    newborn legacies from our recently lost and greatest rooster

    We recently lost our greatest Rooster to a Bobcat. Luckily we had some of his offspring in a bator. They just hatched a couple of days ago. He was a BLRW. Can you guess the mothers?

    First Pip on 19th day and then silence.....

    So all my eggs pipped (sp?) last night around 7-8pm on the 19th day of incubation. I took the incubator off of the auto-turn cradle and shut the vents to 1/3 open for extra humidity. I could hear the chicks in their eggs and all was very exciting. It's now 7am, 12hrs later, and nothing is...

    Weird Yolk Color!

    Can anyone please tell what is happening here. I went away for 5 days and most of the eggs that I came home to have yolks like this or yolks with a white circle in them. They were left in the coop for those 5 days and the weather was pretty hot. Is this the beginning of fertilization?? Is it...

    First eggs of the Flock - How do I get them to Hatch their own Eggs?

    Just found my first egg in the coop today on the floor. It's a shared coop with Chickens and they all get along fine. I would love to see if the Guineas could lay and hatch their offspring. Are there any tips as to how to get them to do it. I have 9 guineas and for sure 2 of them are female...

    Is this a chicken miscarriage? photo attached

    Walked into my chicken coop this morning and found an egg laying on top of what looks like egg whites and an unformed egg shell. What's also strange about this is that is was on the floor and not in a nesting box. Has anyone come across this??

    Searching by region?

    Is there a way to narrow things down by region on this forum? Something akin to craigslist? I live in the Berkshires and am always looking for breeders and other fanciers in the area, but can't seem to whittle down my search here.

    Introducing Chickens and Guineas

    I have 16 Guineas that are a mix of 20 and 10 wk olds. I just put them in a big coop where they have plenty of space and roosting options. They also spend the day free ranging outdoors. I would like to introduce laying hens now for eggs and am wondering about the potential issues I'm facing...

    Guineas are dying on me!

    I've had these Guineas for about 3 weeks. I got them when they were supposedly 7 wks old. They've been on a mix of medicated and non-medicated Turkey grower. They live on fresh grass and are moved almost daily. I change their water very often 1-2 times a day if it seems dirty. I lost the first...

    keeping Guineas without a coop

    I would like to know from some of you experienced Guinea folk if anyone kept their birds in a semi-wild state. The curiosity struck me because I would like to keep Guineas but would prefer to have them roost in the trees on my property. I have 30 acres and would keep them in a temporary pen for...

    Ducklings in the Rain

    I have a 3wk old and a 5wk duckling and they are transitioning to their outdoor living space. I put them out there all day and bring them in at night. It's been raining all day today and I wonder if it isn't dangerous or irresponsible to leave them outdoors the whole time. They have a place to...
