    Survey for DS's school project? CLOSED thanks SO much!!

    Hi everyone, My ds Connor (12) is involved in a school project/sports survey in which he needs to get one hundred responses. He doesn't exactly know 100 people and being a shy kid, he didn't really want to solicit strangers. So, I'm hoping I can use my 'chicken conections' to help him out a...

    How often do you kick your chickens?

    Every day I go out the back door and have to RACE the chickens to the coop. If I'm not careful and walk too slowly at least one or two gets in front of me and under my feet. If I can't beat them there I have to walk in s l o w M o t i o n and watch so carefully where my feet are going. I have...

    Pale legs- Welsummer Roo

    I have a gorgeous young Wellie cockeral that I'd like to use for breeding. He came from MotherGoose's eggs. I'm worried about his legs though, they're quite pale compared to the other Welsummer roo I have. Almost white. Anyone know if that's no big deal that pops up every once in a while, or...

    8 week Silkie PULLETS!

    I realize its a little early, but I'd like some feedback about my silkie GIRLS. I'm choosing to think positive about these two because I so badly want to keep them. I'm feeling a little nervous though, because of how wide thier combs seem to be. Ignore the dirty faces. The sillies have been...

    Do hens EVER have saddle feathers?

    I have a big blue orp that I thought was a hen. I just noticed what appear to be saddle feathers. I know that sometimes a roo can be hen feathered, but is the opposite true? he/she has huge stompy legs, but the comb/wattles are small and pink. No tail at all. I'm not positive about age...

    Gorgeous 16 wk EE Roo OREGON

    My 16 wk EE rooster needs a new home. He's a healthy guy, with no problems. Not at all aggressive. But he's just learned how to crow, we're in town and.... you all know the drill. He's been free range since around 4 weeks, and fed organic chick starter exclusively. Treats have been some...

    NEEDED: A chick in OREGON

    Sadly, only one of my welsummer chicks hatched. She is doing ok, in spite of a rough beginning and some crooked toes. I need a companion for her. The mirror and stuffed animals are just not doing the job and she is just peeps and peeps constantly. Anyone in oregon with newly hatched chicks...

    Could my EE have turned in to a boy?

    Seriously, all of a sudden I turned around and DeeDee looks like a roo! I have never had any question about her sex until yesterday when it seems like her comb doubled in size and its just soo............ RED! She/he is 9 weeks old. Lots of my other 9 week old pullets are starting to get...

    Chicks in new coop. How long to keep them in the run?

    My 8 wk old chicks spent their first night in the real coop. They've been free ranging in the backyard for a few weeks now, putting themselves to bed in their brooder every evening. The brooder has been inside my sunroom, and the chicks have been able to come and go as they like. I'm wondering...

    Humidity and duck eggs

    I'm incubating Silver Appleyards (today is 27!) I learned recently that my humidity has probably been low the entire time. Probably as much as 10-15%. I started with 21 eggs, from two different sellers. 7 from one seller seemed to be fertile, but none made it more than 10 days. Of the other 14 I...

    How long does it take for a fresh egg to start stinkin up the joint?

    I got a dozen eggs from someone on ebay. Within 2 or 3 days, my incubator started smelling kind of foul, so I did the sniff test and found a stinky egg weeping. I removed it, and when I candled on day 7 another two eggs were stinky. There are two more that I can't really tell for sure. They kind...

    I'm starting to stress!! -update- Sad day, none of them made it.

    I have duck eggs just about ready to get the humidity bumped up, and the incubator that was supposed to be here Monday still hasn't arrived. The duck eggs (silver appleyard) are in with 26 welsummer, marans and barnevelder on day 7 and 8. The second bator should show up today, but I feel so...

    Dark eggs?

    Hello all, I'm looking for some nice dark egg layers. Don't much care too much about the breed, although welsummers and barnevelders are my favorites for 'looks'. I can only have 6 more chickens where I live (which is fudging juuust a little) but would be happy to have lots of eggs to incubate...

    Can't figure out duck eggs...

    Hello all you hatchers! I'm still only an incubatorer. That's a new word I just made up. Like it? I've got 21 Silver Appleyard eggs in my homemade 'bator. I'm on day 6 and have already candled twice. <sigh> I know, I know. 9 eggs have beautiful vein development and embryos I can see, right up...
