    Nest box design, collecting from storage area.

    Hi there, I am thinking of what path to go with for my nesting boxes. In my previous coop, I walked into the feed storage room and the nest boxes were in the dividing wall between the chicken space and the storage, so I didn't have to go into the coop to collect eggs. They had holes in the back...

    Anyone have laying age Dominant Coppers?

    I was out of the chicken world for a little bit, and now that I’m back there seems to be 20 or more new hybrid breeds! The new craze here in Alaska is the Dominant Copper breed, I was curious if anyone here has raised any, and what they look like as adults and how their egg color is holding up...

    ISO BBS Australorp hatching eggs (west coast area)

    Hi, I'm in Alaska and I'm looking for BBS Australorp eggs. Shipping eggs is obviously at your own risk no matter what, but I feel better if they're at least starting their journey a little closer to me. Does anyone know have any they'd like to sell, or know someone they can refer me to? Thanks!

    When you breed for show, or just to improve the lines, does it effect

    Does it effect egg production? I'm just curious. Say your most beautiful girls are pretty lousy layers, or...infrequent, but you use her to breed, and only hatch her eggs. Do you think production is an inherited thing? I honestly don't know, so be kind. I LOVE, love some of these fantastic...

    I had a dream last night...

    I dreamt I walked into a store and they had chicks. In AK none of the feed stores sell chicks like out of state. So I walk in and see all these chicks, and it was like Christmas! I said to the employee, I didn't know you had chicks! He said well sure this is TSC...(which we don't have in Alaska...

    Better mama? Light Brahma or Standard Cochin?

    Both are broody right now, and due to a neighbor dog I have no roo, and they haven't laid since the darn dog was here. So.. A. Would you set eggs under them or do you think they could be too traumatized to stay broody? B. If you would set eggs, which breed makes a better mama? Thanks!
