    Hatching questions

    I have a hen that went broody. I had left her eggs for her starting around March 15th. When I noticed her not leaving the box, she had 11 eggs and it was March 23rd. She would get off them to eat, poop and run back to the box (max time away about 5 minutes). We went out of town March 25th-27th...

    Wondering about breed

    I bought my first chicks at a local farm supply store. They were labeled "straight run chicks" (nothing else) at that time I didn't have a clue what that meant. We got 6 of them, lost 3 (1 to a cat, 1 to the duck pool, and 1 to unknown causes before it was a week old) They are now 16 wks old. 2...

    Hi!

    Ive been stalking your forum for a few months, getting ideas and watching the first egg thread:D. This is my second attempt at raising chickens. I gave it a go in 2007 and lost all my chicks (and ducks) to coons. This year I have a new chicken coop. I found a link on here to ideal poultry and...
