    Need help from a Rhode Island Red expert.

    I just completed a hatch of 6 RIR's, very outgoing little peeps compared to my last batch of barnyard mixed. My question is this, I have 2 that have 3 dark brown racing stripes down their backs, the other 4 are lighter and have plain backs. Is this difference in any way related to the sex of the...

    Need some help, other forum directed me here.

    I have decided to grow some chickens to eat, I have a small incubator that holds 7 eggs so I will have no more than 7 chickens together at one time. I am going to build a temporary coop and run for them outside to house until they get to about 12 weeks (they will go out at about 4-5 weeks of...

    Getting my Ovascope for candling today, any tidbits for use?

    On my 2nd set of eggs for hatching, my first batch I tried candling with DIY candling aids, I would have told you based on candling pictures I looked at that I only had 2 eggs out of 7 that progressed. Wouldn't you know it, all 7 hatched as healthy as can be. Hence I said so much for my...

    Just finished setting 7 RIR eggs in my Brinsea Mini. Question inside.

    I had to buy a dozen RIR eggs this morning, not a big deal they were $2.00 for the dozen. I put 7 in my incubator (that is all this type holds) based on nothing else but trying to choose the lighter colored eggs to help with candling. I have left the other 5 in the carton in a closet and they...

    Hatching question

    I am feeling good so far, 3 of my 7 have hatched, and the other 4 have Pipped. My question now is how long can it take for the last 4 to emerge? They have all Pipped since midnight last night and the 3 that have hatched came pretty quickly. These last 4 have showed no progress at all since...

    Help.. One of my hens layed a soft shelled egg, what's up?

    I got an egg this morning that feels like a little water balloon? It actually is a jumbo size egg, but it has a soft covering. I have 5 hens, they started laying back in October of 2010, so they are still young. Anybody out there that knows why this type of egg can be laid and how to remedy the...

    2 part question regarding egg laying and eating the hens.

    I am in my first rodeo with my hens, I currently have 5 dual purpose (eating and egg laying) hens that just started laying this past October/November of 2010. Right now they are egg laying fools, but there will come a time when their egg laying will diminish to a point where they need to be...
