    New Year's Babies

    I have new babies in the hen house today! I'm so excited! I want to take photos to share but I don't want to upset mama anymore than I already have by peeking under her at the three new chicks I saw, one light gold color, one medium golden buff, and one mostly black like my avatar, who is...

    Chick With Bubbles in Eyes and Shaking Its Head

    I think I have a disaster at my house, but I'm not sure. I apologize for the long story. I bought some hatching eggs on ebay and hatched a single chick out of the eggs purchased. It was entirely my fault, I think, that the hatch went so badly. The poor thing had a difficult hatch, too...

    21 Days of Anxiety Leads to Building My Own Incubator

    I am 5 hours away from the end of the 21st day of my first hatch, or non-hatch as the case may be, and there is not a single pip. This may change. My temps may have been low. They may have been too low. I attempted to use an old Hovabator still-air incubator, and I can now see how...

    The Deliciousness of Bantam Eggs

    I think my bantam eggs are much tastier than the big girl eggs. Is anyone else as sold on these not-so-little gourmet treats? Except for one woman I met who told me that if she had it to do over she would only have bantams, I never see or hear this subject discussed. I attribute the extra...

    Crazy Saga of Freezing Feral Chickens in Alaska

    Hello and thanks in advance for any assistance offered. I live in southcentral Alaska outside of Anchorage about 50 miles. The area is semi-rural and heavily wooded, and I and all my neighbors own at least one acre, and many of us own two or more acres. My neighbor has always kept chickens...

    Rank Newbie with Bantam Easter Eggers

    Hi, all. I am brand new to the forum and to chickens. I currently have my very first chickens, and they are bantam Easter Eggers I purchased locally. The chicks are within a day or two of being six weeks old. I was hoping for help with sexing these guys, if it's possible at this time...
