Well I don't have much information on this one.... but -
DH gets home before me at night. He feeds and waters the girls and makes sure they're in for the night....
He never told me that the last few days one pretty lady was acting different.
well when he came home last night he called me and...
so... we have at least one egg cracking hen.....
our ladies lay their eggs from about 8-10am all the way til about 5pm..... (we're at work)
and on average there's about 1 egg a day that is cracked. My son has even seen a hen peck it and crack it open.
I have no idea which one is doing it...
We had a successful hatch that started sunday afternoon. We are NEW to this and set 14 eggs. We didn't candle becuase I forgot and DH didn't know to do it...
8 hatched and 1 had to be culled. Couldn't stand, and I think there was some nerve damage to the brain/head. one of the HARDEST decisions...
I wanted to add a quick question about these.. (i've renamed them dresses)
I had to take them off our hens that had them on because I needed to wash them (bought mine from lovemychix BTW-they wash and stay in tact wonderfully! I didn't have any doubt but wanted everyone to know)
It was quite...
Ok i've read on this and done some extensive reading/searching..... about the deep litter method inside the coop....
I think I don't understand. (believe me i'm not an idiot)
We will be in the process of 'remodeling' the inside of the coop because we want to put in a poop board.
Up until now...
ok, DH is home and just called me at work......
He's outside working on his neice's car..... he said our roo was on one of the hens and (I quote) "it sounded like he was killing her" - Now we do have a hen perhaps more than one that doesn't love the mating riutal and is quite noisey....
However...
This is a Guitar Hero Legands of Rock III game for PS2. We no longer have a playstation after we got a Wii so there is no need for this game. I'm probably stretching it a little when I say it's been used a dozen times. I'm selling the game and guitar BOTH work great. Like I said, we no longer...
I am looking to buy a smaller amount of easter egger female chicks. I don't have a clue where to get them locally. I have a hard time with sending them through the mail, although I know it's done all the time.....
i'm in upstate NY... can anyone help?!
This if for a PS2 - Guitar Hero III (Legends of Rock) game with guitar included. Works great and has really only been used a dozen or less times. We no longer have a Playstation so there is no need for this game any longer. Game case comes with instructions. Guitar comes with strap.
PM me with...
I don't know if this goes here or not.....
Does anyone know what TSC does with all their 'left over' chicks? I konw you have to purchase 6 @ a time (at least here you do...) so what happens if no one wants them etc.....
Is it possible to have 'left overs' at the store?
Thanks!
We have to reconfigure our coop layout as soon as the weather stays steady enough to keep the birds out all day.... (ours are WAY too nosey... they knock on the chicken door when we close them out )
Anyway.... here's a picture of our layout right now.....
it's not a great picture because you...

We saw some rabbits @ TSC.....
We've been thinking of getting one as a suprise for our 8 year old.....
We're in upstate NY and we're a little unsure if we want to make the plung to have a rabbit. We don't have the space to keep it inside so we'd build a 'hutch' (i think that's what their...
I saw this today online and can't seem to find one anywhere...
does anyone own one or know where i'd be able to get one or what they're actually called to look them up? when I look up deviled egg containers, I get the standard flat holding ones.
Thanks! hope someone knows!!!
Hi all.
I have a few questions......
We're going to be putting some eggs in the incubator hopefull at the end or toward the end of march/beginning of April......
We purchased the incubator and egg turner from TSC. (we have Buff Orpingtons)
here are my questions.....
-is there a better place to...
i'm looking for an incubator. Not looking to spend a ton of money but would like to find one that is fool proof. We've never hatched before and would like the most simple bator possible.
does anyone have any?
thanks!
I'm sorry if this doesn't belong here.... (I posted it in the wrong section I think previously, they told me to put it here-i didn't see this section)
It looks like we will be hatching eggs sometime this month.....
NEVER done this before....
Does anyone have any suggestions of a good incubator...

Does anyone have any suggestions of a good incubator and what other supplies we may need?
Also, i've heard that the chicks don't know right away (obviously)...
ok First I apologize if this doesn't go here.... I really have no idea where to put this question...
I was discussing my egg 'business' at work a little while back and a local store has begun to stamp their store logo on their eggs. We thought this was a little odd becuase I'm pretty sure they...
