    Looking to buy local eggs (Phoenix area)

    My mom and I had gotten some eggs for hatching. Only a few formed but none hatched. Many were scrambled. It was very disappointing. Because of the excessive heat I would like to find some in the Phoenix Valley area. Any area is fine. She is on the east side and I am on the west. We would both...

    Do they stop laying when it's hot?

    I used to get about an egg a day but not recently. And other people with chickens have said that they don' t really lay in the summer. If they don't lay in the summer or when they molt then when do they lay?

    Are mutts bad?

    I think that mutts are neat looking and can have unique features. I was thinking of adding a few. Not as breeding stock but just as some cool layers. But after reading some posts about breed quality I have to wonder if encouraging mutts is a bad idea.

    When is a dog full sized

    I have a puppy that was born mid- January. He is a peek-a-poo. When will he be at his full adult size. He's only about 5 pounds now, but both parents were small.

    I can't wait!!!!

    I have had so many problems getting a bator up and running. But I finally did it. thank you all for helping me get situated. I hope they hatch. I don't think I can wait 21 days. If this doesn't work I will try again. But at least I did it. It cost me more than I wanted to spend, and it took...

    thermometer issues.

    i bought new digital thermometer, it's the kind that tells the air temp outside, but also put in a thermostat that is used to check the temp inside a house. They are 3 degrees different. Who do I trust?

    Help, I got eggs and bator probs.

    So my plan was to use the toaster oven but the settings lie. It gets way too hot. So I didn't put my eggs in. Then my dad tries to rig me one but the light is too close to the Plexiglas and it started to warp and melt. So they never made it in there. So now I am building Ms.Prissy's bator but...

    90% accuracy?

    So if sexed chicks are only 90% does that mean that some roos will be hens as well. I know its just wishful t all the easter chicks from ideal are supposed to be white leghorn roos. I didn't know this at the time but I tried to get a female. Wishful thinking!?!?!

    Freezing eggs.

    I have read here that you can do it if you scramble them. Does anyone do this to keep some on hand in case their flock stops laying? I was thinking it might be a good idea for baking and scrambled eggs. But how do you defrost them?

    I can't pick a pullet to save my life.

    This is so frustrating. With my first 55 chicks I got 1 roo. Ok i get 90% accuracy. So I rehomed him. SO then a few month ago I find some youngsters but not chicks that were so cute and I could bypass the brooder stage. And they both end up being roos. Even though they were sold to me as...

    boy or girl? and what breed?

    I found this at a new feed store and they think that it's a she because there was no spur starting. Also I noticed the comb was a little different. I think it could be a white leghorn. But I thought that I would ask the pros. It was one of those dyed easter chicks at one time so it's still a...

    What is it, boy/girl, and how old?

    I gave away the 2 roos that were supposed to be pullets and the nice person that took them gave me a surprise. he says it's definitely a pullet. I've heard that before.

    What are they? update new pic

    I bought these pullets at the feed store because they were just so cute. I wanted to add a few to my small flock. They are so scared they won't let anyone go near them. I try treats but the older girls run up and snatch them. It's been about 2 months since they have been here and they were...
