    "The temperature inside a winterfresh mouth"....

    Remember that commercial? Actually, the temperature under my broody.... Assuming she didn't sneak any breaks (I tried to check after her breaks, but gave her time to regulate the temp under her), the temp ranged from 89.2 - 101.7 degrees; 37-60% humidity. Just thought I'd share!

    Watery eggs...currently alive....but will they hatch?

    This is my second time dealing with shipped eggs and I also had some watery eggs the first time too. (When I say watery, I mean that when I candle the egg, the air cell is intact, albeit misshaped sometimes, but there is extra fluid inside. You can clearly see that when you GENTLY move/vibrate...

    Has anyone done this, and how did it all play out? I have 6 chickens (1 pullet...and the other 5 are all broody right now). I will be giving ALL of them eggs at the same time once they arrive. I hadn't planned on separating them. I've used one of the broodies in the past and didn't separate...

    Mating question

    Ok, breeders...I have a question for you about mating. Are chickens at all like dogs, where you can look for a the sire to breed your female to? I know how hens are if you introduce them to a new member, but I'm not sure how that goes with roosters. Do they want to mate with any hen that comes...

    Cochin breeding question (Black with Mille fleur & Blue parents)

    I have 2 black cochins (one cockeral, one pullet). They both came from the same father (a mille fleur cochin) and mother (blue cochin). First of all, because they are brother and sister is it okay for them to mate (obviously I don't know anything about breeding... but I thought "inbreeding"...

    True Ameracauna? Also, boy or girl?

    This baby is 4 weeks old. It is supposed to be a Lavendar Ameracauna. I'm hoping it's a girl...I notice this chick doesn't have much for a tail, but not sure what that means for Ameracaunas. This is the only Ameracauna out of the bunch of chicks I have, so I can't really compare apples to...

    WANTED!! Central NY chicks (BCM, Speckled Sussex, Lav Ameracauna)

    I had a bad hatch and now I'm looking for chicks to replace the eggs that would've hatched. The ones that did hatch are now 5 days old, so I'd like to get chicks of the same age to blend in with them (and the silkie that is mothering them.) I'm hoping to find someone local so I can pick them...
