ideally.

    Winner winner is not a chicken dinner!

    They were introduce to the new coop and almost 80 degrees. Always looking for food! I guess that means the move did not stress them out too much. Precious is in there some where she is a peach and a Barred Rock mix. She comes up to me all the time looking for treats. Put of the 28, 36 that...

    How is your straight run luck?

    I do the same thing as the moonshiner. Sometimes you get a really nice roo and don't mind keeping an extra around but that is if you can tolerate the crowing. Me the coops and run is not at my house but my shop so that is why I have a few extra roos. If they get mean and are "bad boys" then...

    Moving chicks to the coop and run

    I had the same problem with a few that just did not catch on to the routine. Some would huddle together and not even go into the coop. Some would go in and not come out. I am thinking it took me about 10 days before they were going in and out and picked up on the routine. Now they are on the...

    They are growing fast. Love scrambled eggs but the favorite is spaghetti. They get a noodle, peep and run away from each other. Its funny to watch them.

    Be honest, what would YOU do? Vote.

    I think each flock has its own chemistry. That being said I think a lot has to do with the demeanor of the chickens you have like was stated above by AmazingRachel. If you raise them from chicks together I think you will have better luck than if you pick and choose pullets. As long as they can...

    Please help. My sweet chick is four weeks old and has some sort of neck tumor!

    Could be a fatty tumor. We are all guessing. I would look up a exotic bird vet. I took mine to the vet once but did not make it in time she passed on the way. But just to give you an idea a Necropsy for her would have cost me $85.00 needless to say I opted not to have that done. Chalked it...

    Embryo Movement

    You are fine to look at them till "LOCKDOWN" that is day 18. You should be just fine. Sound like you are in of a real treat! Patients. I just hatched and some did not hatch till day 26 the runt and I call him/her. Only time will tell just a bit smaller than the rest but just as feisty...

    Incubating gone wrong, but why?

    I don't think what you set it on was your problem. I keep both red plugs in till day 18. I think temperature would be a huge factor along with the humidity at the end. Once you take the plugs out it is more difficult to regulate the humidity. I used room warm temp water to add to incubator...

    Rooster broken leg

    I had a rooster with a limp. Actually he just hopped on one leg. The joint was really swollen. I just made sure he had plenty of food and water not much lady action and over time he began to use it again. It seemed like the swelling went down and then he was able to use it more and more...

    Coccidiosis

    Sounds to me like she has a intestinal bug. May be add apple cider vinegar to the water. I bought some vitamins in like a bottle with a dropper. I will mix as directed on the bottle and using the dropper open the mouth and drop fluid with vitamins into her directly. They do not like it but...
