Any ways so sorry I wasn't able to attend. I had a stroke that week. I am doing better but this one left me some damage on left hand side. No sympathy needed...could be worse. I don't whine about my issues...most do not know...but this time it really showing. This is to apologize for...

Hey all, I have tons of chickens. Tons = Way to many to count at the moment (Ok fine I will think about it...about 60). I have bantams and I have standards. I would like a new broody. So no SQ for me, and forget egg production and colors! I would like eggs from a broody chicken or one with a...

Her name is Eve. I bought her 2 weeks ago. We also are buying a couple of kits today (unrelated) for breeding puposes. I had no clue they were so rare. Gorgeous fur and they will work for meat too (they are foe meat, but all white meat rabbits have been prefered by most commercial...

I have conflicting info on sizes. I have large breeds (AM chins, NZ, Calis, and Satins) but I was looking at the nesting box I have...um....not big enough. Today is day 27 and I was going to put it in tomorow at day 28. Any one have any plans? Or ideas? Thanks!

I figured I would just keep reusing this thread when ever I want to show off Pics....so always more to come...what started this thread was I wanted to show off all the cute little chicks I have...thanks to BYC members eggs. I live on 4 acres nestled on a hillside. There are very few "flat"...

I have been really lucky with some great hatches! But for some reason last eggs (due last Saturday) have had issues. I have 2 born on Sat but that was it...out of 12 eggs. Both still had blood in their shells...quite a bit. A few died in their shell too. I stagger hatches and all others...

http://portland.craigslist.org/clc/grd/909612108.html I know every wants them (but me) so when I saw this I thought I may put it up here for some one looking. No not my ad.

I finally did it. I have done all my hatches staggered...but I messed up at one point. I have 1 1588 hova-bator with turner (dorkings, Blu Orps, BluexBR now) 1 1602 hova bator (still air, no turner my main hatcher) (BR hatching but not due until Sunday) 1 LG still air with turner (empty) I...

Dorking eggs? Does anyone have any? Pretty please?

I had 2 EE hatch and I dont want to get them mixed up with the couple EE a week older in the brooder...I wanna know who is who nas they grow. The all look exactly the same except the older ones have a little more feathers. How do you guys mark them? Leg bands, the punch thing, food coloring...

I have kids that are really wanting to join 4-H. We have goats, chickens, and rabbits at the moment...nothing with papers. And I know NOTHING about 4-H. What amount of time you spend in meetings, people, cost, etc. I don't even know if they have a local one....I have been a little hesitant...

I checked and there was nothing going on in my hatcher....and quail are due today. Then I went and checked again...right now and guess what...5 minutes later there is a little yellow quail roaming around in there. Hurray! I hope he/she has room...there are tons (over 40 eggs I think) in...

I am debating on keeping these 3 roos. Right now 2 out of 3 are in "bachelor" pens till I decide. I don't know how ugly or nice looking they are ....no clue. Not a one of the roos are related to each other or any other chicken on the farm. Please excuse mess in my pens...We we just getting...

Mine was a flop and all but 1 of my BW broke their necks...some got so wet from the water container too. All I can find on line is big hatchery pics....nothing I could obtain and upkeep in my dinning room. Any ideas? Pictures? What works....and what doesn't?

I have yet to learn the different combs. Does anyone have pictures to explain? I figured I would look to the experts....after a few Google searches and some conflicting info I think I have some of it down...but I am still vague in a few areas. Is there a thread around here I am missing that...

Time to sort threw my mix of bantams I got for a hatchery. I know what some are (or think) thanks to BYC folks help but last pics they were only 2 weeks old so time to go threw and confirm identities and maybe a few sexes......if anyone is up to it. I started to thank eveyone for helping by...

I hatched out 5 BW quail yesterday and the day before. Today I am down to 2 left breathing...why are they dying? The 2 are running around but I never see them eat or drink. I dunked their beaks in it like you do with chicks. My first quail too. Temp is 99 F in brooder....marbles in...

I can't tell which one is stinking (30 some quail eggs....and 18 chicken eggs)? Think it is the quail ones....they went in last...but they have to dark of shells for me to candle...they look fine but boy does that bator stink! Not bad if I keep the vent close...lol...then I cant smell it...

Tomorrow/late tonight at 2 am is day 24 (counting day 1 as day 0 right?). No pips...no movement....nothing. I am now getting so nervous. Are they known to hatch later...say day 25 or 26? They were in the hova-bator 1588 untill yesterday morning ...then I put them in the 1602 for hatching...
