    At a loss for what this hen is!

    Been a long time since I've been around. Got some TSC chicks about 18 weeks ago and this one has me puzzled. I've made numerous guesses watching her grow but I don't really know and would love to hear everyone's opinion. :) She is not flighty, pretty friendly mostly and her black feathers are...

    Salmon Faverolles 3 weeks old: Could it be a roo? That's what I initially thought

    But now there is all this brown coming in and I'm confused so thought I'd post a few pics and see if the experts here could help me out with what I am seeing. Hatched from an egg order from MPC (the only one to hatch) Thanks!

    Pics!! 2 weeks old and going strong--thanks to everyone at BYC

    Here's some pics of my first ever chick I hatched, now exactly 2 weeks old. A big thank you to all here for all the information and questions and answers that everyone posts! I *believe* Cpt. Bling is a boy. I doubt he will be SQ chick but he's special to me ... (He's supposed to be a Salmon...

    Ideal

    I am so disappointed. I ordered SF from Ideal (said were available) back in August and they just arrived this a.m. and they didn't include even ONE SF. When I called they said that they didn't have any so they sent me a bunch of Leghorns, said they were sorry they guess they forgot to call so I...

    Disappointing to say the least-no eggs

    I received the email saying they were shipped on the 7th and no shipment as of yet. I am assuming as they sit who knows where over the weekend now they will surely be DOA. No tracking # just a shipment label number saying they received a label (how helpful ). I guess I'll try ordering eggs off...

    This could be in the wrong place (?)

    I was wondering if anyone could help me understand buying eggs to hatch on EBay. Sometimes I see eggs for sale that have a quantity button, but the listing says 24+ (for example) then a price $36.00 but does that mean $36.00 for each egg or for a batch of 24? This seems like such a stupid...

    They shipped and now

    I am so nervous I almost want to back out of trying to incubate! I have cold feet for sure! Now who's the chicken lol. At night I am positive that I will mess this up so badly and kill all the babies by some stupid mistake. By morning I just can't stand waiting to see if they are here. I have...

    Brinsea Mini Advanced and humidity measurement question

    I have never incubated eggs before and I finally got my incubator (no eggs yet). I keep reading where the weighing of the eggs is a good indicator of humidity but then I read about getting a hygrometer for humidity but I don't see how you use a hygrometer with the Mini, I mean, does it go...

    Thought I would share a pic or two of my three African geese now 8 weeks old!

    I can't believe they are already 8 weeks. It seems like just yesterday I had little goslings following me everywhere.

    Nutrena chick starter

    I am so mad. I just reached in to the bag to get some more feed, about halfway through the bag, and it's filled literally with mold. Thankfully, the chicks all seem to be okay. I will never, never buy Nutrena again. DH is picking up some Purina Flock Raiser for me on his way home. I tried to...

    Prolapse 1 week old chick

    Update: Looks like she may be out of the woods. Hi all, Well, one of my pullets prolapsed yesterday morning. I worked all day yesterday with her pushing it back in but everytime she poos it pops right back out. I searched for prolapses in babies but most info was for older hens. My question...

    Chicks arrived!

    Shipped from Ideal on Wed and here this a.m. All are healthy and active! I was surprised there were 6 peanuts in the bunch. But I am officially a Jersey Giant novice owner! :)

    Early birds!

    So I thought I had until next Wed to ship day, but Ideal called TODAY and asked if they could ship TODAY. Of course, I said sure. Then I realized that I had put off finding all my old brooder stuff and getting it out, cleaning, and checking that it all still even works because I was sure I had...

    Hello from Oklahoma!

    Hello all, I had such a great time reading all the posts I just had to join. I'm sure I'll learn SO much from everyone :) I currently have no chickens, but my order is due next week with 10 giants, which I am so excited about. I ordered them from Ideal. I am not new to chickens, but my old...
