I have 4 females(2 Runners, 2 Pekins) and 1 male(Ancona) and my ducks have not layed any eggs for the last two months. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this to happen before?

Here are some pics of my quail that hatched this week

I have two Pekins an Khaki Campbell and one that is darker with a white ring 3/4 of the way around it's neck. I will be getting pictures this afternoon to post. Anyone have any Ideas. They were bought at TSC....

This is the first time any of my hens have gone broody. She is a Buff Orpington. My trouble is that I separated the rooster from the rest of the flock a couple of weeks before. I worry about the fertility of these eggs. She seems insistent on staying put. Who am I to argue eh? I guess in the end...

I have had my incubators in my building since January, last week it got to over 100 degrees in there. My still air incubator registered over 105 degrees. I was worried to death that they might not hatch. I quickly moved it into the house where it is thankfully a lot cooler. My wife just called...

A few pics of some bantam Phoenix eggs I got from my BIL...

Our local power company had some issues at the substation Saturday which resulted in the power being off in the house for about 4 hours. I had two different incubators running and I am worried to death that they may not hatch. My wife says I should leave them in there and see what happens, But I...

I am trying to decide on what this lightest egg is going to be, the one in the middle on the left. It is either an easter egger or a silverruds blue(Swedish Isbar). I may have to wait 21 days to find out. I got it in a barnyard mix. He did not say what breeds he had so I guess I will just be...

I am looking for some white polish hatching eggs in eastern North Carolina, if anybody has some, let me know. Thanks in advance...

Put 6 out of the 8 eggs I obtained in the trusty NurtureRight360 and the other two in the (as of yet unproven) other incubator. Got my fingers crossed. Glad to be back hatching again....:ya

I am almost positive that at least one of the six SFH that I hatched is a roo! He is much larger than the rest and cranes his neck a lot when he looks up at me. I will try to get some pics when I get home today...

I moved the Swedish Flower Hen babies outside finally and they do well during the day. When I leave for work in the morning they normally sit huddle together for warmth. So far one has learned to get up on the roost bar out in the run. Maybe they will figure out it is warmer in the top part of...

My 8 Swedish Flower Hens went into lockdown last night in the incubator, got my fingers crossed (which makes this really hard to type) for a good hatch....:pop

I have a neighbor who has three dogs. I grew up liking dogs until I got chickens. I have one dog that belongs to my baby girl that stays in my yard and she is well behaved in a contained area. The neighbors dogs however are allowed to roam at will and impregnate whoever they see fit. This past...

One of my ideals 236s(White Leghorn Hybrid) finally layed an egg. I was beginning to wonder if either one of them would ever lay an egg, but she blessed me with a perfectly shaped, albeit small, white egg. I gave her extra time out of the coop to forage when I arrived home after seeing her...

I ordered 6 hatching eggs from Stoney Rock Farm in Hillsborough NC, and 8 arrived, well packaged and clean. Hopefully in 21 days I will see the fruits of their labor emerge from the incubator. If all goes well I will be ordering from them again. Thanks Stoney Rock Farm!:frow

I have two Austalorps and one has been laying for about two weeks already. The other has not and looks physically larger in the back half of her body. Is it possible she is egg bound or has some ailment that will prevent her from laying. I guess I am just being a nervous nelly. She seems...

I have two Ideal 236 hybrids that I bout from a local feed store (southern states I think it was) and was wondering if anyone has any experience with these. I wanted to know about when they should start laying. They are about the same physical size as my Australorps and were purchased in late...

One of my Australorps finally laid an egg. I was beginning to think I had two mute roosters:lau

I recently hatched 5 Dominique chicks, and 3 have white spots on their head and two do not. The two that do not also have darker coloring on their legs. Hopefully this means that I have 2 baby girls?
