    Triangle coop/tractor for broody hen

    Here is a quick coop/tractor that I built for a broody hen and her chicks during my summer vacation. It is light and easy to move on the large casters: When the casters are flipped down under the front it can be moved, and when flipped up the pen is flat to the ground: It isn't...

    Hatched Chicks are moving Unhatched Eggs - is there a better way?

    Hi all I am wondering if anyone has a solution to this same issue. 10 eggs were placed in incubator. 5 hatched yesterday and the chicks are moving the unhatched eggs inside the incubator (vigorously moved - they are now rolled to the side of the incubator). I think the issue is -- if the eggs...

    Processed 3 SPPR roos

    Hi all Dressed the remaining 3 silver pencilled plymouth rock roosters a couple of days ago. Finally got this done over my Christmas vacation and between snow storms.

    Silver Penciled Rocks, Aug 11, 2012

    Here is my first try at videoing my chickens. My apologies for the video quality! The video is featuring my silver penciled plymouth rocks. Most of the birds are too young yet to show the proper "pencilling", but soon they will be just as pretty as their big momma, Bertha. Big Bertha...

    Anyone build whirigigs or weather vanes?

    Hi, I am looking for a rooster pattern to make a weather vane, or a whirligig that will eventually be placed on top of my wood shed on a small cupola. Something that I could cut out of plywood. If anyone has such a plan, please I'd like to see it. Thank you.

    It is now February, -10 Celcius on PEI, Canada. So far, so good. By the end of April, there should be no more snow. This is where my chickens live during the winter. During the daylight hours they stay under the coop in the pen which is enclosed with almost clear tarp to keep out the snow...

    Broody Hen in Winter - Should I let her sit on eggs?

    I have a young hen -- she just started laying eggs in November -- that wants to sit on eggs, on the only nest in the coop shared with 4 other hens. This just started in the last week, but when I removed 4 eggs from under her this morning she pecked me very hard! I added a rooster to the pen...

    New to incubating eggs

    Hi I am going to set some eggs in an old round styrofoam incubator that was last used in the 1980s. It is a still air incubator and I have plugged it in and it is keeping a steady temperature of 103 degrees (thermometer is on a raised base). Is this too hot? I could lower the temperature...

    Hello from Prince Edward Island, Canada!

    Hi all I've been looking through BYC forum pages and couldn't resist logging in to let you know how interesting it is! I have recently acquired 3 Silver-pencilled Plymouth Rock hens and a rooster. The hens aren't laying yet, but this could happen any day now. They are about 4 months old. I...
