    First butchering

    I just killed my first chicken ever. He was 14 weeks old, raised from eggs I hatched and it was successful but time consuming! From kill to refrigerator brining was 1 1/2 hours. I had to do it while hubby was at work but I can tell it would be much quicker with two people. I'm making stock now...

    Trying this again...breed?

    Hello! I hatched these chicks from eggs I purchased from a guy selling them as eating eggs. I posted pics of the chicks right after they were hatched but it was too soon to tell what breed they were. They are 7 weeks old now. Can anyone tell what breed they might be? Thanks!

    New Years Chicks...can you tell the breed??

    Hello! I had my sweet hubby purchase 2 dozen eggs from a local seller that sells eggs for eating... $4/dozen. Well...on a hunch I stuck them in the incubator and 3 weeks later I have 13 babies. Can anyone tell what breed they might be? They are either all yellow with pink legs or yellow and...

    Hens or Roosters? 5 months old!

    Chicken#1 Chick #2 Chick #3 These were all hatched at the same time and are five months old. I gave away four roosters yesterday but have a feeling I might have more to give away. Do these look like roosters? They aren't crowing (yet)..the four from yesterday were all very vocal and...

    Gave my roosters away today...I'm sad!

    Hello! I aquired 11, 2 week old chicks about 5 months ago. Its been so much fun watching them change from fluffy, little cheepers to beautiful birds. Three roosters have been getting very aggresive with the hens lately in what I would guess to be pre-breeding behavior. They would peck and chase...

    Pasty butt, or something else...please look, pics

    This chick is now 5 days old and I keep having to wash its butt with warm water. The area is red and inflamed as well and I can't see the vent. What does look like an opening, is much higher than it should be in my novice opinion. What do you think? in a different light

    Worried about a new chick - 4 days old

    I noticed today one of my new chicks had poop caked to its rear. At first I tried to pry it off but it was on good and was hurting the chick. I took the chick into the bathroom and used a warm washcloth and scrubbed at the area until I got it clean. Where the vent should be is red and inflamed...

    I'd like to try hatching duck eggs...

    I've done two batches of chicken hatching eggs with not the best results. I got 0 live hatches from my first batch of 18 eggs, and 4 of my second batch of 13. I'd love to try duck eggs, would anyone be willing to send me some eggs for the cost of shipping? Thanks!!!

    My second hatch, happy with the results!!

    I got these eggs from a member here, thanks dizzychicken! They are adorable! I'm still trying to hatch out the remaining eggs but I moved these 4 chicks out of the bator this morning.

    Nasty looking stuff coming out of hatched chicken butt

    Well, we have 4 chics and they all seem to be ok so far. This is day 21 and of the 13, 4 have hatched. One of the chics had a gross yellow/white mass hanging from its butt area...I'm guessing part of the yolk not yet absorbed. What worried me more than that was these little green balls (like...

    Help! My early bird in the bator is a bully!!!!

    I've got 2 out so far, the first born is pecking the he!! out of a chick that just hatched! The newest chick obviously doesn't like it either, she tries to stumble out of the way just to be followed! What should I do! I know the bully must be doing this out of hunger....but I still have 11 to...

    Day 21 and there is one chicky so far!!! Questions!!!

    I know I've read a dozen places that chicks can live 2 days without food or water. I woke up this morning to find one had hatched...it is still wet so I know he/she needs to fluff up before moving to another area, but I've also read that to prevent undo stress in the new chick, have food and...

    Are these all pullets?

    I am wondering if the sexed chicks I got are indeed pullets? I've noticed with my hens, they all have white-ish legs and these all have yellow. Their tail feathers all look a little suspicious to me as well. I'm NO expert and would love your opinions! They are about 2.5-3 months old...

    Rotten Eggs

    Now I'm down to 7 eggs in my incubator, from an original 18. Why do they keep getting rotten? Were they old eggs? Never fertilized? I am getting sick walking into the spare bedroom to check on the bater temperature only to smell *THAT* smell. What gives?
