    Identify These Tracks!

    Thanks to a fresh layer of snow, I found some tracks leading to my chicken coop. We have some neighborhood cats, but these tracks seemed bigger and with a longer stride. Maybe it's just a larger cat!? Any idea? I'm in northern Utah at the base of the mountains.

    What is a Hohner accordion worth?

    Today I bought a Hohner accordion. The model says "Student IV." Does anyone know how much it is worth? It seems to be in pretty good shape! Everything works. It is obviously very old due to the original case that it is in. From what I was told, an old accordion teacher used it to teach some...

    This is a supposed Rhode Island Red rooster over a Silver Laced Wyandotte hen. I heard these were sexed link... and from what I read this was supposedly a hen. It was a darker chipmunk chick rather than a lighter chick... but now I'm not sure... Any input?

    New Polls

    The current polls may be out of date. It would be interesting to start a new official poll of how many chickens people have (hens vs Roos) and the reasons they have them. ,my flock has tripled but i can't reflect that in the polls. This is just an idea! Thanks for all you guys do!

    Dead Rooster... Lethargic and black comb... What happened?

    So, two days ago, I came home from work only to find my rooster nearly dead. He had been free ranging the yard, like always, with the other hens. He was lethargic (couldn't stand up), his head was bobbing, his eyes were closed, and his comb and wattles were cold and nearly black... I thought...

    Will eggs left in the cold weather before collection still hatch?

    So I am going to start collecting eggs to put in the incubator in about a week, however, I am unable to collect the eggs until I get home from work around 5 pm. Will the eggs still hatch if they are left in the nesting box in the 20 degree weather? I tried to find relevant posts, but to no avail.

    No wire, what else can I set eggs on?

    After recently making a new incubator, I realized I am out of hardware wire. Is it ok to just set the eggs on a towel in the incubator? Or what is another option? I plan on hand turning the eggs.

    Homemade Manual Egg Turner

    I've seen that some of the incubators have manual egg turners (pvc pipes with a carton attached) to turn the eggs. My question is this: if I were to use my hand, I would turn the eggs 180 degrees. However, with the egg turners, do they only slightly rotate back and forth... like, a pendulum sort...
