Hi, I have a 1 year and 2 month old show-quality Mille Fleur d'Uccle rooster for sale. He's healthy, and mite/lice free. He has never been shown yet, but his mother won Best Feathered. I planned on showing him in the fair in October but I can't because I need to make room in my smaller coop for...

I just learned how to feather sex chicks by looking at their wings and I was wondering if anyone here can tell me if they've tried it and it's worked? Normally I wait until they're older and compare combs, but I would like to sex them while they're chicks without vent sexing them.

Hello, I have two show-quality d'Uccles I am selling, one rooster and one hen. Both are siblings and are healthy, mite/lice free, and are around 1 year and 2 months old. The hen is gentle and would be great for showmanship or just entering. The rooster won't attack but will sometimes peck you...

I'm getting the idea of wing sexing chicks, but I heard it's not reliable for all breeds of chickens. Can anyone please tell me if they've had any experience wing sexing any of the following breeds?: Australorps Jersey Giants Cochins Plymouth Rocks I have crosses of all these chickens that are...

I was wondering if chicks that are born with orange legs and feet will stay that color when they mature? Some of my Black Australorp x Black Jersey Giant cross chicks were born with the expected black legs and feet, and some of the others were born with orange legs and feet. I also have two...

Okay, so here's what's going on. I got my incubator set up and put the eggs in on the 23rd. However! I was messing around with the temperature quite a bit until the 25th. I know the last three days you aren't suppose to turn them so I'm not sure which date to go by. Do you think the eggs already...

I went to candle a few of my eggs and I don't see any veins yet. They have been incubated for a day and a half. Temp is 100, everything is fine. Am I just rushing this and it's too early to tell anything yet?

I noticed when the temperature drops in my room, so does the incubating temperature. I have a heater that goes off once you get it to a certain degree so I was wondering if I should leave my heater on in my room at 60 or something just to make sure the incubating heat stays on track? Or do I...

I have a still air Hova-Bator incubator. I was planning on sticking some eggs in it in ten minutes, but I noticed the temperature in it dropped! I turned it on 12 hours ago last night and got the temperature to 100. This morning I woke up and the temperature is 98. Do you think the temperature...

I know there are ways such as looking at their vents, feathers, or heads. I think it's females have more oval heads, and males more round. Anyways, I need to learn how to sex chicks. Any way/method will be helpful. I tried vent sexing one time and I felt bad because I squeezed the chick, lol...

This is going to be my first time using an incubator. I don't have an automatic egg turner either. 1) So I was wondering how often I have to turn the eggs? I've heard people tell me twice a day, but I would also like a time...like would 9am and then again at 9pm be okay? Something along those...

I'm crossing my Australorp cockerel with 3 of my Jersey Giant hens an am going to hatch chicks. I was wondering if the chicks would be 50/50? If not, is it possible for them to come out with opposite leg colors? Like Jersey Giants with pink/white feet instead of yellow, and Australorps with...

I ordered an incubator from MyPetChicken that is suppose to arrive tomorrow. The incubator is a Hova-BatorThermal Air Flow. It doesn't have an automatic turner, so I'm going to have to turn the eggs by hand every day. Here is a picture of the incubator...

I was wondering how long you think it might take my cockerel to cover 15 hens? I've had him for about two weeks already. I'm askign because I'm going to be getting an incubator soon so I can hatch chicks. I noticed he likes breeding the same hens instead of mounting all of them. Should I...

I was wondering how long eggs can be left out before put in the incubator and still be fertile? I obviously won't be refridgerating them, but just leaving them out until I get more.

I'm trying to help my cousin figure out what gender this Cochin is. It's 6 month old. I think it's a male, but I'm not sure. Another pic coming soon! (lol, that reminds me of a movie...)

Yeah, I know. Something you're like...'what?!' about. Here's what happened. I was bad, and didn't label my spray bottles. My dad has one he puts pure alcohol in (not the rubbing kind), and I have one that I mix Permectrin II in for mites. The cockerel I recently got had a little bit of mites so...

Hello, I have a 9 month old Sebright x D'Uccle (I think) cross bantam cockerel for sale for $10. He's mature, already crowing, and also trying to breed. He's gentle, and likes to follow me around. Unfortunately I don't have room for him, and am looking for a nice place to re-home him. He's...

I got a 8-month-old Australorp cockerel from someone about half a month ago. His old owner raised him since he was a chick, and he was always held a lot and spoiled. I've never heard a crow from him, and he hasn't attempted to mount any of my females yet. His previous owner told me she never saw...

I was looking at a 3 month old pullet I recently bought from someone and I saw a little white bug on her. It was teeny! It was moving around the back of her head. I know it wasn't a mite because I checked her for mites, and it's rare for chickens to get them under a year old anyways. I only saw...
