    foster chick questions

    I have a friend who was having trouble hatching out eggs and/or keeping the little ones alive. He asked me if I could stick some eggs under my broody chickens. I now have 3 peachicks running around my growout pen with my other young chickens. Mama hen has been doing really well with them...

    customer says blood spots in eggs are gross??

    Question for you all. I have a regular customer who came up to me today and mentioned that she got 3 eggs with blood spots in them recently. She asked me if I candle them or anything. I don't of course. Evidentally she is really grossed out by them. Whenever I get a egg with a blood spot...

    Blocking in a broody

    Another post made me think of asking about my own silkies. I'm thinking splash. Would love it if someone would say lavender. What are my chances? Truth is, I really don't care what color they are- They are soooo cute!

    What is shrink-wrapped and how do I avoid it?

    I'm in the middle of my second hatch. I had a BCM seem to get stuck in it's shell. This morning was a full day since it had started to zip, so my DH and I decided to take it out and help it. The membrane was dried to it. Would spritzing it down with water have loosened it up? Or would the...

    WTB-leghorn hatching eggs. Not white or brown.

    I'm interested in hatching eggs for leghorns in any color besides white or brown. The chicken that is- not the eggs! Black, silver, Mille fluer, exchequer, would all be ones I'm especially interested in. Just looking for something unusual. Preferrably a seller on the east side of the country.

    My poor, poor DH. I have been spending all my time on BYC

    I just bought 2 EE chicks last week and have been sucking up like a sponge all the info I can from you guys. There's A LOT! My house is a wreck and I'm supposed to have Easter dinner here on Sunday?! Can everyone stop writing new posts so that I can step away from the computer and get some...
