    Help!

    Last night I was doing the second check to see if my eggs were fertile. As I held up and egg to the light, I accidently dropped it into my light box. (a shoe box taped to a lamp) The egg dropped only a couple inches and the baby is due in less than a week. The shell cracked and there was some...

    Dirty Butt Question

    One of my hens always has a dirty bottom. I have washed it several times and it still looks dirty-ish. I did notice her poop is solid, but has some clear water. The feathers on her belly, closer to her bottom, seem to be broken off too. She eats very well, drinks well and doesn't act sick. No...

    2 ROOS in the same pen

    This is the strangest thing ever, at least to me. I have my first roo, (named Rooster) who has been with us for over a year and a half. He has done an excellent job of taking care of his ladies and doing what roo's do. About 6 months ago I bought 5 more hens. One of them turned out to be a BR...

    What gender is my new baby???

    Hi everyone! On the 21st my hen, Bonnie, hatched my very first baby. I wasn't going to hatch any more because the first time I attempted turned out to be a disaster. But this time, I decided to just leave everything alone and let nature do her thing. I had 2 eggs, laid on different dates...
