    Adding heat to new momma and babies?

    It was! She took them like a good momma. The first night was great, the second night was cold, and one didn't get the heat it needed, and died. She is doing really well and the babies are too. I ended up giving her 5, with 3 being bantams. Thanks for asking!

    Hi all! So I thought this hen was a California white. Her very first egg was white, but the last 2 have been a light blue almost greenish color. Positive the eggs are hers. Any guesses? (The white egg in the picture is wood, just in the pic for color comparison.) She is friendly and head hen, if...

    Topic of the Week - Chicken Behaviour and Flock Dynamics Part 2 - Bullying Behaviour

    I have a small flock, 9 hens and 1 roo. Only 1 hen is laying so far (still young), and they all get along great during the day... That being said, at night it is hell for my Orpington. No one wants to roost next to her, and one of my hens doesn't let anyone roost next to her unless it is 2...

    What to do with a rooster?

    You might get lucky if you post it on craigslist or check for a poultry auction near you.

    Yesss! I ordered 2 ayam cemani hens and 1 ayam cemani roo. I do have a flock already, but they are only 11-12 weeks old.

    Mt. Healthy Hatchery EXTRA EXTRA!

    I am pretty excited to receive my order from them next week. The prices seemed alright to me since there is free shipping and just a 40$ order fee, which is still about half the price of shipping from other hatcheries I've seen. Good luck on your chicken math! lol :wee
