    Blue Genetics

    I used the chicken color calculator and just wanted to confirm with the Backyard Chicken experts that I did this right. According to the calculator, if I cross my Blue Wyandotte rooster with my Blue Laced Red Wyandotte hens, I will end up with Blue/Black/Splash chicks. Does that sound right...

    Antique Incubator

    Do you think this incubator could be rewired and used successfully? Is that an egg turner rig I see up at the top?? I think it's beautiful and would love to have it as my functioning incubator. Anybody ever heard of one of these? http://maine.craigslist.org/atq/2251052164.html

    Big mistake... missing chicks

    Yesterday we starting working on a run for our chicks who have been living in their run-less coop for the past few weeks. We cut out a pop door and covered it with a board from the inside since we're doing construction with the chicks living in the building and didn't want them to get out. We...

    Too many chicks... how do I choose?!?

    So my DH and I decided we wanted to get a small flock of Wyandotte laying hens... 6 hens, no roos. Somehow (I can't fathom how it happened we've ended up with this: I can tell you a little bit about the circumstances. We decided that we didn't want to buy from a big hatchery, so instead...
