    My chicken caught a fish!!!

    I just had to share - I was sitting down at the creek enjoying the afternoon sunshine. The girls like to scratch around along the mud and get drinks from the water. Suddenly- one of our white Leghorns ran up from the creek with a little tiny 3" fish in her mouth...it was still wiggling. She...

    Temperature question for Lockdown

    During incubation, the temp was 100°F at the top of the eggs. When I removed the egg-turner in my still-air incubator, the temperature was lower on the screen than at the top of the egg-turner. (95°F) Should I raise the temperature of the incubator to adjust for this or leave it be.?

    Movement before Lockdown but still no chicks

    We started lockdown on Wednesday. They were all moving around inside their eggs before we did this. However, I'm not hearing any peeping nor seeing any pips. This is our 2nd try at incubating. The first time we didn't have any hatch - (they were all 1/2 dead in their eggs). I really...

    White egg-laying Bantam Barred Rock?

    This is Charlotte - when she was a chick, we thought we were purchasing a Blue Andalusian. She is small in stature - almost bantam sized. However - she lays a small WHITE egg - so we have to count Barred Rock out. What do you think she is?
