    Cream Legbar Chicks

    We had 6 posted Cream Legbar Eggs. One died early in incubation, one died middle of incubation, 3 hatched naturally and one was help as it was stuck in it's shell. We are pretty sure that one is a girl because it has a really black stripe and dark eye bar. We are pretty sure the lightest one...

    Our Family Tree

    I know that there have already been a few threads on family trees in the past but they seem to have stopped relatively quickly. So, I decided to create my own. :D Please feel free to talk about your own search, comment on mine (corrections are very welcome) or just chat. Since, I don't want to...

    I think they are boys! What do you think? pic heavy - 8 new ones

    Boy? 1 Boy? 2 I think they are about 5 weeks old and they were bought as girls almost a week ago. I need to know so that I can let the breeder know so that we can exchange them for girls before she runs out of chicks.

    Put The Chicken Down

    We had a new chick hatch last night. I had to help it hatch because it pipped, partially zipped and then somehow turned upside down. It is so far an only chick as the one other egg in the incubator is iffy. Now, my husband refuses to put the chick down. Granted the chick is the cutest we've had...

    Could this - Would this work? Open front coop/run combo

    Hi Peeps, Instead of a regular chicken coop I have an idea that I was wondering if it would work for my chickens. We currently live in the south west/center of England. At the side of our house we have a patio area that we don't use and it is shaped like a V with a flat bottom of aprox 6' wide...

    Candled Remaining Eggs

    Hi All, I candled all the eggs remaining in the bator. All but 6 were either clear or only had small black spots. One had started to leak and stuck itself to the egg shelf the eggs were on. Thank goodness the inner membrane held and the sloshing liquid didn't explode over everything. My...

    Chick won't lay down to sleep

    Hi All, Ok One of our two day old chicks has been chirping a lot and when we fist looked at her she couldn't open one eye. So we boiled some water, cooled it and cleaned around it with dampened cotton pads. Her eye seems better but she was still chirping a lot. So we looked closer and we...

    Rocking eggs - Does it mean an early hatch?

    I was just hand turning my eggs and two have rocked by themselves (maybe they were protesting being turned ). This Saturday (2nd July) is "lockdown" does this mean that some of them may hatch early? Should I up the humidity and stop turning now instead of waiting for Saturday? I'm so excited as...

    Bokashi

    Does anyone add bokashi to their chicken's feed and sprinkle it on the poop board? It is suppose to make the chicken's droppings less acidic, help with the poo smells, improve digestion and promote a healthier gut. I am thinking of adding it to my chicks' starter feed or buy some with it already...

    Ooops - I dropped one

    I just accidentally dropped one of my eggs that I was hand turning. It now has a circular indentation on the side and the resultant cracks. It hit two other eggs but they didn't crack. I put it back temporarily. I did candle it and all I could see was the air sack as the rest is dark. The eggs...
