Little John and a pullet. Hatched these two cuckoo marans chicks from our own eggs.
Here are the proud parents Big John passed away the day the little two were saved for incubation.

I bought black java fertilized eggs and hatched out some chicks that had the auburn/brown feathers. My rooster has some lighter feathers on him but not fullblown auburn feathers. I have hatched eggs that he has sired and have yet to get a complete java chick... any comments would be appreciated???
We have rare black java chickens that were hatched from eggs that are direct descendents of those raised at the Garfield Farm Museum in Illinois, working at bringing this breed back from near extinction in the United States. Their story can be read on our website at www.furimmerfarm.com. We...
Taking order for Black Java Hatching Eggs. Our chicks were hatched from eggs out of direct descendents of the Garfield Farm Museum flock from Illinois. Black Javas are a rare heritage breed being brought back from near extinction in the United States. We will be shipping USPS Priority mail...
Take the whole turner out and then return eggs to the incubator. Those couple of moments will not hurt and it won't take long for the incubator to get back up to temp. The turner produces heat too so you may need to SLIGHTLY adjust the temp but I try not to rush into it until I am sure it...
we lost a cuckoo marans rooster to the horse water tank 2 weeks ago, although he drowned of course, so I definitely feel for you. I wouldn't have thought that they would get stuck underneath a bucket like that.
I enjoy the taste of chicken testicles.
When DH and I took care of our rooster, Big Ben, we came across two large internal organs and I did the research. Had always wanted to try testicles of some type, so I steamed them up and on the count of "3", we both tried them. They taste VERY similar...
One of my huskies stole 2 dozen eggs right out of the incubator one day. Even put the lid back on the incubator after he was done!
Didn't know what happened to the eggs until Mr. Duke became ill and up came eggs.
Also had a mother o'possum in the chicken yard and took 1 poulet a night for 4...
Wanted to join in thes conversation since I had a rooster/hen ratio problem myself this year. I was wondering if incubation temperature had anything to do with hatching more roosters. It does with reptiles such as lizards and alligators... the higher temps hatch more males and we had a...
At what age do you tag your chicks and/or chickens and the reason, please? I saw some day old chicks for sale on CraigsList with blue plastic tags on their ankles and was wondering why? Thanks....
I am from Central PA and a local Sportsmens club holds an annual coyote hunt. The largest coyote killed wins the grand prize and I don't believe they have had many here over 45-50 lb range. According to the article the NE ones are over 50 lbs. Ours were referred to as coydogs some 20 odd...
Thank you for the replies. Yeah, this morning I couldn't even tell which one it was LOL!! It was just a shock at the time though cause he was all belly
Had a chick that just hatched and its belly is very swollen, looks like it has an egg inside of it. Doesn't seem to be in distress from it and continues to try to get up and move. Should I just wait and see if it corrects itself, keeping it separate from the others???
