    Would you hatch these?

    I think for the Marans a light egg is a genetic defect? Or at minimum I know its a very undesirable quality for the Marans. I was looking at the Marans chart and that first dozen is barely making the minimum 4 (some I think are dipping down to 3's). I'm going to write the person and see...

    Would you hatch these?

    My mother wanted some "of those chickens from the chocolate egg layers". So we went in search of some Copper Marens hatching eggs. Purchase 1 dozen from one party and then another dozen from a different person. Both sets of eggs arrived today. First dozen to show up were really light. I...

    Does anyone know of a breeder in Oregon that is raising Dutch Bantam chickens? I'm looking for a like size buddy for my rooster that is in my Avatar. Poor little guy has a full size hen he follows around all day and I think he believes they are an item. Only time I've seen him attempt to...

    help!!!! i thought i had all pullets but i heard somebody do a wonky one....who was naughty??? pics

    I swore with my wyandottes that I had a rooster in the group as someone would crow every so often.. My 89 year old mother has told me that she has seen many crowing pullets that sometimes when they are young it's just something they do. Sure enough I did have all pullets, even though 3 people...

    new to chickens - just bought 2 Wyandottes

    If your even thinking you might want to show, find a good breeder instead of a hatchery. Not saying you can't get nice chickens from a hatchery, I just believe that they are into quantity versus quality. And of course there are different standards for each one. I purchased 12 Wyandotte hens...

    And another mystery chicken

    I will post a picture of him standing in a little while when I go down to let my new livestock guardian dog make his rounds (making sure he is chicken safe before he free roams, and so far it's all good). OK here is Mr Handsome in with his hens. FYI that is not an egg on the ground! One of...

    My two new incubator chicks.. What are they?

    Thank you :) I'm not portraying it half as crazy as the experience was, and made mistake of leaving my phone number because she technically owes me another dozen eggs as she didn't have change for a $10. Now I get calls every couple of days with her trying to sell me something else LOL! No...

    And another mystery chicken

    My uncle gave me a rooster when I visited him last weekend. His memory, and the amount of chickens he has had over the years this guy is probably got several breeds in him. But wondering what you all might think he most resembles? He is a very pretty guy, about 3-4 years old and not taking...

    Trader Joes & Other Grocery Store Egg Hatching Club - Are you a Member

    Tomorrow is the grand opening of the Trader Joe's in my area. I think I'm going to go see if they are stocking fresh fertile eggs and pick up a dozen to see if I can get some to hatch. I just did my first hatch from purchased eggs that were questionable on what was done with them after the...

    My two new incubator chicks.. What are they?

    Background: I got a incubator and did some work on it and then went in search of some hatching eggs for a test run. Well craigslist led me to an interesting woman who probably thinks it's still 1969 and kept humming Jimi Hendrixx Purple Haze over and over... I should of known when she told me...

    First incubation in over 25 years!

    Well first of my experiment eggs are hatching! I'm so happy to see everything worked on my cobbled together incubator! I added a computer fan to a little giant and added the foil in bottom to help keep the humidity higher (which was a problem when I was trying to get it to temp and correct...

    Just picked up my new chicks and guess my mystery chicken?

    The more I look I think it might be an EE/aracuna for the mystery guy. I think those cheeks are a little fluffy. Just seems larger then normal, obviously a lot larger then the Production Reds.... But the coloring looks correct and like I said the cheeks have a little extra fuz on them.
