    My hen is brooding ghost eggs....I think! New Pics!

    I have a 9 month old 'frazzle' who is currently a house chicken after sustaining some injuries from a friend's flock. After rescuing her and bringing her in the house, (she had almost no feathers due to being a frazzle and was a target for my hens; not to mention it was -20 degrees outside) she...

    VERY CUTE Roo??? He's a lonely guy (or girl?)

    Hi Everyone- Well, this is my Barred Rock. Is it a roo? If so, how are you telling what he is? If not, what makes you think he's a hen? He's the only survivor out of a bad hatch due to loss of power. I have a batch of eggs ready to hatch next Thursday, but he's still very lonely. He/She is...

    This is my first 'Spring' with chickens....need advice

    So, I was walking out to the coop the other day and saw coon prints all around in the snow. That got me thinking....should I hold off free-ranging my girls until summer to give the predators time to feed on other wild animals and not be so excited to go after my girls. The girls started...

    Just hatched my first egg...help! More Pictures posted!

    My first chick just hatched....he keeps rolling over on his back and doesn't seem to be able to stand. He's on a foam surface that came with my Brinsea incubator. He's also got a red bulge on his butt. How long before he should be walking normally??? I will try to post pics in a minute.

    The night between day 18 and 19 and the power went out

    Well, my friend woke me up at 2:30 this morning to tell me the power went out. I rushed to the incubator to find the temp at 77 degrees....I immediately took the eggs and 'incubated' them under my armpits in bed. It's the only thing I could think of doing. Once the power went back on hours...

    Hi Everyone- I was so excited to receive my new Brinsea Octagon 20EX today only to open it up and realize that they didn't pack the rocker base bars and that the top of the incubator had a broken 'v' piece where the plastic tubing inserts into the incubator. Anybody ever deal with Brinsea and...

    Hi Everyone, I am trying to find out what the differences are between the R-com 20 and R-com 20 Pro? Do they both have auto humidity and temp settings. I work full time and this is very important. All advice is appreciated as I have 15 rare eggs coming in March. Thanks!

    I had 17 hens, they are 7 months old. Tuesday night everyone of them looked fine, eating and drinking fine. Wednesday morning I found one hen fluffed up and gasping for air. I picked her up to take her in the house and she died by the time we reached the door. I could see thick clear mucous...
