I went to lock my chickens up yesterday and found my Golden Sebright rooster was missing. He is about 7 weeks old and fully feathered but is still very small. We have some tall weeds coming up behind our chicken coop which would offer protection from any predators. The only "predator" that would...

Ok, so I got four bantam chicks from my friend and she had no idea what they were, so here they are, I believe the first two are Golden Sebrights. The next I think could be a Silver Phoenix???? The last I am almost positive is a Buff Brahma. But I am not an expert so any help is appreciated. I...
I have an incubator with 35 good eggs and they are hatching now. I was wondering was when should I remove the chicks that have already hatched to the brooder, and will it hurt the remaining eggs and hatching chicks when I do it?
I am wondering if I should take the automatic egg turner out of my incubator or not for lock down. The last time I incubated I took the turner out on day 18, and I had 16 eggs all alive and bouncing around. I only had 8 hatch, one died while hatching, two were crippled with their legs turned...

Thx.

I ordered a dozen hatching eggs Monday, they are not here yet and tonight it is going to be twelve degrees. Will the cold affect my eggs en route?
Thanks.
Here's how the game goes: one person will post a picture of a mixed breed chicken(that they know what the breeds are) and people will attempt to guess the breeds if only one breed can be guessed the first person to post that breed will get it. The person who correctly guesses will then post a...
