    Sportsman 1502 -leveling racks?

    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...

    Polish x Marans = egg color?

    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...

    Almost made a HUGE oops!!!

    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...

    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....

    First 1 chicken with a cough... (and I think I am to blame)

    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...

    BCM roo x wheaten Ameracauna hens = olive eggers?

    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?)

    Wheaten Ameracauna breeding possibilities? Ideas?

    Lost a chick. Just took my kids to my ex's. Really down.

    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)...
