I started incubating 10 eggs on March 26th. The lady I got them from said they had been laid the Wednesday and Thursday before. I counted forward 21 days from when she said they were laid to get a hatch date. I took them out of the turner this past Monday afternoon. They still haven't hatched...

This chick is an approx. 5 week old Buff Orpington. I'm new at this but I'm guessing this comb and wattles points to being a roo since it is so young. Any chance I'm wrong? Here a picture looking up under his chin. Fully body Just for comparison here is one of his hatching mates. Not the...

We had a broody who hatched out 6 eggs last week. Two of these have what looks like eye liner around their eyes! They are gorgeous chicks I just had to share. Here are the two together. One is more reddish than the other.

We have had these girls for awhile now. We got them back in February or March. After being on here for awhile I am concerned that perhaps we were sold what we thought were true breed chickens and maybe they are not. So I am posting some pictures for feedback on breeds. Above each picture I will...

I had four chicks hatch out the last few days and I am trying to decide which breeds they are. Of course they hatched out over night so I couldn't see who came out of which egg. All were fertilized from a Buff Orpington rooster and either an EE, BO, Australorp or BR hen laid them! Any thoughts...

I awoke this morning to two little chirping chicks!! And one more egg that I can see a little beak in so it should be here sometime today! These chicks are kinda special to me because we weren't sure we would even be able to get them because it had was a week after our rooster was killed that...

Well we got our game camera set up after losing some chickens and we finally caught some pictures of it. Turns out our guess was right as to what got the chickens. Now to get rid of it! This last one worries me the most since it was taken at 7:04AM! Usually our chickens are out at that...

I thought I had it all figured out which girls were laying which eggs, but after some reading around here I am confused on all but one! I will post a picture. It is obvious who the blue/green egg belongs to. It's the others that puzzle me. We get a dark brown egg with speckles everyday. Every...

Hey everyone! Just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself. I am not new to chickens as animals, but I am new to raising them for eggs. My dad is a contract grower so I grew up working in those houses. A year ago we decided to start raising chickens so that we could have fresh eggs. I...

Hi everyone! I am hoping someone might be able to help me. Something go into our chicken pen last night. Our rooster and one hen (both Buff Orpingtons) were dead inside the coop with no visible marks on their bodies. Two other hens are missing with no traces of them anywhere (no blood or...
