    School Hatch Project

    So exciting!!!! Yes, one day would start at the 24 hour mark. I would bring them home over the weekend, they can stay in the incubator for about 24 hours although if everyone hatches, it gets crowded quick! Something someone mentioned to me was if you can borrow a go pro or something, you can...

    Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

    No, I have blue black splash, i saw a "breeder" hahah selling AmerIcana as true ameraucana with a blue Ameraucana too i gave her. She has him over what she claims are silver Ameraucana but they look like easter eggers to me. I was just wondering how legit it was.

    Chickens head badly pecked and bone exposed on head

    Aw, well I'm sorry :( fingers crossed for her! She might enjoy a little company though, my hens get so lonely they start pacing and going nuts :( Maybe an older girl or a brand new young one? What breed are they? good luck!

    hens or roosters

    I could be wrong, saddle feathers are the best attempt i have at sexing for most breeds!

    I don't hear anything

    Try the water test. What day is it? Take a bowl full of warm water, gently place the egg in there and wait until the water is still. If the egg is bobbing around or has any movement she could just be behind. If no movement, may have not made it :(

    Chickens head badly pecked and bone exposed on head

    Those jerks! Make sure she is far far away from them as she is healing. Any oddity to her looks and they will treat her even worse! I would just make sure she's drinking, you're right! A syringe of water with vitamins ( I'm not sure on dosage ) and something that works well for my ladies that...

    hens or roosters

    The hackle and saddle feathers look Roo to me on all of them....how old are they? Sometimes with more than one rooster being raised together, others will not crow because they are not dominant. Fingers crossed for you though!

    Minni Egg Hatch

    Looks like a fart egg, or more politely called "fairy egg". They aren't super unusual but probably won't hatch! Fingers crossed though and i would LOVE to see a chick that tiny!

    ⠀ Chickens not eating much

    A move is stressful for them. Some chickens will be ok right away, still lay and eat just fine. Others will be a bit stressed and it may take them a few weeks to get back into a routine of laying. If you can provide a good seed mix for them as well, sometimes they will eat better if its mixed in...

    Candling Question

    Day 5 may be too early, I do 7, 10, and 18. Hold the large end of the egg in your hand and put the flashlight or whatever candling device you are using shined up through the large part of the egg. You will not hurt them if you gently move the egg around, my broods have somehow rolled their eggs...

    Looking for specific breeds, can you help?

    Id say the Black Copper Maran, Olive Egger and Ameraucana you should get through a home business, the rest are hardy layers that are easily purchased through an online hatchery. Also, they're a bit more expensive, but Cream Legbar also lay blue and you can select females at day old, they are...

    Looking for specific breeds, can you help?

    If you're not looking for breeder/show quality chickens, honestly I'd go through an online hatchery, good prices, vaccinated chicks. For the Ameraucana though, they claim to have them but they are EE's. I got Ameraucana through Whitmore Farms. They are excellent birds and provided me with...

    Help....My 10 week old Blue Cochin cant stay balance

    I believe with the Mereks vac, it doesn't mean that they can not get the disease, it only means they can build an immunity to it. So if it is something like Mereks, it can spread through dander, in the wind or on the soles of your shoes. It can infect an entire flock and you may not know because...
