I have to tell you guys this tidbit. Last June I hatched 8 well Summers and seven out of the eight were cockerels. I kept one of the Cockrells for a while until I had to let him go because I live in the city. I tried the collar with him for a while and I do not recommend those. I went out one...

Should I snip it right by the egg shell. I have other eggs in there and I don't want to have the incubator open for too long. None of the others have even pipped yet, this chick was two days early. They weren't supposed to start hatching until tomorrow. I locked them down yesterday morning...

Gita, I have a chick that just hatched actually about four hours ago and she is still dragging the eggshell around by just a very thin thread. Do you think I should pull that little tiny thread away from that shell so that it can be loose? The thread is so tiny you can't hardly see it but it...

Hi Kirstie and everyone. I haven't been on BYC for a long time but had questions about BCM's. I have two, one black and one blue. I have the French standard. Not a lot of feathering, just a thin line of feathers. My question is do the Marans stop laying in winter months. I haven't seen a dark...

This is my rooster Screech and my hen Sola. Sola just started laying pretty little blue eggs. Just wanted to post some pics of my pretties.My pics of my roo didn't do him justice! He just wouldn't turn around and smile for the camera.

Hi retired Ron, have you figured out how to send pictures yet? I had trouble with that at first also but thankfully somebody told me how to do it and it worked great for me. If you need help just let me know.

Aart, it looks to me like you have a lot of chickens and that you would be a person that I could ask a question. All of a sudden the last three days I have had three or four eggs underneath my chicken coop. I have a chicken that I think is Broody. She stays in the coop for long periods of time...

I have an Ameraucana leghorn mix. She lays the prettiest blue eggs. A different time she has laid a blue egg so light in color that it almost looks white. The color has changed again and now they are more blue than they were. Sometimes it will look like her egg has a blue ring around it a...

Twisted Greta, why don't u put a no crow collar on him? I have one on mine and it works really good on him. I don't understand why you can't have roosters if you're living in the country!

Tella, you will no doubt end with two moms. I have just gone through that. I hd a broody sitting on 6 eggs and one week before hatch date another of my chickens started sitting on the eggs also. They took turns up until hatch time. My chicks are 6 weeks old and the second hen that took over is...

Chicks surreal, I tried taking my broody out too. and it just doesn't work. She just go right back in she is very stubborn. I was real happy this time that she went broody because I had eggs in the incubator and I could take them out and put them under her instead. I've had her for a year and...

Faraday, my broody has hatched three groups of chicks starting in March again in June and now August. I really hope that she is done for the rest of the year..she's a great mama though and she never leaves her eggs hardly at all when she starts. She just loves hatching chicks I guess.

These are my baby mamas, how funny is that? It's hard to get pictures of these guys, the mamas are really possessive.

I started out incubating and one week after I did that actually about five days after I started,my broody decided that she wanted to be broody again. So I made sure that she actually was wanting to hatch eggs again and at seven days I put my eggs under her. I have very good faith in her. She has...

Those eggs are really pretty.Nice vibrant color.

Haha Bama, they seem to be doing that all over the place. One normal,one large.

I know a lot of you guys are into gardening and someone gave me the name of this squash and I'm just wondering why one squash is so much bigger and a different shape and it's the same plant. Thought maybe one of you might know. Maybe I just got a green thumb for squash and some get bigger than...

This is the only chick that I got out of my last hatch,I don't know what happened but anyway that's the way it is. This is where she decided that she would like to roost. She's been jumping in and out of her tote box and I let her because I feel sorry for her that she's probably bored. She's...

I have used the white powdery diatomaceous earth on my chickens, food grade. I never had any problems with my chickens and bugs I put it on the ground and in their nest and basically all over the place. This is in reply to chicken hills. I ordered mine online and they send you a big 10 pound box...
