I have tried several times to hatch my Old English Game Fowl eggs in the incubator. During the winter, one hen went broody, but it was too cold so after 4 weeks she abandoned them. About a month ago, I tried again, and left the eggs where they lay them. After three or four days (or so) one hen...

I have tried several times to hatch my Old English Game Fowl eggs in the incubator. I left the eggs where they lay them and after three or four days one hen went broody. She hatched 7 chicks day before yesterday. She seems to be a very good momma. She has been keeping them under her wing and...

I bought two 6-month old trios of OLGFs last year. The cockerels were raised together so they got along pretty well... until the dynamics of the flock were disrupted by predators. I free range them a lot. In the early fall I lost two of the four pullets in a weeks time to hawks. The cockerels...

Has any one used a jersey giant as a meat bird? What was the feed conversion? How old do they need to be to process? Thanks in advance, Russ_t

I am interested in purchasing 6 - 12 blue to blue/green fertile Ameraucana eggs from a breeder in Central Texas. I don't wan't have them shipped, but will pick them up. I have tryed eggs through the mail but my results gave been dismal. I have successfully hatched Welsummers from my own...

Candled my eggs today. I don't see any movement, of the dark spots unless I move the egg. These eggs are 12 days in the incubator, but I had a power loss at day 9. I didn't see any movement before the power loss either though. I looked at the candling examples at they show much more movement...

I have 15 americuana eggs in the incubator. They were on day 9 when the switch on the power strip got switched off. I noticed it almost a day later. It was 80 degrees here today, but cooler last night. I have read posts of eggs that were later on in their incubation being lost. Is there hope...

I salvaged this crate and added the lid doors. The box is 30"x36". It is a good size for my 9 3-4 week old welsummers.
