    I bought my chicks and hens thinking our new coop would arrive sooner than it did. But we got busy building a tractor and had two humungous totes we used for brooders. That took care of things temporarily. Within a week, I knew the chicks were outgrowing their brooder boxes. Yikes! So I got busy...

    Who layed this egg?

    I have three age groups. The oldest group are Black Sex Links and all lay brown eggs. I have an Easter Egger in that group, and she lays an off white egg. The 'teenagers' group consists of 2 barred rock, one columbian wyandotte, 2 New Hampshire, and the rest are Rhode Island Reds. These two...

    Problems with New Run Need Advice Please!?

    I never thought of attaching to the building---that's a great idea! In the pic, the long side is next to coop, so the short side is in the center of the pic. I'm thinking it's going to be expensive to cover the whole thing. But from what I've read in the forums, it'll be a cost we won't regret.

    Problems with New Run Need Advice Please!?

    We built our run and now that it's almost finished, I can see where we are going to have some issues. I realize now that I want at least a partially covered run for shade, protection, and inclement weather. Problems: 1. I see now, that run off from the coop when it rains/snows will cause...

    Sick Chick Not Eating

    Sorry about your loss, but glad the other two are okay. I didn't know about their sight. I had gotten mine when they were older. Learn something new everyday! Good luck with your new babies!

    First Time Hatch Results!

    First time ever incubating/hatching. First time candling. Home made incubator (which was the pits, by the way) as I put it together too fast and should have tweaked it more. I learned a lot though. What works, what doesn't, and what could be better or things I hadn't thought about. I started...

    Quote: I was up most of the night, but went offline trying to catch something on video and adjusting humidity like crazy all night. I think I finally fell asleep about 4: 30am. Got up twice to check on them and then, my grandbaby woke me up just after 7am as one was zipping. That baby sure...

    Want to introduce my First Hatched Chicks. 4 Red Sex Links (Pics)

    lol I know what you mean! Are the new ones Red Sex Link too? I was wanting those! I wound up getting all my chicks/hens from the same gal. It was cheaper and easier at the time. I'm sure I'll get some though. My 6 hens are Black Sex Links. That's were the my incubator eggs came from. (2nd...

    OMG OMG OMG I have a PIP!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I add through the tube and through the vent holes. My logic is that I want to add all the way around? How many do you have left? How many did you start with? I forget. I see the start of another pip, but not much. One is peeping now. Geez! I just want at least one zip! lol Are you staying up...
