I put them in the incubator and one hatched during the night. I’d like to try to put it with the hen mother, but do I...

    Is there a dual purpose chicken that lays blue eggs? New to chickens and deciding how to build flock.

    Day 22. This is the 12th egg of a 13 bantam egg incubation. One quit very early. The other 11 are happy, fluffy and in the brooder, born Saturday and yesterday. This one was quiet when I tried the tapping thing. There’s no movement when candled. So I did the float test as a last test. I think...

    New to deep litter and ammonia smell - start over or just add more pine shavings?

    I have about 60 6-week old chickens. This is my first time having chickens. They moved to our coop when they were about 3 weeks old. They stayed in the coop for about 2 weeks while we finished their run (so all their poop was inside during that time). They have had access to the run for about a...
