    Weird egg! Wazine?

    Can anyone tell me whats going on with this egg? I just treated my flock two days ago with Wazine for roundworms, and today I got this wacky egg. I've narrowed it down to 3 of the girls, one of which has been really sickly (green diarrhea, not eating much, moving slow, etc). I babied her with...

    New hen, but same source--quarantine?

    Thank you all so much for the advice! It's really helpful. Because I also have chicks that I hatched and am slowly hardening off to go into a grow-out pen, I think it will be too much work to keep everyone apart for now. The addiction is real! It's so hard to say no to new birds, but I need to...

    New hen, but same source--quarantine?

    I'm debating whether to add a new hen to my flock, but I wonder if I can cut down on the quarantine a bit. I added 4 pullets to my existing flock back in August, and this new hen would be from the same breeder/farm. Would that mean that my flock is already exposed to most of the...

    First time for everything...literally

    Bump! She's still running to the nest box after another day in the broody breaker. :(

    First time for everything...literally

    This is my first year raising chickens and my family has had a good time building a nice coop, raising our spring chicks, and two of our 7 girls are laying. I wanted to try my hand at hatching, so I ordered two batches of eggs (shipped, I know I know...), and those are incubating right now. Of...

    Has anyone used this 15-egg incubator?

    Thanks! I scanned through these, but it doesn't look like anyone has reviewed these incubators. Maybe that's a sign! :)

    Has anyone used this 15-egg incubator?

    I'm a first timer at incubating eggs and I'm trying to find an affordable incubator online. My friend is going to lend me her Brinsea Mini, but I'm buying at least a dozen eggs. I'm considering this 15-egg incubator, but I can't find any reviews online (probably because it's from China). I know...

    Updated pics: Pullets or Cockerels?

    Thanks for your opinions! I do think you're right that it's a Barred Rock and not a SLW. I've been leaning that way for a while, but it came from a barnyard mix with both and I was just hoping it would be a SLW. We've always thought the Jubilee was a pullet and the white splash was a...

    Updated pics: Pullets or Cockerels?

    Here's the big kids group shot (9-10weeks old): I know about 3 of the cockerels (the blCk one started crowing at 7 weeks), but what about the jubilee? Here are some solo shots: Now for the 4-week babies. I'm curious about the white Easter Egger and the SLW. Thanks so much for your...

    Orp gender & peacombs?

    I tried getting better pictures of my Jubilee chick. Are those pointy saddle feathers or am I being paranoid? I really hope she's a pullet!

    Orp gender & peacombs?

    Yes thanks! I knew that actually, I was hoping for gender guesses.

    Orp gender & peacombs?

    I thought I had these few birds figured out, but now I'm second-guessing myself again (first-timer!). I have 8-9week old Orpingtons (mixed colors, not buffs). Any guesses? Almost all of them have a touch of comb/wattle action, but they vary so much in color and size. #1 #2 #3 And my...
