    My new chicken barn in the making

    I figured I would post updates as the build continues. My husband is building it for me. It is 20x20 on the inside with 6 individual runs and then each outside run. The large area in the middle is for me. I like to have chairs and a radio. The second floor is a loft and off the back is a giant...

    18 hour power outage with LO in incubator

    OK, so we had a nasty storm that knocked out our electricity for 18 hours. I have 6 lavender Orpington eggs in my bator on day 6. I covered the bator with a heavy sweatshirt and figured all was lost. It is 2 days later and I candled tonight. All 6 are swimming around and show great veining! Is...

She is a tiny banty and had built this deep nest so they all fit under her. I moved her into my brooding pen in the barn and put the eggs in a nest...

    infertile eggs???

    I bought 24 hatching eggs from a local breeder and I am at day 10. I just candled, and 9 of the 24 were infertile. They looked like I just cracked them open to cook them. No difference. Is this an acceptable ratio? It seems awful high to me. Should I buy eggs from this breeder again? It wasn't...

    American Onagadori crossed with EE hen

    I have 5 cockerels that are 5 1/2 months old. The dad is an American Onagadori from a breeder in Cali. The mom is an EE. They have more of the AO traits. Their tails and saddle are already magnificent. I think I need to thin out a bit since I got one hen with this group. What would you suggest I...

    who would like to take a guess at what type of birds these are?

    I know what they are. I know how old they are. I want to how many people can figure it out, both the breeds,(they are a cross of 2 breeds) and their approximate age. Just for fun!
