    Egg Explosion on Hatch Day

    Hi everyone! I’ve been hatching for a few years now and have not had this problem before. I have a batch of Black Copper Marans eggs in the incubator and today is hatch day! I just checked on the eggs and saw that one is pipped. However, I also smelled a foul odor and can see that one egg...

    Sick Chicken Can't Walk, Blue/Green Poop

    Hi everyone. I have a 6 month old Crested Cream Legbar who came out of the coop last week "limping." Every time she would take a step, her right leg seemed to give out and couldn't bear the weight. I checked her over for signs of bumblefoot or any other podiatry issues and found nothing. I...

    Thank you both! I feared the three were roosters but have my fingers crossed for 1 and 3. Number 4 seems to be my only hope!

    Black Copper Marans - Time progression of sexing - UPDATED with WEEKs #1-3 PICTURES

    I picked up four BCM chicks who are now approximately 2 weeks old. I'm worried at least 3 are Roos. What do you think? Too early to tell?

    Metal vs. Plastic

    What supplies do you prefer to use for chicks? Adults? Pros & cons of each for feeders and waterers are appreciated! I live in Upstate NY where it reached -20 this weekend. I am leaning toward the metal heated base for winter. What do you think? Thank you!

    Murray McMurray Hatchery

    Thank you for all of the info! I grew up raising chickens but we never ordered from a hatchery. Just bought a house so that means I can finally start my coop! I'm hoping the same is true for my boyfriend- he's a little intimidated by my addiction already :)

    Murray McMurray Hatchery

    Thank you for your response! You have beautiful birds :) your pictures are making me impatient! Though I was hoping they would be marked, maybe figuring out who is who will be fun like you stated. Were your roos marked? I'm glad you had such a positive experience- I'm hoping for the same! Can't...

    Murray McMurray Hatchery

    Hi there! I just placed an order with Murray McMurray Hatchery and was wondering if anyone who has ordered from them before can let me know what to expect. I have read previous threads about their shipping on weekends, but since they were from a few years back I was wondering if this policy...

    It's time to fill my first coop! Suggestions appreciated!

    Hi all! I am planning on building a chicken coop this spring and need your help! I have been pouring over hatchery websites, catalogs, and Facebook pages trying to decide and narrow down what breeds I want to order. Even though I grew up with chickens, I was never able to choose what breeds we...
