    Eggs and heat

    How long can eggs sit in the next box in this heat and still be safe to eat? I plan to be out of town and wondering- can I collect them all after a few days, or should I have someone come every day/every other day to collect? Is there a rule of thumb on this?

    question about integrating my chicks to the "flock"

    I hope it is ok to x-post this here...I tried first in the baby chick forum but didn't get any replies: A couple of weeks ago, I thought I successfully moved the chicks (3 of them) out to the coop to join the older girls (also 3 of them). Now, it seems that the big girls are constantly charging...

    is my black australorp still a pullet...24 weeks

    I was initially concerned because she was much more developed than my other of the same age: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/706488/black-australorp-pullet-or-rooster/10#post_9619892 Now, the less mature pullet has caught up, and is the only one of the the two to "squat" "squatting" -...

    Black Australorp - pullet or rooster?

    Hello, thanks in advance for any advice. I am a new chicken owner, and got what I believe are 4 pullets around 18 weeks old or so. None are laying yet. I am beginning to fear one may be a rooster as I think I hear the beginnings of a crow. But, again I am new to this so very possible it is...
