    Ameraucana/RIR/Buff?

Then this year, when he was grown up (we named him Oprah, thinking he was a big, outgoing female), we mated him with pure RIR's and Buff's...

    What did I do wrong?

    Well last year I had two hatches of 20 and both were completely unsuccessful. After they died I cracked the eggs open and it looked like they had been on maybe day 19 or 20. So what did I do wrong? Someone told me that I needed more air circulation, but how do you guys promote air flow in your...

    Plymouth Rocks In Western Maryland?

    I'm looking for a rooster that I can breed with my ladies. And I can travel up to an hour if necessary to get the rooster. This is early, because I want him next year but I might as well see who's out there. Thanks!

    Crazy Chick

    Thanks, he/she was actually still peeping even when we put him/her back with the rest of them. But, he/she's stopped peeping now, so it's all good.

    Crazy Chick

    So our new batch of hatched 11 RIR ,2 crossbreed ameracaunas, and we bought 6 Buffs. And one of our chicks Queen Latifa was born with a strange wing with missing feathers.

    Candling for Veins at Day 26

    It is the homemade incubator from MissPrissy's post. And the tmep was 95 to 104 because the thermostat sucks. and the humidity stayed around 40 to 50 percent.

    Loud noises bad?

    I wanted to know if a moderate amount of constant noise in the same room as an incubator will have harmful effects on the chicks inside? Cause while im working the kinks out of my new homemade incubator, my biology teacher is letting me incubate my eggs in his school incubator( which is very...

    Candling for Veins at Day 26

    I am expecting them all to be daed at this point because no cheeping or pipping or moving whatsoever. But when candling them, if I don't see veins then is it dead? Or are they maybe just being hidden?

    HELP!!! Chick Immobiel after 24 hours!

    So half the egg is off and it's fine but should it be trying to hatch out? Because it's peeping but it's just laying in the egg shape even though it can hatch out right now. Is it soaking up the yoke?
