    My son bought a pair of modern games 1 1/2 weeks ago at a poultry show. The birds came from the same line that won the champion bird came from, so my son was really excited. Anyway, the hen is almost 2 years old. She laid her 1st egg for us a couple of days ago. It was a soft-shelled egg...

    broody bantam? when do I move, and how many LG eggs can she hatch?

    My son has some 6 month old partridge cochin bantams. One is exhibiting some signs of broodiness. I've been wanting one to go broody, leaving eggs in the nesting box for 2 days or more at the time. One nesting box was the only one they were laying in. Finally, I decided to move a few eggs to...

    Help--incubating problems with Little Giant 9200

    I am on my 4th hatch of chicks, and I am obviously doing something really wrong. Out of 41 eggs, the most I've ever gotten to hatch is about 20. I have an egg turner, I store my eggs properly before incubating them, and I even got my hubby to install a CPU fan to circulate the air inside the...

    I have some chicks that have just hatched. The only roosters I had with my hens were RIR, but I have a variety of hens: black australorp, RIR, silver-laced wyandotte, barred rock, and golden-laced wyandotte. I have hatched black sexed-link chicks before, so I know what some of them look like...

    Funny-tasting eggs and egg washing

    I hope I am putting this under the right forum topic: I have had complaints over the last couple of months from 2 people that I have sold eggs to and from my parents who I give eggs to that my chickens' eggs taste funny (one of the buyers complaining grew up on farm-fresh eggs, and my Mom grew...

    12 or 13 day old eggs--if properly stored will they still hatch?

    I was going to put 34 eggs in my incubator today (Wed.), but in order to avoid a staggered hatch, I am thinking of waiting until Monday. The oldest eggs stored in my basement will be 12 or 13 days old then. Are they too old to be viable? I could collect more eggs from my chickens Friday and...

    Black sex link pullet? What does a red sex link pullet look like?

    I had a chick hatch today that I thought was solid black until we picked it up from the incubator and moved it to the brooder. We then realized that it has some white on its belly. Can black sex link pullets have some white on their stomachs? Mine looks like the black sex link chick pictures...

    RIR chick just hatched with leg problem

    Hi. I just had an RIR chick hatch. I noticed it had trouble standing up--that the joint in each leg was red. A few minutes ago it was fluffed up enough to be taken out of the incubator. We noticed that one of the bones was sticking out of it's leg joint and the other leg joint was just about...

    What is the difference between black orpingtons and black australorps?

    I bought 5 young black hens from a couple about a month ago. I thought they were black australorps (the couple did not know--they bought them as chicks in a bantam bin--they are not bantams by the way--at Tractor Supply). I was planning to breed them to a young australorp roo that I have. I...

    I have a 5wk old BO that started to have an eye problem about 1 week ago--I'm not exactly sure when. She and her brooder mates are currently on corrid for coccidiosis, but I only started them on that yesterday. These same birds had to be treated for mites about the same time that the eye...

    5 week-old chicks--blood in box and in feces

    Let me explain. I lost several chicks in my new "flock" before realizing that they had mites. I never knew to check for such a thing, especially in chicks who had never been out of doors. The last chick that died over a week ago was covered in mites, and when I looked at the others, they were...

    sex link chicks--what would I come up with?

    If I cross a RIR roo with a barred rock hen, I'll get black sex link chicks, right? Will I be able to tell them at 1-day old, and if so, what coloring would I look for in the pullet and what coloring would I look for in the cockerel? I also saw in another BYC forum a reference to crossing a...
