when I used to buy eggs from the store.. I would add salt to the water to help make the boiled eggs easier to peel.. is there a trick to "farm fresh" eggs to make them easier.. they sure taste good but as so hard for me to peel.

It was in February last year and just wondered if anyone had any information about another in 2012? I was sick so didn't get to enjoy it like I had intended..

I have ten nice healthy Rhode Island Red chicks that have feathered out nicely. They are about 6 weeks old and ready to move outside - although heat lamp will still be required. Straight Run
No shipping - Local pick-up only and can possibly meet half-way.
I need a Columbian Wyndotte Rooster for my three lonely hens.. they are in the main mixed flock at the moment.. but I know they would love to have a husband of their own kind to call their main squeeze. I could go with a young roo that could be shipped.. but prefer grown southern gentleman...
I know there are several BYC members close to me (Georgia) that raise Silver Laced Wyndottes (LF). I am looking for a younger rooster.. not too young, but not old enough to compete with my alpha roos.. to match up with my three pullets. They will be caged together in the spring. I know there...
Up for consideration are 9 Cuckoo Maran eggs and as a bonus - I will be including up to 6 BCM eggs. All of my incubators are filled and so is the refrigerator. I don't want to cook these for the chickens!
I would like to ship these out on Wednesday morning to the winning bidder.. please send...
I am about to worm my flock of layers for the first time.. I bought Wizene (not sure that is how it is spelled)- the only wormer my TSC had and it was on my list from notes on BYC
It says to not use the eggs for human consumption but not a time period.. for other animals it states 14 days...
I have three tiny bob white quail from some shipped eggs.. will they be okay with just the three?
They are staying warm enough/eating and drinking fine.. just worry about loneliness

First time duck owner since I bought some through the mail when I was 13 (a FEW years ago)
I brought home a pair (well two - not sure male/female) of Magpie ducklings that are now 4 weeks old. They have been co-existing with the chickens for this first week. They have a nice little pool to...
First let me say that Chicken Math has exploded in my yard.. especially since I am addicted to hatching eggs!!!
In moving some to the outside brooder.. I looked around and said.. hummm I have ALOT of chicks! Since I had 20 RIR chicks that are 3 weeks old - I told hubby that I would put an ad...
I bought a pair of birds yesterday that were labeled as such...I admit.. I bought them because they were "pretty".. tried to find some pictures on the internet to compare.. but no luck. Does anyone have this breed.. know of it.. or can post pictures so I can compare.. I will get pictures of my...
First let me say that my flock free-ranges in my 1 acre fenced front yard during the day and cooped at night... and that after a hawk attack back in Feburary, I decided to keep a second roo that was almost mature.. and have several other juvenile roos in the flock based on advice from fellow...
I just got 2 pullets and a young roo.. red sussex.. the coloring isn't perfect--but they do have the white legs.. I wondered if anyone else raises them.. I would like to see about getting some more eggs to hatch.

I am looking to buy 2 dozen Buff Brahma hatching eggs.. would prefer chicks if I could find someone within a couple of hours of my GA home. I have sent a few messages out to people I have seen on the Brahma board..but no responses. Would like to "make a deal" so eggs could be shipped within 2...
I am a self-declared hatchaholic so usually have chicks within two weeks or so of each other. About a month ago..DH and I tried putting one smaller (but older) chick in the separate brooder box with the newly hatched as a "trainer" of sorts. We still dip the beaks in the water and have the...
Here is a couple of pictures.. I had been thinking pullet since "she" is about 20 weeks old.. then I saw the curl in the tail feather. am I right.. is it a pullet??

forgetting the idea that the only good snake is a dead snake.. We discovered one close to the coop yesterday. My neighbor says that it is after the mice that are eating the chicken food.. is that all it might be after?? How about my eggs and chicks.
thoughts?

I had a chick hatch with a large amount of unabsorbed yoke..I was headed to work so decided to leave well enough alone until I got home... some 10 hours later.. well there was .. ick.. all over the chicks that hatched.. eggs still in the bator.. and the "culprit" was running around like nothing...
