So I acquired my first chicks about a month and a half ago, at the same time ordering hatching eggs somewhere along the way I have no clue what kinds of chickens.. I got them from someone local... I think he said americanas but they all look so different .. as for sex I'm pretty positive there's...
Okay I woke up this morning to.1dead chick , 3Weeks.old and 1duckling that will not move, I think his nervous system is failing because he is throwing his head ... I separated him and put the remaining chicks and ducking a box with clean bedding and clean water...
2 out of 4 members of my...
Whoot!! Old thread I know but this was my plan from day one!! My ex paints cars and I always thought that rhino liner would work wonders... Now ha to get him to come paint it for me and provide the rhino liner for free ... Hmmm .. Lol
I got 5 chicks from a local farmer about a week ago, he told me they we're 3days old, born on MLK day... And that they we're americana... Easter Eggers.
Well 2 of the 5 are about half the size of the other chicks (have always been smaller) they eat, drink and have gotten wing feathers like the...

Okay so my daughters girlscout leader is writing a program for about 60 girls to.hatch eggs ... Bombarding me with questions and I'm new to.this too.. She.said that they are $15 incubators,...
First question... Any tips for using those incubators? I am.guessing they are.the ones 4H would send...
:) so I couldn't help myself and candled today... 4 of 6 are definitely growing, the other 2 are the darker brown and porous so it's hard to see :)
But hooray :)
Sally :) I have all those bookmarked already lol I have been researching and reading and planning since before Christmas when I was...
I've read the other threads on here about how you should seperate, while looking for a solution to my messy ducks when it comes to the waterer in my brooder, so I thought to myself I would seperate them... Not so happy, I have 2 ducklings and 5 chicks at the moment, they do.everything together...
Thanks lol... I'm looking at all these charts for candling and lol since it's the first time I'm a bit weary of the eggs, I didn't order from a hatchery since we need a small amount (incubator holds 7 ) so I'm just nervous lol and hoping for the kiddos atleast 1 or 2 hatch if not more :)
Sorry I'm posting mobile so the pictures are all over , the brown eggs as well are very porous, and through reading I found mixed reviews on those so I figured we would just wait a few days... I also need to know whether or not it safe to leave the eggs in there if they are not fertile, really...
okay so here's my dilemma, my daughter got a brisnea incubator for Christmas, so after research and planning we ordered our first batch of eggs online.
Above is one of the white eggs
as of now they've in an incubator for 3 days so tonight we decided to candle them, just to have a peek.... that...
