    Long-legged Olive Egger rooster

    I have a young Olive Egger roo that has abnormally long legs. He's already inches taller than my full grown FBCM roo. Lately he has been having trouble walking. Most of the time he just trips over his own legs when hurrying, but occasionally seems unable to walk much. I'm thinking that probably...

    Operation Dry Hatch

    My first hatch was my "learning" hatch, it was also an emergency hatch(lost my Br roo, and wanted to "set" some of his progeny b4 the hens went sterile). Started out in a homemade cooler incubator with an incandescent bulb. The eggs spent two weeks in it, then it went supernova, and I thought I...

    END OF FEB. HATCH-ALONG, ANYONE?

    My 5 OE's were due to hatch the 27th. Four of them quit on me hatch day, the last one quit the day after hatch date. I was trying the dry incubation. never again!! I broke the last one open. Nearly half the egg was empty space. It didn't even pip internally. I hope I got the humidity higher in...

    Entire flock abruptly stopped laying for no apparent reason, any ideas why?

    I did consider maybe a hidden nest, but left the chooks in the coop and run all day yesterday, still only 10 eggs in my case.

    Entire flock abruptly stopped laying for no apparent reason, any ideas why?

    HenRaiser....I noticed you are located in north central Mississippi......So am I. Tishomingo to be exact. I am having the same problem. Went from 15 to 19 eggs a day to 9-10, and 12 today. I think this freakish weather is causing it.

    Egg pipped last night, now nothing :( Is this a bad sign? FIRST HATCH

    My first hatch, I had two slow chicks. I helped one out a little early, the other i went with "hands off" for a while longer. After one more day for the slowest one, I helped it out. The slowest one to hatch has curly toes. I had read that chicks that have to work TOO hard to get out, increase...

    END OF FEB. HATCH-ALONG, ANYONE?

    Good luck all! Hoping this one works out a little better for me. First batch I got a 50% hatch. And that was starting out with a homemade 'Bator that went supernova, rushed and got an LG to finish them off. So, I feel like it was pretty successful, all considering. :)..........I now also have an...

    confused hens....I think

    i had been getting anywhere from 15 to 19 eggs a day. This last week it's been more like 9ish eggs a day. I think this crazy azz weather we've been having has confused them. We've had no winter to speak of. We went from temps in the 70's believe it or not, to temps in 40's daytime and 20's at...

    Bird acting oddly. What could it be?

    I've had that happen a couple times with some of my hens. They act "off". Stay in one spot, kind of a little fluffed up. lethargic. I gave them each a hot soak bath and blow dry, in case they were maybe egg bound. Perfectly normal the next day. i think the word is getting around...."Want a spa...
