    Totally lost as to what breed this cockerel is!

    I posted here several months ago asking for breed help when this guy (pretty sure he's a roo, now, anyway!) was a little chick. I try to post a link to that thread below if I can find it. Anyway, I got a lot of suggestions, and felt fairly confident he was a barnevelder. That's what he looked...

    Any guess on the color egg this chick will lay?

    Welsummers & Speckled Sussex Chicks Getting Pecked

    Some back story- I had 29 2 week old chicks all together, and a few nights ago decided to separate them by putting 20 in a larger enclosure. The bigger space seemed to set something off in them- they started chest bumping and flying around. They did finally settle down though and go to sleep...

    Nurture Right 360 Newbie Questions

    I just got it in the mail today, and set it up to test. Planning to incubate next weekend. It been running about 7 hours, and so far temp and humidity levels have been good. It didn't take long to reach 99.5 (less than 30 min), and once I figured out how much water to add, the humidity was...
