Hey guys, I bought a dozen BCM chicks back in July. I have finally decided that I don't have enough room for the 5 roosters the dozen produced. I am looking to sell 3 BCM roosters. They have not been tested (for what its worth). They are from the Wade Jeane line...
Hey guys, just got my 1st broody of the year !!! I think she has 3-4 under her, and I just put another 3 under her a few minutes ago. I was going to put them all into the incubator, but figure momma knows best. I have another dozen on the ounter going into the bator tomorro afternoon, after the...
So I had 1 pip last night, and 2 more when I woke up this morning, I now have 3 chicks mostly out of the shell. If they get out, and dry off, and no other eggs have piped, can I move them to the brooder, or should I just wiat until I am sure all others are/are not going to hatch?
Also, looks...
I saw some medicated feed at TSC yesterday, and it was a pretty small bag, for $2 more than the large bag of starter. I think it was to vaccinate against Omphalitis. The bag said to feed it for 6-8 weeks... That seems like a lot of $$$ for feed, how long should 1 feed this to his chicks? I was...

I have got a buddy looking for some local Silver Laced Wyandotte hatching eggs. His entire flock got wiped out by critters this winter, and wants to get some more without going thru a distributor.
Anybody willing to selling some in the Central AR area?
I did yesterday, and decided to gather eggs, put them in my coat pocket. Not a bad idea since I had 4 eggs, and it was cold, and I needed to get the ice out of the water bowls for the chickens and the dog. I reached down to remove the ice from the dog's, and heard something... Sounded like a...
I have 6 mutt eggs on the counter right now waiting for the rest of a dozen to show up (probably Sunday afternoon), what I am wondering is do I need to turn the eggs on the counter-top 2-3 times per day? I am leaving town, and will likely just get hte eggs from the coop on Sunday and then fire...
OK, I am thinking of trying my hand at hatching out some eggs since I am about to double the size of my chicken pen. I am borrowing a buddies incubator, but it is not an auto turner.
What will happen if I do not turn the eggs 3 times a day? i.e. go away for the weekend
What if I only turn them...
