    Sex my Orpingtons??

    I bought 2 Orpingtons when they were 2 weeks old. They are now 10 weeks and I'm thinking that I may have a hen and a roo. I'm totally new to chickens though and really have no idea what I have. Really am hoping that it's one of each! Can anyone tell by looking at this pic? As you can see...

    Cool down?

    This week will be my first time incubating. I made a forced air incubator from a styrofoam box. The eggs will be hand turned. I've done a lot of research on ducks, incubating the eggs, etc. I haven't seen very much though on cooling them down. Should I cool them down daily? If so, what...

    New BYC Member

    Hi everybody! My husband and I wanted to get two ducklings for our daughters. I just couldn't find any around here. I got to searching on the internet for ducklings and would often end up on BYC. After a few weeks of reading posts on here, I decided to build an incubator and hatch my own...
