My husband did me up this fancy spreadsheet! You just copy and paste one of the examples for however many you need, and punch in your numbers in the first box, it fills in the rest of your numbers, and then just put in your note!
It calculates for a 13.5% loss by day 18. :)
I have been...
Okay, so, I want to buy eggs to hatch and need all of the help with it. I haven't been able to find a "hatching 101" kind of post so if there is one.... Someone please link it for me! :)
I'm looking at the Brinsea mini... But I'm not sure if I want the advanced or the eco?
How long can you...
I'm on the hunt for a pretty splash pullet. Doesn't have to be SQ, but I definitely want that puff ball silkie look.
Located in Idaho, willing to ship in.
This thing made me put a price in.. I'm willing to pay whatever going price is for them, which I have no idea what it is! LOL
I'd be interested in some Fantasy RP that isn't animals (if people are playing animals, that's cool, but I don't want 100% animals, or mostly animals), doesn't require you to post a zillion times a day. Something more laid back/casual. I've been doing text-based RP since the AOL 3.5 days...
I have 10 silkies. 2 of them are 7 weeks on Monday, and my little ones are 3.5 weeks. When is it okay to put them all outside? I don't want to move the older ones out, and then the little ones later, since I want them all to stay together.
Should I wait until the little ones are 5-6 weeks...
I'm looking for plans that are similar to William Sonoma's Cedar Chicken Coop.

Does anyone know of anything similar?
I would like to try to make my own, but I am not very handy...
I brought two puffballs home a couple hours ago, and it is getting pretty dark. They don't seem to be settling down at all. They're in a clear storage bin, could that be the problem? Should I maybe put a small box or something in there so they have something dark to go into?
Well, after finding out that my chicks won't ship for a month, I'm considering going to a local hatchery and picking out a couple babies.
Would there be any problems with putting the new babies with the older chicks?
I just placed my order for 8 gray silkie chicks from Ideal! Everyone cross your fingers for me that I get mostly girls. LOL. Oh, and a blue splash girl! I REALLY want one!
They'll ship out the 29th, and I will post pics when I get them, and get them all set up in their brooder!
Like the title says... wondering if this is a good starter kit?

I have a pool that I plan to use as the base, rather than paper, but it isn't very tall since it is intended for my little dogs. I think it is maybe 6" or so high.
I have local...
Once I get my husband on board I'll be on the hunt for some silkies! Does anyone know of any breeders/hatcheries in the area that have silkies? I'd need females only, and I would love to have at least one blue splash!
I'm looking at getting started with chickens. I still have to get my husband on board, but I have a feeling he will go for it!
I'd like to get a coop with an attached run. We are not very DIY people over here, but if something comes with all of the parts, I can put it together easy enough...
