My son hatched eggs 3 years ago for his science fair project. We used refrigerated versus non refrigerated eggs as our test and the hypothesis was that the refrigerated eggs would have a lower hatch rate. My daughter wants to use hatching chicken eggs for her project this year but we need a...

I just wanted to share a bit. This seems like the appropriate place. Bear with me. 3 years ago I decided that I wanted to raise chickens as a backyard pet and for those beautiful, cruelty free eggs. This began a journey. I informed my husband that for my birthday I wanted him to build me a...

My favorite white Leghorn who is 3 years old has a prolapse with stuck egg this morning. It's horrible! I can't get the egg to move. Her uterus is outside of her body. I tried soaking in warm water but I can't get the egg to budge. I rubbed Preparation H onto as much as I could. I can't...

Here is my dilemma. I have a rooster that is 6 months old. I am trying to give him away but no one seems to want him. Go figure! Anyway, the immediate problem is that my neighbor is complaining about him. They are having their daughter's wedding reception outside on Saturday evening. If I...

I have a Swedish Flower Hen rooster in with my 3 Swedish Flower Hens and my other assorted girls. He is just getting interested in the ladies, and my Swedish Flower Hens are just about POL. They were hatched on 3/20. When they start laying, is there any danger in trying to hatch their first...

I have a young Swedish flower Hen rooster that I hatched on 3/20/13. I can't keep roosters so poor "Rocky" has to go (unfortunately!). If you would like to add this young fellow to your flock, let me know. He is very handsome! Anyone? I don't want him to go somewhere that they'll eat him.

OK. Today I received my automatic door from Adorstore.. (a sponsor on this website). We installed it this afternoon. When I came home from dinner, all but one of my chickens was closed out of the coop. I guess because it was raining, that it recognized it as dark earlier than it should...

I went outside to open the coop and let the girls out as usual. My 3 year old Easter Egger (Jessie) was sitting on the roost after everyone else came out for their morning goodies. I touched her (which she usually freaks out over) and she just sat there, not moving at all. I picked her up...

I have 4 adorable Swedish Flower Hens (that I hope are all hens!) that I hatched on March 20th, making them 3 1/2 weeks old. I don't see noticeable differences but I'm not sure in this breed at what age noticeable differences show up between pullets and roos. Anyone with knowledge of the breed...

I have 9 shipped Swedish flower hen eggs in my incubator. When I received them I candled them and 3 had detached air shells. I read everything I could, let the eggs rest 24 hours and have had the 3 in an egg container with the air cell up since going into the incubator. Long story short, one...
