I had 5 chicks hatch. All of them were from my own flock. None of the shipped eggs that I set hatched. One of the chicks is having problems and can't stand up, so it will probably have to be culled.
I candled and pulled clears, quitters, and bloodrings. I'm down to 14 eggs from 54, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that most of these hatch! I also have 2 hens that are broody for the first time, one's a Naked Neck who is sitting on well over 20 eggs (I accidentally dropped one when I was...
As part of a surprise chick special I purchased from PapaBrooder last year, I received 4 autosexing oliver egger project chicks, 2 male and 2 female. They are F1, and I'm sure PapaBrooder is using Rhodebars from Greenfire Farms, and based on the other breeds he's raising, I'm guessing he's using...
Demosthine is right, I do lacto fermentation, I got the two types mixed up. I don't add vinegar or anything else to my batch, I set the lid on the top of the bucket loosely, and I use water straight from the hose (in tucson). After I feed in the mornings, I add more dry grains and water, and...
I ferment my feed, but I do the alcohol fermentation. Several things I read when I first started made it seem preferable to lacto fermentation.
Maybe you're not stirring it often enough? It should be stirred at least twice per day. I've never had mine go moldy and I've only dumped it once due...
Does anyone know if boxes approved for shipping chickens can be re-used? Is that allowed by the post office? Also, to piggyback on Angelray's post, how would I look up the restrictions for shipping live chickens to other states, since NPIP certification is pretty much non-existent in AZ (I know...

What do you guys think of this roo? I hatched him from an egg. Would he be considered good for breeding? I've been trying to sell him on Craigslist with no luck.
Does anyone in Tucson or nearby raise true Araucanas? I bought 3 batches of Araucana hatching eggs last year and only hatched 3 chicks, and all 3 turned out to be roos! Two of them are gorgeous, rumpless and clean faced, and the third has kind of a pitiful tail. I would give any or all of them...
Outcross throwback Buff Orpington it is! I guess some other factors that kept me thinking she was a different breed is she was originally much more skiddish than the white-legged Orps, and she feathered in almost completely before the white legged ones had any feathers. Now the only way I can...
I definitely got them from Meyer, but since they were an assortment, the breeds were not specified, and I've been stumped about this yellow-legged buff girl since the beginning. I must have dreamed that Meyer announced they were carrying Buff Rocks, because I vividly remember thinking AH HA! I...
These chickens were part of a Brown Egg Layer Assortment hatched around July 5th (6. months old now). I got 4 buff orpingtons, 1 buff rock (I think, she feathered in WAY faster than the orps and has yellow legs), 3 australorps, 1 jersey giant, and 6 white rocks. Most, if not all of them are laying.
