    Thought I would try here first before posting to Craigslist. We are in Oak Ridge, NC. 😁 I have three (possibly 4) roosters that need a new home. I hatched this batch of chickens on April 2nd this year, so they are just now coming to maturity. Their dad is Brahma and I believe their mom was a...

    Hey everyone! I have a Crevecoeur rooster that needs to find his forever home. I hatched this handsome fella on May 25th as part of a classroom hatching project. Was hoping he was a she but alas, the crowing has begun! Crevecoeurs are a rare breed that originated in France. There is currently...

    Hello all - its been a while since I have visited this site. We are just now getting back into 'backyard chickening' since we moved three years ago. (Have 7 fluffy butts in the brooder right now). ;-) Even though we have not had our own for three years, I still do a hatching project for one...

    Hi everyone! I am in search of one dozen bantam hatching eggs for a school hatching project. I have plenty average size coming from a few sources but like to show the kids that eggs are all different sizes/colors/etc. They really enjoy seeing the difference in the bantam eggs and chicks...

    We live about 5 min from the TSC and are there a lot. My husband actually used to work for their corp offices in TN before we moved. Once you know your pricing and timing, please let me know. Thanks!

    Sounds like you have some beautiful birds. I hatched some frizzles with our last project. The kids loved seeing them as their feathers started to curl (I brought them back in to the class after a few weeks). Unfortunately, the frizzles were all roos and in Nashville city limits we could not...

    That is what our Wyandotte was. She was beautiful and a great layer! Her name was Goldilocks. That would be so great if you could part with a few eggs. Not sure how far Mebane is from us but a field trip is not a problem! Once I know the exact dates (should know by the end of next week) I...

    Hello Everyone! Our family moved to NC this past summer (Oak Ridge). We had backyard chickens in Nashville, TN and are looking to get a small flock (4 or so) started here. Our old flack stayed with our home when they sold which we thought best for the birds. Not as much stress for them, but...

    Best way to cull a chick?

    Thank you for sharing...I needed to cull one this afternoon and had never done it before. The snipping method just wasn't something I could stomach. ;-( This way was one I could accomplish and feel at peace with. Just wanted to say thanks!

    Anyone have any fertilized eggs they are willing to donate (or sell at a reduced price) for a school hatching project? Our family has backyard chickens but since we are in the Nashville city limits we have no roosters. I will be doing a hatching project for my son's first grade class and am in...

    HELP! First time hatching...chick has a Foot/Toe/Joint issue!!!!

    Also, looks like it is not fluffing up, just dried albumen or something on it. Looks a bit wet but its not. Should I try to get that off somehow, if so, what is the best process for doing that?

    HELP! First time hatching...chick has a Foot/Toe/Joint issue!!!!

    This is the first time hatching eggs and one of the chicks has an issue. It pipped on day 20 and was still not unzipped today around lunch. Peeping VERY LOUDLY in the shell and seemed like it was trying to do something. Finally, I decided to artificially unzip the shell. I left the membrane...
