    Huge Chicken Coop

    Beautiful large Leonard saltbox style coop, with 6 nest boxes, sliding glass windows, easy access door, 2 roosts and a bunch of fencing attached with it. I bought it a bit over a year ago and we now need to move. They are around $1000 new, but we can't take it with us, so I'm only asking...

    Selecting SQ polish chicks

    I just hatched a few bantam Polish chicks and am new to the breed, but these guys are from great breeding stock and I had thought about possibly showing for the first time. I am keeping all of them, but I was wondering what qualities do I look for in these tiny guys right now since there is...

    Bug eyed chicks

    I have found a few other threads on this, but no real explanation of the cause. My friend hatched these a few days ago and I took them with me since I have a peep ICU here and also am fascinated with genetics and mutations. They are from salmon Faverolles from the same bloodlines as mine...

    Color genetics experts guesses

    Ok this is supposed to be a meat bird experiment, but now that they have hatched I am very interested what colors I may get just for fun. So the roo is a huge salmon Faverolles boy. He was bred to a white laced red Cornish and a dark Cornish. Isn't the dark Cornish color basically a double...

    Many more mystery bantams, oh my! *pic heavy*

    Ok I couldn't help it, my friend asked me to pick up some assorted bantams for her, so I got them all. The first 2 are a week older and were posted on here before. They now have some wing feathers and may be a bit easier to identify. The first 4 are clean legged, all the others have fuzzy legs...

    Not a dark brahma, but what is it?

    I got a few chicks from TSC a week ago including a dark brahma pullet, or so I thought. I took a closer look at the peep yesterday and noticed a lot of orange feathers coming in on the chick. I didn't think dark brahmas have that color on them. The wings look kind of golden laced actually...

    Bantams! What did I bring home?

    I need to be banned from TSC during chick days. I go in there to get an egg basket and look at the peeps they just got in. Yay bantams! The guy sees me looking at them tells me he will give me the sickly ones they put aside half off. I fight him, but he sticks them in my bag anyway, at least...

    Help! Terrible coop fire, burned birds, destroyed coops. Need help in east TN! *graphic pics*

    My friend had a terrible fire on her property night before last. She lost many birds and rescued whoever she could and burning her own hands badly. Many hens died trying to save babies, so she doesn't even know for sure how many were lost. A few of the surviving birds are struggling to survive...

    Brooder Temperature Control

    Just thought you guys would like to see this nifty rheostat I came across, it's much cheaper then some of the infrared things from poultry supply places and better fit for small home brooders. I have used these with reptiles before and they work great. I would probably put 2 lights on the...

    Denizli hen or roo? *pic heavy*

    I have a single little Denizli, about 4.5 weeks old now and the only one I managed to hatch out of the shipped eggs. Now the question is boy or girl. I am leaning towards pullet, but I don't know the breed very well, so I am thankful for any input. The hairdo is a bit crazy right now, but it's a...

    Chocolate Orpington bantam boy or girl?

    I had one little single peep hatch who now is about 6 weeks old and I never had orp's before, so I have nothing to compare to. So what do I have here, boy or girl? I see little waddles, but they are tiny and the comb is small too, so my guess is pullet maybe? Also it is really shaggy looking...

    Weird and funny stuff our pets do!

    I just thought I would start a thread about our little fur kids and the silly and odd things they do. We have 2 oriental shorthair kitties(princess Snoz and Louie) and a chihuahua/poodle mix named Alley Capone living with us. Of course there is a flock of chickens living here too. The...

    Does anyone have experience with discrimination at work?

    Ok I never thought this would happen to me, but it now has. I was wondering if anyone has had experience with this and if anyone has some suggestions, I am thinking of getting a lawyer, but I am not sure if I even have a case here. I have usually worked with and for men and never had a problem...

    When is the safest time to transport eggs during incubation?

    Help I have a terrible emergency. I have eggs in the incubator that are due on the 12th, but we were given the wrong date for a family wedding that we will be out of town for and the now corrected date falls right on the hatch day and we won't be back until the 15th. So I am trying to get these...

    Past due date, but underdeveloped

    I had some chicks due to hatch yesterday, but to my horror I noticed that my incubator was 5 degrees too low yesterday morning, though it had been at the right temperature during the whole incubation when I checked. I adjusted it and it has been right on again since. I decided to check one of...

    Odd looking poo

    My chickens all look happy and healthy and are free ranging and no one acts sick, but yesterday I noticed a very runny clear poo in the driveway. I am thinking it is from my Faverolles roo named Boba Fett, it's only one chicken that is doing it. I looked up a page that has pictures of chicken...

    Stromberg's is great

    This summer my friend and I have tried a few hatcheries and Stromberg's was our last one of the year and we decided to order some dark and white laced red Cornish. I was very worried about our birds because the nights have been in the low 60's here, which is a bit lower then normal for this time...

    Chick backwards in egg

    OK I was wondering if someone has had a problem with this before or what the cause might be. I had 2 batches of eggs in the incubator from 2 different sources, both were shipped through the mail and both were set at the same time. The first batch hatched just fine, I only had 2 that didn't. The...
