    My new Columbian Plymouth Rocks

    I think he said they were a February hatch. So they should be getting real close. This is the largest breed chicken I've had and I just can't beleive how big they are. They're maybe 4 weeks older than my Australorps but are much bigger.

    Sick pullet, Mareks?

    So I get home this evening, go to feed my chickens which consists of 11young pullets, 1 hen and 2 roosters. My pullets are around 10-12 weeks now I think. They came running at feed time but I noticed one was slower and looked liked she was gonna topple over forward. Then she just kinda fell...

    new pullets

    I have one EE adult rooster and one nice young black copper marans rooster. Would like some Marans hens. Marans breed to the australorp would probably make a nice laying bird. I imagine some people frown on that. Not saying I plan on doing that but I am more concerned with good birds that lay...

    new pullets

    Well, hated to , but I went ahead and sold all my older hens. Had to make room the new ones. They were all 4 years plus so I figured their best laying days were behind them. Moved my latest batch from the chick house. 2 Silver laced Wyandottes, 5 black australorp and 4 mixed RIR and Ameraucana...

    May Hatch-a-Long!

    Mine are hatching now but having trouble getting humidity up for some reason. Odd cause its rainy and very humid here rigjt now. I turned the fan off and misted the inside and the eggs lightly. I don't guess that would hurt the eggs.

    What size bulb in incubators?

    What size bulbs is everyone using in relation to incubator size? I built a small cabinet size incubator last year and had pretty good hatches, even with it being outside. I didn't start last year though until probably May/June when it was a lot warmer. I have 34 eggs in now and moved my bator...

    Jan./Feb. 2014 hatch a long

    Been a good day chicken wise. Just set 34 eggs, black sex links and easter eggers. Also picked up a load of free recyled lumber that should be enough to finish my second coop and fence in yard area. Had to move my incubator inside though, just to cold outside for it to hold temp . Looking...

    Fertile?

    I just collected these eggs and don't think they are fertile. I had two roos over breeding my hens . Gave one away a few months ago and haven't visually seen the other one breed a hen since? Do the roos slow down in winter as well? I was hoping to put some eggs in the incubator soon.
