When I went to bed last night I had a pip up higher on an egg. This morning there is another pip farther down on the side of the egg. Did the chick move and pip again or do I have twins hatching? THANKS!
We have decided that we would like to add the light and/or coronation sussex breed to our flock. I have fallen in love with them and I am excited to work with them. I live in Utah. Is there anyone that has eggs or chicks available? Thanks for your help!!

I am looking for a good dual purpose bird. I think I have narrowed it down to either orpington's or plymouth rocks. Which would be the better choice? Also, do the BBS or SLP rocks have the same dual purpose qualities as the barred rocks?
After my last hatch in the bator, that was a complete disaster, I really want broodies to do the work for me. Which do you prefer or which do you think make better broodies?? Silkies or cochins??

I have 8 BLRW, 5 SLW, 1 Welsummer and 4 Amerucana or Olive Egger (depending on who the daddy is. ) eggs in my bator that are due to hatch tomorrow. I was surprised to find a pip a few hours ago in two of the BLRW eggs. One pipped on the wrong end and died in the shell, and the other one just...
We woke up to find a very cute little heifer calf this morning!!! Mayflower delivered a sweet little black heifer this morning about 1 1/2 hours ago. My 4 year old wants to name her Tinker, so I think that is what her name will be.

My SIL opened up 6-7 credit cards in my FIL & MIL names and has charged over $25,000 on them. This isn't this first time she has done something like this, in fact she just got off probation last fall for something similar. The judge she saw last fall told her that if he saw her in the system...

I really want some silver penciled chickens. I know that they come in both the Rock's and the Wyandotte's. I have heard that the Rock roo's can be aggressive, how are Wyandotte roo's? I do not want an aggressive breed. Which do you prefer, the Rock's or the Wyandotte's?? Thanks for your help!
