I've been reading a lot of the old threads and such here, but thought I'd post since I'm including photos.
The short of it is that she was somewhat alert a few days ago but was sitting in the hay of the goat house by herself for two days in a row (not on brooding). After I kept see her...

Well, I made the decision to give incubating and hatching a try for the first time, so thought I'd document some of the stuff here.
I picked up a Little Giant 9200 + auto egg turner this weekend. I've got it setup in an extra room that I can close off and leave pretty secluded.
Now I've read a...
If you intend to *possibly* have a little side pet project in letting certain chickens breed, are you doing yourself more of a disservice in letting mixed colors of the same breed mate?
I have three groups I have considered this with:
1) Cochins - two black hens, one silver pencilled hen, and...
What does BYC think?
I guessed an OE of some kind, as I am told it is a bantam, but other than that I can't say I've figured it out.

Here are a few pics of our chicks, somewhere in the 4 week old range right now. We have speculations as to what gender they are, but thought I would get feedback from everyone on here!
RIR & EE got bigger a lot faster than the rest, so we thought they were roosters, but now are showing...
We just planted our garden (at our new house) about a month ago and it actually looks really good so far!! I was a little worried since this was the first time making a garden spot at this house, how the soil would turn out, etc. but I think it is going to make it! So anyways, Jared bought...
So we are new to the chicken business and have a small interest in turkeys as well. Right now, we have 12 baby chicks apprx 3-4weeks old. We are interested in turkeys and had heard that you could put a turkey in with chickens. Is this true? If so, would it matter if it were male/female? At what...
The chickens are about 3-4 weeks old or so I'd say.
They are getting quite a decent number of feathers now (see: my Pictures thread, although those pictures are a week and a half or two ago).
Here is an example of the weather in my area:

I posted these pictures in my chicken thread, but I figured this was more appropriate for a coop specific location.
I have been at it now with the help of Julie (of course ), and her grandfather on Saturdays, for about 3 weeks now. I'd say it is coming along pretty good. I hope to have it done...
Well, living in rural NC I figured it was about time...
Since I have yet to load the pictures of the current status of the house & pen, I'll ease into this one with some pictures of the chickens that are currently awaiting their new home:
