    Review by '' on item 'Polish'

    Our Polish was my daughter's pick at the farm store and she named her Stuart Little because the poor thing liked to never grow. Stuart is now growing and resemble Phyllis Diller. This hen is always good for a laugh, but just not very smart. Thankful we have her to look at!

    Review by '' on item 'Rhode Island Red'

    My dad has RIR's and we kept his with ours during their chick stage. They were always dominant in our flock and would be fine with humans, but definately on the top of the flock. They are thankfully now with him and are always puffing up their personality with one another. Dad recently added...

    Review by '' on item 'Easter Eggers'

    My son wanted to have a hen who laid green/blue eggs so I caved in at the local farm store and bought him two. It was a pleasant suprise as his two birds are stunningly beautiful and sweet as can be. We enjoy them so much we went and bought some more later. They have done well with the rest...

    Review by '' on item 'Australorp'

    For our flock we wanted docile dual purpose birds. Our daughter is timid around animals and we are new to the chicken business in our own home. My husband and I both had grandfathers with more agressive birds and we didnt' want that. The 'lorps are such a good bird. Very sweet and easy to...

    Review by '' on item 'Orpington'

    Our Buff Orps have been absolute sweethearts from Day 1. When hatched they were these pretty yellow fluffy chicks, now 3 months later they are beutiful sweet chickens. If you have children who are timid with animals or are a first timer, these are for you! Our rooster is the most gentle bird...

    Hatching advice for Australorp's

    This is my second time incubating Australorp's. The first time was with Buff Orpington's and the Buff's buzzed on out of the eggs, the lorp's were slow to come out, on day 22, pip to zip took forever, and several didn't make it at the last minute. This time I am doing a straight run of...

    I just set eggs this morning 3-13-12 Has anyone else?

    When it was time for mine to leave the incubator I left them in one more day which was day 25 then disposed of them. I candled them and it appeared they died quite awhile earlier. I did have some that pipped and zipped in hours, but my first ones took much longer. Be patient, they may come on...

    I just set eggs this morning 3-13-12 Has anyone else?

    Definately LEAVE THEM IN! Learn from my rookie mistake of loosing 3 chicks by taking them out too early. It's amazing how much faster the rest of them get out when the bulls are left in the china shop. You will now when it's time, but they are fine in there.

    I just set eggs this morning 3-13-12 Has anyone else?

    I set my 21 Australorps on 3/4. Only 3 were not viable. One egg was really moving last night and today nothing. Just called the hubby and he said there are some moving around. Not nearly as much movement and sound as my first hatch so I am growing very concerned this hatch is a bust.

    HELP!! chicks dying all of the sudden

    Talked to our local FFA advisor. Sounds like the heat got them. We saved two by giving them some water and putting them back in the bator. Rookie mistakes. Thankfully we were here watching and save some. Just hate seeing them suffer. Thank you all soooo much!
