    Chickendoors.com NOW WORKING!

    The door and the frame were out of alignment. The door was installed so that the top outside edge and the bottom inside edge were binding with the frame. I loosened the frame and got as close to square as possible, and then shaved the bottom edge of the door down. It works now, but will...

    Power outage 24 hrs prior to hatch

    awoke to a freezing house, and a cool incubator. I turned on the gas logs in the fireplace and set the incubator on the hearth. I would turn it around about every 20 mins. The temp got down to 80. A few hours later the power came back on. I plugged in the incubator, hoped for the best, but...

    14 of 16 hatched!

    I had set 20 eggs, 16 made it to lockdown, 14 hatched. What is my hatch rate? 70% ? 87.5% ? Of the original 20, the four that had no development, were the ones that the thermometer was sitting on. Poor choice of placement on my part, but I have learned something, so not a waste. I had...

    Saw a listing for Cinnamon Queens and I inquired as to what rooster and hen were used. The response was Cinnamon Queens are a breed. I thought that they were a type of sex link. Please educate me!

    Ebay be(aware)

    After a misleading ad leading to a disappointing purchase, I put it behind me as a learning experience. While looking elsewhere for eggs, I came upon a picture the seller has in her ad. It seems that the picture is not one of her chickens! She stole/borrowed it from another site. In...

    Golden Comets x Golden Comets

    While searching for sex link eggs I came across and auction for sex link eggs. I sent the seller a question: What breed rooster and hen were used for the Golden Comets? Answer, Golden Comet and Golden Comet. Not what I was looking for! Just curious, what would be the result of the cross?

    BO likes to stand on MY foot

    What is this behavior? Is it a territorial thing, like claiming me as her own. A few days ago, she kept rubbing against my leg and trying to get into my lap when I sat down. I wound up carrying her around for a bit while she rubbed her head against my chest. Sounds sweet and all, but I bet...

    'New' chickens laying

    So I got these chickens a week ago, and assuming that the move to their new home would upset them, they would not lay for a while. With that in mind, I was down to a few eggs so I got a dozen from a friend. Well, it seems that the chickens are all 'fat and happy' in their new digs, and have...
