    How do you sell?

    I'm wanting to sell meat birds this year but I would like to know how you all go about it. How do you take preorders? Do you have people put down a deposit? If so, how much? I don't want to take orders and then be stuck with a bunch of meat (which we could use, but I want to make sure I don't...

    Crusted chick

    Thanks everyone for your replies! I ended up taking a bowl of warm water and holding chick by the head and submerging him (I had a space heater going right next to the bowl to keep him/her warm). I had to leave him in there for quite a while and the crust still wasn't loosening, so I stuck a bit...

    Crusted chick

    I'm sorry if this has been addressed before, I don't want to waste any time searching so I can get fixing this poor thing. I had a chick hatch last night/this morning, and he is completely crusty. He was in the incubator just a chirping away, so I went to check on him.....his eyes are cemented...

    What happened with this duck egg? UPDATED with pics

    I put 4 muscovy duck eggs and 2 cuckoo maran eggs in the incubator on 9/11. As of a few days ago there were 3 duck eggs and 1 chicken egg with veining. Yesterday when I candled, I noticed a very dense and largish looking mass inside the one duck egg that didn't have veining. It looked like what...

    this hatching thing just isnt as easy as it looks

    I'm far from an expert but I would guess that the 105 spike is what killed them and/or messed up their development. Sorry about your chicks and eggs

    Help with gender & breed (silkie/cochin) *Pic hvy*

    These were all supposed to be silkies (we hatched from eggs) but one is most definitely not a silkie (right?). I contacted the seller and she said it was possible that a cochin got mixed in there. So is this a silkie/cochin? Or just a cochin? I've never really seen a cochin so I don't have much...

    What sex are these Barred Rocks? *Picture heavy*

    I ordered two hens and got four. I'm assuming they usually send males as the packing peanuts, so who is who? Or could I have lucked out and gotten four pullets? I have them labeled by colors as I have zip ties around their legs so I can tell them apart. They were hatched 3/11 so they're around...

    Red breast

    DH went to process one of the chickens (he's done about 12 so far) and the breast is really red, like it didn't completely bleed out or something- even though he did everything the same. Is this okay to eat, or should he not even bother processing it?

    Want to see a baby chick hatch?

    Quote: Unfortunately only 3 out of 4 hatched (I haven't uploaded the "birth" video for the other one(s), I'm not sure what kind of footage the Mr. got, I was at yoga while they hatched ). I did end up opening the fourth eggs and got some really great photos- I mean, as great as photos of an...
