    chickens missing tail feathers

    I just picked up some chicken from a farm. They were all kept in a barn, and hay was used on the floor. Some are missing all their tail feathers, some only a couple, and some are missing none. I got them on Wednesday. To me it seems like the are trying to set up who is in charge and they...

    Got new chickens, should i trust eating their eggs?

    So this past week I picked up a handful of new chickens. All different kinds of breeds. I saw at the barn they feed the chickens the same food I feed mine. My wife and I cracked one open and looked, and it looks fine. The shell is not as hard as the eggs from our other chickens. But I...

    Leghorn breed, Rooster or Hen? 6 weeks old..

    I know the mother is a Leghorn. Not sure on the father. Chicken is 6 weeks old. I had another chicken from the same hen. And that chicken is almost 5 months old now, and her crown was nowhere near as big as this ones. And the other 4 in the picture are a different breed, but none of them...

    New hatched chicken, only one that looks like this

    I just finished my first incubation and had 5 eggs hatch. Out of the 5, one was a leghorn breed, and the others were ameracaunas. The leghorn was the only one to have a comb started on the head already. Does this mean their is a good chance it will be a rooster? Or is it just the breed.

    First owned chicken starting laying eggs. :)

    So after moving from the city into the country, I decided to get chickens. They were born on or around mother's day. Well my Golden Comet (McNugget) started laying eggs either last night or this morning.

    Homemade incubator, or store bought? What do you think?

    I am sure at some time there is a thread like this, most likely called something else since I wasnt able to find it quick skimming over the topics. But I want to get people's opinion. What do you think is better? If you think homemade, and you have your own homemade. Post a picture of it...

    Incubator dropped to 98 overnight.

    I just started my incubation process yesterday. Last night at some point of time between 3a.m. and 7a.m. my incubator dropped to 98. I had it holding good between 99.5 and 100.3 all day. With the drop down, did this ruin the eggs?

    help with the gender

    I am trying to figure out the gender of the white chicken in this picture. About 3 months old in this picture. According to who I got this chicken from, the hen was a Leghorn and the rooster was a Old English. I don't know if that info will help or not.

    fan or no fan in homemade incubator?

    I am not sure if people have talked about this or not, but I'm sure it had to come up before. Just want to get an up to date feeling. Making a homemade incubator with a Styrofoam cooler, using a light for heat. Should I throw a can in there to make it moving air?

    Thoughts on having eggs shipped to you to incubate?
