At about what day do the eggs start moving? And how long do they usually move for before pipping or peeping? We locked down on day 17 (on accident) and saw the eggs wobbling a little. It is now day 20 and the eggs are still wobbling but no peeping yet. Though it seems the eggs have somewhat...

Greetings! This spring we found one of our chickens badly injured. We think it was a raccoon or a fox. Something had grabbed her back, just above the saddle area and dug claws into her. She escaped, but in doing so ripped a huge chunk of skin and meat off of her back! The wound started between...

Hey there! I just received some pinless peepers from Murray McMurray Hatchery. They are green. I received 25 since that was the smallest order but I only need a few. I am willing to mail these to small-flock owners that only need a couple if you don't mind covering the cost of postage. Or if you...

Hello! I have three red sex-link hens. I just got home from work (4am) and went to check on them to make sure they were ok since it is the coldest night thus far this year. The dominant hen was sleeping apart from the others and STANDING, with her legs all bare. Her head remained tucked under...

Hey all! Everywhere I go to buy egg cartons the minimum purchase is 25 cartons! We only have three hens, and we don't sell our eggs, but we need a couple more cartons to transport eggs and hold them in our refrigerator. I have tried bringing eggs to work and then asking coworker to bring a...

Hey all! I know there is a GIGANTIC poopboard thread, but I wanted to make this there more specific to the construction aspect. I am trying to building a poopboard/roost where I can remove the poopboard to clean it while leaving the rest of the structure intact. I want to research different ways...
