    Are you a breeder or trader?????

    I'm just wondering what your opinion is between a chicken trader and a real breeder? I've met a few people that just buy every chicken they can from CL and sell them to make a buck or two per chick/chicken and they consider themselves a breeder because they do have some stock that they breed to...

    Colored Easter Chicks

    I was wondering if anyone hatches chicks to color them for Easter and how do you get them colored without getting it in their eyes/feet/beak? I see them every year so where do they come from?

    Just hatched chicks eating the eggshells????

    Is this safe or should I pull them out, I'm waiting on 1 other egg to hatch and it pipped this morning? Also, how long should I leave the chicks in the bator after they hatch?? Edit: One more question, my last egg pipped on the bottom side of the egg around the 5:00 position, should I roll it...

    What's up with this egg?

    I have a Barred Rock laying eggs and and today she laid this big egg, she has been running loose in the yard with a Golden Seasbright banty and 2 days ago one of my Delawares mated with her. Is this because of the size of the chicken or just nature?

This is the sales pitch: Radiant heat tube gently warms inside of the incubator, air and eggs. Thermal action of heated air flowing out of...
