Thanks for the info Becci... So far I have 6 live chicks. One I found dead, and another I removed because it was being squished. It lived for about 6 hours, then gave up. I don't think it was completely ready to hatch because alot of the egg was still stuck to it (which I did not remove) and...

I have two hens laying on about 30 eggs. Tomorrow is day 21 for about 13 of them. This morning the girls got off the nest to get a drink and eat, and of course I high-tailed it to the coop to take a peek ...There is one egg that has a nickel size hole in the egg but the membrane is still...

We have only had our teenagers for about a week. They are cochin/easter egger mix. There are two roosters (we think) One we have named Braveheart because he has been the first to do everything..The other I have named Sir Poppycock (from America's got talent) ..he is a little goofy...and one of...

Hi chic-a-deee! Thanks for the welcome.. I am in SW Florida. I am just concerned about the roosters, because we promised our neighbors (we live in a residential area) that we would not get roosters. but life is like a box of chocolates isn't it?? LOL I will post pic soon. I have only had my...
