I have only hatched with incubator and decided to see what would happen with my broody silkie, I hatched her last November, she ended up with about a dozen eggs with some from her sisters. sometimes two hens shared the nest to keep them all warm.
They hatched one chick on Friday, and two on...
If I remember correctly, they are a cross of EE and Aracana
I hatched them, about 4 months old. Gentle, I pick them up.
I am going back to no roosters. They are mating, but do not crow yet.

I started innocently enough, picking up a stray feather, It was either a tiny one or a big tail feather. The more different types/colors of chickens, more feathers collected. filled tiny vases with feathers on kitchen windowsill,
have them in pint canning jars lined up on counter.
What do other...

These are from my own hens, last spring I hatched eggs, I had two naked necks, one lays green eggs, I put a green egg and some others RIR's in the bator, tomorrow is hatch day, well tonight I heard peeping and there were two yellow chicks and the green egg was open and empty.
This is just so...

I had 11 quail hatch, I left them in the bator to dry and get strong, 24 hrs later, I still have some hatch, so I followed some advice, put a quail waterer in the bator and now this am they are all wet.

This idea came from a BYC member.
We managed to get this on clearance and then ordered 5 more to be shipped to our local store. Our two neighbors want Playhouse Coops too!

which one have you tried and pro and cons?
How exactly would I do this?
Thank you

I have spent many hours outside watching chicken tv, and enjoying every minute. Today, while moving my new chicks from a rubbermaid tote to a larger box, they seemed to miss the clear sides to see out. So I made a window for them,
