Hello everyone!!!
I started keeping chickens in 2004 when I bought 30+ eggs and I only had 1 roo hatch. My flock has expanded greatly with no breed in particular! I keep Rhode Island Red's, Black Sex links, a silver laced polish, a buff orpington, and delawares.

Hello Everybody!
I am looking for easter egger hatching eggs. I am looking for about 6 or so. I would prefer they are bearded and muffed but I am not too picky as long as they lay blue, green, or pink eggs. I am looking for them for my mom. She loves the eggs (we have 1 easter egger and she...
I have been contemplating on calling the SPCA. The peeps aren't around any of the rest of my flock, so I will be watching very closely. She said she adopts out the cats. She has them dumped on her property and she takes them in because she lives on a very busy road. The bad thing is is that most...
I went to a person's house today to pick up chicks. I took my baby sister with me and the lady showed us her animals. I felt so bad for them. She has chickens (lots), pigeons, ducks, geese, peafowl, guineas, pheasants, a dog, a horse, goats, rabbits, and cats (60 some of them). It smelled like a...
You are supposed to feed it every 2 hours, I think, round the clock until it is about 2 weeks old. You can just feed it that baby bird formula...it has everything in it a baby bird needs. That is all I know. I tried raising 2 baby pigeons and they both ended up dying. I hope that you luck is...
I wasn't putting that woman down at all. That woman that had the ram was actually kinda upset that she was out of her money. I think she knew it was dying.
I don't think of my chickens as a throw away thing. I love all of them. I don't even think there is an avian vet here. I do everything in...
She passed away sometime Saturday night. She showed improvement since I had been feeding her. She ate on her own Saturday so I didn't feed her anything. I did give her some aspirin and wormer and I think that is what helped. I am sure she was running a fever. She wasn't just warmer to the touch...
I don't know if she has been laying because she is in with 24 other chickens. She is about 3 years old. She eats Southern state layer and grower crumble, the feed store scratch grain, and wheat.
There is no mites. I felt her stomach for eggs and I couldn't feel any eggs.
I have never wormed...
Hello everyone!
I have a few questions and I need some seggestions. I have a hen that is extremely sick. I found her last night laying out on the ground. She didn't go in with everyone else. Her comb was dark in color almost a purple color. She is out of it. Her pupils react to light but not...
kriptoniteqhs sent me 8 mixed eggs. They were wrapped in bubble wrap, had shredded paper around them and then more newspaper around that! They arrived in excellent shape!!! Excellent packing, great person to deal with!!! I hope to get more from her again!
Thanks for letting me know. I got some splash marans eggs off of ebay and the PO wasn't so nice to them. One was broke, 2 were cracked and 1 the air sack was broke. I put fingernail polish on the 2 that were cracked (over the cracks to help hold in moisture) to see if they will grow. I figure if...
I might want some of these. Maybe a half dozen if you still have some. I am not sure yet because I just got some eggs yesterday that were slightly shook up and I don't know how many will make it. I will keep in touch and let you know if you are still able to do it!
Thanks!
I hope your hatch goes good! They sound like they had it rough. I hate it when the PO has a box labeled "hatching eggs...do not drop or jar" and they still seem to not be able to get the point! Oh well!
I hope they send replacements if these don't work. I told my mom that I would want my customers to have at least one little one out of it all (even if it means I have to send another pack of eggs.)
scbatz...were yours dropped and did you get anything out of them to hatch?
The other thing I am worried about it that it was terribly cold. My mom thinks they froze but I don't cus all the broken/cracked eggs were on one end of the box. I think the were dropped!
yeah I did. They didn't say anything about replacements. It says in the auction that they garentee the eggs will get here in good shape. They did say to let them know what happens so I don't know. I will have to try the finger nail polish thing. Maybe that will help. It just makes me upset that...
OMG!!! I am gunna cry! I candled the eggs. I didn't even notice that 2 more of them were cracked and another the air cell was broke!!! I hope that rest of them hatch, but I am starting to doubt they will cus of how those looked!!!:hit
I am really hoping that I will have something hatch. It's a...
