    Two Lavender Orpington Project Chicks

    They are both 4 weeks old, one is darker than the other. The dark one is also larger than the other. Any guesses on the sex?

    Blue Chick from Splash Parents

    Yesterday I hatched 4 chicks from my Splash Ameraucanas. In the past all the chicks have, of course, been 100% splash. But one of these chicks actually looks blue to me. I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of hatching a blue from two splashes. I'll be interested to see how it eventually...

    Started the Mega Coop

    We have finished framing the new MEGA chicken barn. It is 24 X 30. I bought the lots across the street from my house, and we fenced the entire lot with the chain link fence, rolling gates, etc. The building has a overhead door in the front and back and a walk-in door to the right of the...

    Fully developed chick did not hatch - Help!

    My last two hatches resulted in quite a few fully grown chicks who died in the shell never pipped. What is causing this? I was very careful with temps and humidity this last time. Any advice? My incubators are the genesis 1588 model. Using two different thermometers and hygrometers...

    Post Office would not ship my eggs!

    This topic may not belong in here, but I wasn't sure where to put it. Sorry! I just took my perfectly packages eggs to the local Post Office and they refused to accept them. Said they had never heard of shipping eggs. I told them I have received three shipments in the last year all marked...

    Not laying eggs - from stress

    I have a hen that started laying eggs in November. A few weeks ago, one of the dogs got into her pen. It mainly wanted to play not attack, and it chased her a bit before I found them. She lost some feathers, and had one small scrape on her side. I moved her to a pen by herself to...

    Baby Egg - Too Cute!

    I've heard about fart eggs before - but I've never got one until now: I put it next to a normal egg - so you could see how tiny it is. I love it!

    100% HATCH - WOOHOO!

    I just had a perfect hatch today! It's a first for me. I used a broody hen - Buffy - to hatch out my Splash Ameraucanas with the silkie feathers. They look to all be splash colored. I can't wait to see how the feathers turn out. Here's some cute pictures of the babies: Hatching...

    Help - Abandoned Egg - Still peeping

    This is my first experience hatching with a broody hen. She had six eggs and four have hatched. This morning she moved out of the nest box with the baby chicks and is down on the floor of the coop under the heat lamp. The two remaining eggs were left in the nest box. So I went out a while...

    Day 22 - Hatching late and having trouble

    Today is day 22 for my cuckoo marans eggs. I've had some low temperature fluctuations due to my house being cooler this time of year. Well my first chick had trouble getting out of the shell. The top of the shell stuck to its head and it couldn't get free. I finally had to rescue it and put...

    What's wrong with their feathers?

    I have two Splash Ameraucanas that are 18 weeks old. Their feathers are so strange, almost like fluffy silkie hair, not feathers. I don't know what you would call this. It's not like a frizzle. Has anyone else seen this on Ameraucanas? Also I've thought the bigger one was a rooster...

    Putting the little ones into the coop

    I have 24 twelve week old chickens, and then have 4 younger ones (6 weeks old) in the brooder. I want to turn the younger ones loose in the coop, but I'm having problems. I put the young ones in a cage inside coop run last Sunday so they could get used to each other. But yesterday, I...

    THE FINAL COUNT - PICS

    Out of 29 eggs, I had 4 hatch. Not such a great percentage. But my babies are very cute. I had one Blue Ameraucana, two Splash Ameraucanas, and one Cuckoo Marans named Obama. It was a great learning experience and I can't wait to get my next batch of eggs the first week of July. I...

    Weak Chick - getting picked on

    My had four chicks hatch in the incubator. The last chick took a really long time and is pretty weak compared to the other chicks. I left it in the incubator all afternoon and evening, but just took it out and moved it to the brooder. Now the older chicks are pecking the little chick. I put...

    UPDATED - SLOW HATCHING

    I'm on day 20, and today when I got home from work, I have a pip. My humidity is now up to 73% in a genesis 1588. Is that okay or too high? I know it takes a while, but nothings happened in the last three hours.
