If your countys like ours with over 100 pins of birds with everone getting them from the same place and same time its also alot of luck. Actually theres only a few pens of the meat birds. Last year I think there was 3 pens? Everyone has to order the chicks to get them at the same time from the...

I'm getting cornish rock cross chicks to show at the county fair. I've raised them once before but that was a few years ago. The chicks that look the best, and gain the most are the ones that win. So what are the top things you should do so they are healthy and gain alot, and the things you...

Very nice birds Banter! We have 25 Russian Orloff Chicks that are shipping out on the 15th of June from Strombergs Hatchery.

It looks great!

Thats a very nice coop and flock you got there!

Yes, I'd love to see pictures of yours. I'm glad to hear that they are sweet, gentle birds.

Havent ordered the incubator or used one of t hose. But I wouldnt buy it if I were you. You'd have a hard time keeping temp and humidity in a small cheap bator. Probably a waste of your money and time.

http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGK/Orloffs/BRKOrloff.html\\ Welp hatchery in iowa has them, and i think ideal does too. But thats all I know of. They must be fairly rare?

Sometimes they are called Russian Orloffs. Does anyone have them? I dont really know much about them besides what I've read in my poultry book. My mom is set on getting some of them, so I'm going to order some eggs to hatch, or some chicks from a hatchery. But theres only a few hatcheries that...

Wow, that looks very nice!

Oh well I looked it in my chicken book and it says that EEs are Araucanas crossed with another breed. So I'm assuming that #7 & 6 are Araucanas then since thats one of the choices.

Are EE's and Araucanas the same thing?

7. This is another chick that is not nearly as poofy or as big as #6.

I hatched some of them, I got the eggs from a swap. There were white silkies and assorted bamtams. I got 6 or so from a lady who has a ton of chicks, but those are mixes. I bought 12 laying breeds from my hatchery- some I know are barred rocks. THe other ones are either Rhode Island Reds or...

She wont get off her nest of eggs if she is broody

Very Cute!! What are you hatching them in?

There is something wrong with my one chick that has mostly hatched, so i'm assuming he is going to die. But thats not a huge suprise considering he is early. None of the other ones have pipped anything, and I havent candled. So I hope they wait till saturday/sunday and have a good hatch.

Thanks for the advice guys. We're going to see if we can get some live traps from the DNR and im betting we'll catch our own cats in there atleast a few times. one of the predators catches and kills the chicken and then eats the meat off of it. whereas the other one rips the head off and doesnt...

Thats great, i hope you have a wonderful hatch! I've been thinking about buying one of these to compare to my brinsea eco...

I use straw and shredded paper. I also use shreded paper in the nestboxes.
