    Super Small D'uccle

    We got this little chick at our feed store about 3 months or so ago. We were told it was going to be a Cochin. Well Kindle turned out to be a D'uccle and is very small. I weighed Kindle and she/he is only 9.8ozs. No bigger then a can of beans. What would cause Kindle to be so small? I really...

    Chickens + The Fair

    I haven't been on in a while and just wanted to share how my chickens did at the fair. I just showed my chickens for fun, and really didn't mind what they got. We had two black Orpingtons that we got as chicks and were hoping they were going to be hens, but they turned out to both be roosters...

    Marek's + Adult Chickens

    This year I was planning on taking my chickens to the fair, but I have heard there has been a Marek's scare around my area. I know when taking your animals to fair you are taking your chances when it comes to getting diseases, but I wanted to know, can I vaccinate my adult birds against this...

    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    I recandled the eggs and... I saw movement in one egg!! The fat end of the egg was all dark and then the top of the egg looked like it had a ring of blood vessels? That's where I saw the movement, so maybe this egg was layed after she started sitting on them? So not sure when this one will...

    Quote: I candled them yesterday and didn't see any movement either, but I can always try again! If you really don't see any movement could that kind of be a sign that nobody's home? I hope you have better luck next time too! I didn't know chickies could be so hard to hatch

    I'm sure this question has been asked many times before but how long do you let your hen sit on eggs to where it becomes the point when they won't hatch/not even fertile? This is our very first time hatching eggs under our hen and today is day 21! When will the chicks hatch if they are fertile?
