    Spent hens

    Hello! I bought a lot of new pullets last year and this year. Last year despite having around 35 hens at any given time, I was only getting 4 to 14 eggs per day. I realized that a lot of my hens are pretty old. So I decided to try to figure out which ones are spent. It's been my experience that...

    What breed?

    These pics show golden sex links with a red x on them hanging out with what are supposed to be Ameraucaunas. Including the pic with the one up on the roost (same age just looks bigger from camera angle.) These don't look like other Ameraucaunas I have bought in the past. Their cheeks aren't...

This one pipped yesterday but didn't get through...

    Position of 21 day eggs

    Hello! I went ahead and brought in about nine eggs that my Broody hen has been sitting on, because she gave up on them this morning now that she has eight chicks up and running around. I've got them in a warm box on a non-slippery surface with a heat lamp and a hot room. I don't have any way to...

    Temperature in brooder

    Hi! I posted about my chicks from Ideal Poultry laying down and dying, no other symptoms. I called their number and they have an option to press to get poultry info.
