    CHICKEN SWAPS OF NH SWAP LISTINGS

    Any BCM breeders in VT,NY,MA,NH????

    I want to clean my incubator and put it away for awhile. I've had fun hatching and learned great things about my flock's fertility. However, the last 2 times I've added shipped BCM eggs to the mix. First time was a disaster, this past time I had 1 BCM hatch out of 13 eggs (1 is better than...

    Do you put eggs in cartons for lockdown or let them roll freely????

    Quote: Don't use any paper that the chicks can slip on or they may get spraddle leg. The shelf paper, especially the kind you put in RVs so things don't slide around on the shelves, works great. It has little holes in it for ventilation. Yes. Don't use regular shelf liner (the slippery paper...

    Do you put eggs in cartons for lockdown or let them roll freely????

    Wow!!! So much more info than I imagined and so appreciated! I'll have to try it this week. I'm hatching BCMs for myself and some of my browns for a friend, so I figure this will help me keep them separate while they're in the same bator. I'll have to see if I have spare shelf liner, though I...

    Do you put eggs in cartons for lockdown or let them roll freely????

    I'm a novice/newbie w/ only 3 hatches behind me, the 1st being a disaster. I've read on here that some put their eggs in egg crates for lockdown/hatch. I imagine that containing the mess is one of the pros, are there more reasons? What are the cons? Lockdown is on Wed. and I wonder if crates...

    APRIL HATCH-A-LONG come join in

    I'd love to hear from someone with a successful track record with their LG. I check in every day or so and notice the others' problems with LG's inconsistency (heat/humidity). Do the styrofoam hovabators create such headaches, too? I'm trying not to touch mine except to add h20 every few days...

    Thanks, Terri for the info Do they like to sleep in the trees in the warm weather or do they roost indoors? Do they use nest boxes or lay out on the range? Oops, I see you mentioned they sleep in the trees.

    Raising guineas, similar to chickens?

    Quote: Thank you, Cynthia. We are hoping to free range them during the growing season, we have several acres and lots of bugs. Would they just need a house with roosts and nests? We still have snow on the ground in March, should we connect them with the chickens via the chickens' run or would...

    Raising guineas, similar to chickens?

    My husband and I are thinking of ordering guineas this year for eggs and possibly, meat. Do they need a separate coop/run setup like chickens or something different? What important things need to be kept in mind when planning for them? It's difficult to find a book, info elsewhere so as always...

    Chick zipped but not hatching. Should I help??

    I wish I had an answer for you. I lost one zipping today and one in my previous hatch. I know some here help them along and others don't interfere. I was hoping someone would've answered you with better advice, sorry. What ever you decide best of luck.

    What determines egg color with ee mixes???

    Thanks, that is informative! In our case we have ameracauna and ee mix pullets/hens (blue and green) and the roo is of a brown egg laying buff orp. hen. I'll have to pay close attention to the combs.

    Thanks for the info! I obviously need to delve into genetics, good thing these chicks (hatch date 3/4) will be freebies. Soooo much to learn, never boring. Thanks again!
