    Easter Egger crossed with Barred Plymouth Rock

    So my kids and I purchased an incubator and we are on our 3rd hatch! Hatching has been so fun! The first two sets to hatch went to a friend wanting chicks, which was what gave us the idea to hatch as well as doing it for a homeschool project. So we started out only hatching the barred rock eggs...

    post your chicken coop pictures here!

    Lol well I will tell you there are no trees here in West Texas! At least I don't call them trees haha. I am from FAR Northern California so short mesquite trees don't look like trees to me. But what you see is an area that used to be a really popular lake just a few years ago, but is now dried up :/

    post your chicken coop pictures here!

    I would like to share my coop. I built it last year and this site was most helpful!!! Thank you to everyone who shares through this site. I think my toughest challenge was to figure out where to put the roost in a small coop! I came up with the design you see with an extension to attach the...

    Frost bite

    Can anyone make a suggestion on my ventilation? Was against putting a heat lamp in coop, because chickens have survived for a long time even before electricity. But my rooster appears to be frost bite on his comb :/

    Frost bite

    It appears my rooster has frost bite on his comb :(. I tried to catch him to put some Vaseline on it which is info I found on here and failed catch him, grrr. So now I am sitting here trying to figure out how to prevent this. I live in West Texas, the overnight low last night was low 20's. This...

    Should I add water to incubator during hatch?

    Yes it's a brinsea. It really has held well on temp and humidity. The chick pipped last night, one tiny hole. This morning before I left for the chick was really struggling to poke through membrane more. So when I came home this evening and saw chick still struggling to really get through...

    Should I add water to incubator during hatch?

    Ok so this is my first hatch, and I am beginning to get paranoid about chicks dying while hatching. We just had our first hatch a couple hours ago! Very exciting. I have been worried about the first that pipped the membrane is getting so dry looking. I really do not want to open the bator for...
