    Help with Slow Crop / Sour Crop Issue combined with Broken Soft-Shelled Egg

    My 3 yo bantam cochin hasn't been feeling well for a few days. I found her just sitting in the yard, keeping to herself. When I picked her up, I inspected her vent and found broken egg membranes hanging out. I tried to get it all out but couldn't. I've been watching her ever since and...

    5 month (or so) Jersey Giant / Leghorn Cross Pullet For Sale

    I need to sell this pullet... We have too many chickens. She recently started laying and gives us about 5 eggs per week so far and should become a very prolific layer of large off-white eggs.

    Question about egg production in Jersey Giant/Leghorn X's

    I have a few chicks from a Jersey Giant Roo over hens hatched from store-bought fertile eggs (leghorn crosses probably). What kind of egg production do you think I will get from these chicks? Will they be as reliable as the leghorns? I am thinking the eggs will be a very light brown... Any...

    Blue-Laced Red Wyandotte Cockerels

    I have two gorgeous BLRW cockerels that I hatched out on March 10. The eggs came from a breeder in Little Rock, CA. They are absolutely gorgeous little boys. I simply adore them. They come running to me when they see me or hear my voice. And I am looking for a good home to send them to. I cannot...

    Mille Fleur Project Bantam Cochin Cockerels

    Hi everyone, I hatched out 4 (probably 5) roos from eggs I bought from Lynne... Every single baby was a boy! I am hoping one is a pullet but I am not holding my breath. These guys are so tame, so loving, so wonderful BUT I CAN'T keep roosters where I live. Otherwise I would keep every single...

    Hatching in automatic turner tray instead of an egg carton

    I just now took out two of the trays from my automatic egg turner and set the eggs in them instead of using an egg carton for lockdown... Is this a bad idea? I have never hatched this way before. I have always just laid the eggs on their sides in the bator at lockdown. Any advice on either...

    When is day 18 and day 21?

    I have hatched three batches of eggs and I have set them all around 7pm or so. For my new batch, I did it differently and set them at 8am Saturday the 10th... I can't decide when exactly day 18 is and when day 21 is... When should I expect them to start hatching? HELP!

    2 Black Jersey Giant Cockerels 12 weeks old (Ventura County)

    I need to find a home for my handsome boys. They are from Maria Hall's stock and were hatched on New Year's Day. I would absolutely love to keep them but I am not supposed to have roosters where I live. They free range all day and I just want to find them a good home where they will be...

    My pullet needs glasses or something!!!

    I bought mealworms to feed my girls and i when I was feeding the pullets I hatched from Trader Joe's eggs, I noticed one of them can't seem to see properly. I put a mealworm on the ground for her to get and she kept pecking the ground about 2 inches in front of the worm. Several times she did...

    I have 5 JG babies... I made nest boxes the other day and the hens love them... started laying in them today but the JG went in there and attacked the egg. I do have decoy eggs in there too but they went for the real egg I didn't even know was in there. What do I do to stop this? They free...

    Pair of Brown Red Modern Game Bantams

    I love these two but the rooster's crowing is getting out of hand since I live in an area where roosters are not allowed. I would keep the hen but they are completely inseparable. One cries terribly if their partner is taken away so I think it is mean to separate them. They free range in our...
