    Looking at Incubators - Which is best?

    Never hatched chicks before but I've read some about it. I saw these two incubators online for the same price, same company, and seemingly same features, but different capacity.

    What ratio of Durvet Electrolytes and Vitamins powder should I add to the chicken's feed?

    I picked this up: and the back says you can add it to water or feed. As the water mix needs to be refreshed daily feed seems easier to deal with assuming dry feed is okay. Has anyone added this to dry feed and what ratio did you use? The package says to add it to a ton of feed and I can...

    I have an unplanned Roo but he is such a sweetpea I want to keep him. Will he hurt the hens?

    Hi all, I'm new to keeping chickens and have 3 pullets and 1 cockerel who was supposed to be pullet #4 (avatar pic). I wanted my flock to be girls only but this little guy has become my little buddy and so I'm reconsidering. One thing a friend with a flock said is that roosters tend to be very...

    Welsummer Pullet or Cockerel? (5ish weeks but getting some pink)

    Hi everyone! Thanks for the help last time with confirming my thoughts (and crushing my dreams of blue eggs) that my pullet Ameraucana is actually a cockerel EasterEgger. Now my Welsummer (5ish weeks) is starting to get pink on the waddles and a little on the base of the comb and I'm getting...
