Hi. I am going to set these 15 eggs, from 3 farms. The top 2 gray ones are my chicken eggs. The white one is from one farm, the rest are from the last farm. I will set on Friday for the New Years day hatch along. They will likely hatch the day of or the day after. It is still the holidays so I...

These are not the prettiest eggs I ever had, but they are some fun ones. I also have young hens growing up, so I hope to get more interesting ones in a couple more months. But here is a few of my current eggs. I wish my olive egger was laying she was giving dark green, she is not a year yet and...

I thought I would post a goofy chicken keeping moment. My neighbor wanted eggs. I dropped off eggs. When I got home I looked in mirror, I had done a spa day, with lotion on my face, then I went to the coop, a rooster kicked dirt in my face, I thought the dirt would stuff off, but forgot the...
My hen was attacked and bloodied. A hawk was hanging out and brave enough to sit on a fence 15' from me. At first I thought she got beat up by a goose, that has beat her up before. But this hawk keeps hanging out. Today I was prossessing 2 roosters, one rooster ran off 20' or so, and the hawk...

I had eggs (6) in a farm innovator 2100 still air hand turn. After hatching in it almost straight for 6 years? It started to go bananas, on my second to last hatch, but I tried it again and it seemed to be fine until this last hatch with 6 eggs. The temp shot up to 106. I...
I am having a paparazzi hatch-a-long. I may or may not like these people, but they have been posted the most in gossip mags. This is your chance to own a famous egg- or pretend to be that egg. I have 22 eggs I am hatching because my current hatch was shipped eggs, that had been tipped over by my...

I had gotten 2 blue Ameraucanas in a Meyer's straight run rare breed selections. This one had no feathers on feet, and was a lighter blue, the other was darker blue and had feathers. This was the not as friendly growing up, but I always gave her her space. She came with 15 chicks and a meal...

DIY women may hate on this post, but why do guys hammer so well? I do my own projects because I don't have the patience to wait for a DH to do any job, but if they do, the can hit the hammer on the nail, 2x and be done. If I do it takes forever and I end up with a crooked nail , or one that...
These are set to hatch on Easter- or the 19th. I thought it would be fun to do the little mermaid. All were drawn on the computer. (my skills in paint.) Eggs were from a local farm, fridge and washed. (I know washing is not good.) Anyho- if you would like to chose someone from the little mermaid...
