Not new to hatching or chickens, but am new to my new Sportsman 1502.
Metal racks are always at a tilt making insertion/removal of egg racks impossible.
Nothing in the manual about this, can’t find info on the web.
Is there an over ride? Can I manually level the racks without breaking...
Hi,
I have a gorgeous French feather legged Splash Marans and I am toying with the idea of adding a Polish hen to his flock, just for fun.
He carries the makings of dark chocolate brown eggs (lovely eggs from my non related, French feather legged SM hens)... If I cross a Polish with him, do I...
Hi~
I'm looking for large fowl frizzled cochins for a breeding project. Quality birds… chicks, juveniles or adults.

Thank you,

My name is Laura and I'm a hatch-a-holic. (Welcome to my 12-step meeting!! LOL)
So I have several incubators going in my laundry room. Two have egg turners in them ... chugging along... and one is full of eggs at about Day 20. These eggs are ones that I bought for my son's third grade...
This is an auction for 6+ hatching eggs from my young trio of Mille Fleur Leghorns - Hawke and his ladies, Daisy and Lily. They are from Sandhill Preservation stock and since I don't show, I can't guarantee that these are show quality birds. They have a diet of organic laying pellets, access to...
I have a batch of mottled java eggs from onthespot (she's awesome!) and I got them out to candle them before setting them to hatch.... Based on my notes, day 18 isn't until tomorrow, but I was too eager to wait so I decided to candle them this evening...
Yowza! I almost dropped an egg when it...
I've been buying fertile hatching eggs for a while... until I fell in love with giant cochins. Now I have 4 sets of breeding birds - each set is 1 roo with 3-5 hens - and I've been waiting and waiting and WAITING for the girls to begin laying... and for the boys to do their jobs... and today I...
My girlfriend, Marilyn, has a cough running through her flock. It started with one and now at least 5 birds are coughing. She is dosing them with Sulmet, but is really worried that the cough will spread (she has a lot of birds) and that she'll lose them all.
I feel responsible because I gave...
Does anyone have a frizzled BCM roo or cockerel that they would like to sell?
I'm in California - 95070 - and will drive or pay for shipping.
THANK YOU!
Would they have beards and cheek tufts?
Would they get dad's feathered feet?
If the hens lay blue eggs, will the chicks grow up to lay olive eggs?
Thanks! (this stuff is addictive, too, huh?)
One thing has lead to another...
I recent fell in love with my blue olive-eggers (courtesy of onthespot) which are from black copper marans hens covered by a splash ameracauna roo... AND ...
I have an order of excellent quality wheaten ameracauna chicks coming in April (from John Blehm)...

I have been hatching up a storm and am finally selling the "pick of the litter" chicks that I can't keep. They have all been handled regularly, raised on organic, non-medicated feed and have been living in my laundry room...
Hi All~
I just received 3 mature birds from BYCer lockedharts. They are a beautiful trio of standard splash cochins. They are doing very well - eating and drinking and scratching the dirt and pooping. They are off to themselves so that they can acclimize to my place and the changes. (Don't I...

San Francisco Bay Area/CA: Local pick up only, no shipping, sorry!
I had to place a minimum order with Ideal Poulty in Texas just to get a handful of special chicks. As a result, I have extras for sale. All chicks were hatched on October 13, 2009...

I am feeling so down right now. In tears. I know it'll get better and that none of this is truly important, but, boy, does it weigh heavy on me now.
I lost a chick this morning.... I have a thread going on what to do to save chicks that have peeped, begun to zip and stop (for a day and a half)...
