    Wheaten Maran cross question

    I lost my Wheatens to hawks so my plan was to restock one of my coops with Wheaten Marans this summer but found nothing locally and resorted to hatching eggs online which arrived dirty and some with what looked like green powdery mold on them. Ended up hatching only one out of 9 that ends up a...

    Chicken with no butt!

    Picked up some Saphire Gems from Rural King from Hoover Hatchery 11 weeks ago. They were supposed to be all pullets, which this one does not appear to be. He is the oddest shape and built more like a dinosaur than a chicken. He's got no butt! The others all have more of a traditional shape as...

    Tractor Supply crap shoot

    Bought Production Reds, Gold Sex Links, ISA Browns, and EE's. All are 8 weeks old. All were supposed to be sexed and pullets. As usual a few seem to be turning into boys and one of those doesn't look like any of the 4 types I bought. What is #1 ?? Looks Roo but what is he? The pics below...

    Holding Quail egg for brooding??

    How many days can you accumulate eggs before bring them up to temp in a brooder? Is there a temp range that should be maintained before putting in brooder?

    Chickens are addictive, building coop #2

    We have 6 assorted pullets just starting to lay and have decided to get another 10 or so chicks this spring. Started coop number two this weekend. Picked up lots of ideas from the forum that will go into the coop. It will have a 10' x 12' run plus the 4' x 8' space underneath. Updates later.

    Not laying in egg boxes?

    EE dropped her first egg in the run yesterday and it went unnoticed. It was a little odd shaped. The second one was dropped in the coop this morning and is a perfectly shaped olive green egg! They were both tasty and the shells were hard as a rock. I just started putting oyster shell in the run...

    Easy and cheap way to increase ventilation

    I built my coop this past fall, but since then, have decided I probably need more ventilation for Louisiana's stupid hot summers. Looked at adding vents or more windows with hardware cloth. I like the idea of being able open and close in the winter, or during bad weather. Came up with these 7"x...

    Happy with Ideal poultry

    Ordered 7 hens knowing the odds we'd probably end up with a roo in the bunch. One of the reds did turn roo on us and he was given away along with the 11 silver laced wyandotte roo packing peanuts.They are now 9 weeks old and doing very well. They were moved into the coup at 6 weeks and have the...

    New chicks from Ideal Poultry

    Ordered 7 chicks from Ideal. 2 RR, 2 Buff Rocks, 1 Bared Rock, 1 Australorp, and 1 Ameraucana. Chicks arrived in great shape at the post office and was surprised when I picked them up and had 11 additional Silver Laced Wyandotte roos as added "warmth". I thought maybe we'd get a couple of extras...
