    What are these?

    I was thinking that they might be too big to be bantams. Not what I wanted to hear. How do you tell the roos from the hens? Some have a "red hangy-down thing" (my own scientific definition) below their beaks. Is that a roo?

    What are these?

    These birds were sold to a friend of mine as bantams and I traded some olive-egger chicks for them. They have "puffy heads" as my kids like to say. Their legs are a pale blue and their coloration varies from a solid reddish-gold, solid black and salt and pepper. The solid black with no "puffy...

    Temps in Little Giant Still Air with Egg Turner

    I used the little thermometer on the plastic that came with the little giant and egg-turner. I put it flat on the screen the whole time and it read slightly below the 100 mark the entire time. I added water on day 18. I just hatched 12 of 12 on my first attempt but it was more luck than anything...

    First batch 100% hatch!!!

    The eggs came from my hens and I collected two days from those hens and set them. I used a Little Giant "still air" with an egg-turner. I think that I have a leg-up in Mississippi because our ambient humidity is relatively high compared to a lot of areas. I used the dry incubating method.

    First batch 100% hatch!!!

    I set 12 eggs, 4 of them were welsummer crosses and the rest were barred-rock crosses. I can wait to try again but I need a bigger pen.

    First batch 100% hatch!!!

    I'm sorry but I have to brag. My first attempt at incubating eggs gave me 100% on my olive-egger chicks (barred rock x EE and welsummer x EE). The kids got to watch two chicks pop out of the egg and they were amazed. Thanks to this forum for all of the helpful information. My wife thinks I am...

    Day 15 of first incubating attempt

    I have a dozen EE x Welsummer and EE x Barred Rocks eggs in the incubator. The incubator is a Little Giant and has a turner in it. Do I turn the egg-turner off on day 18? Do I take it out on day 18 and lay the eggs on their sides? Please help!

    bird lice

    I loaded one corner of their pen with sand yesterday. I am hoping that will keep them out the sandbox. Does the dust bathing mean they have mites?

    Can I kill those dogs?

    You can buy super-shorts for a 22 rifle. They need to be used in close range but it sounds like a board being dropped or a limb popping. Can be used inside the city limits and nobody will notice. Just stay out of sight. I have tried to deal with them through their owners but that was...

    bird lice

    What about the Adams flea spray, I have some of that. Does anyone have any experience with it? My hens go straight for my son's sand box and will stay in there forever "dusting" themselves. Does this mean they have mites? I have not noticed any getting on me when in the pen.

    Green eggs...Ameraucanas...auarcanas....EE's....whatever...questions

    One of the two hens I adopted lays a really pale brown color egg. I say they are RIR's because I am not sure what they are and they have redish-orange feathers, except one has black specks on some of the feathers especially around the breast and head. Would a cross with that hen have any chance...

    Green eggs...Ameraucanas...auarcanas....EE's....whatever...questions

    What type of cross would result in a pink egg layer. My daughter really wants a hen that lays a pink egg. Finding a hen for sale that lays pink eggs is proving very difficult. I have some dominque hens and some what I think are RIR's. Could I get a EE rooster and cross them to get a pink egg layer?
