Ok, this was a chicken site, I was reading about chickens, now I'm into the geneology again! Good thing hubby is not home, he would be rolling his eyes at me thinking I have lost my mind. He would be saying, that only I could combine chickens and geneology. I wonder if I did? Maybe someone can...

Thanks MissPrissy. I started with 42 chicken eggs and 5 guinea. One egg started oozing something out of it, so last week I threw it away. I still don't know what that was all about. I have never tried to candle eggs before, so I just left them alone. When I put them in the bator, I realized the...

OMG:ep. Just got off work, and checked the bator... 30 chicks with another still hatching:th. I moved 28 to the brooder, and kept the other 2 inside since they were still damp. I now have 10 chicken eggs, and 5 guinea eggs left to do something. ( Did I figure this correctly... I have a 63...

Popcorn is a good term for it!!! We went out of town last month and the eggs did not get picked up. I put all 47 in the bator, today is day 20 and when I got up at 6:30 this morning I had 1 adorable black Australorp/? . I got home tonight and had 12 , now there are 15 hatched, 5 more pipping...

Ruth is not quite a year old so this is her first time setting. I started her with just 4 eggs, ( she had been just sitting in the nest box, no eggs at all for 3 days) 4 days later, she is setting in a different box, and some of the other girls laid more eggs in with the first 4. Now I have 14...

Ok the first one looked like it had a yolk on its tummy. The second one had just a small hole but in the same area of its belly. The second was was still very damp, it had not been hatched out very long. I picked it up and it was not moving, eyes closed and such, I held it for several minutes...

Carthage Missouri, I was born and raised here( yeah I know, no big deal) but it gets alot better... Marlin Perkins, you know the guy who did the "Mutual of Omaha's wild kingdom" back in the 70's, astronaut Dr Janet Kavandi(sp), our beautiful courthouse, reminds me of a big castle, made of...

I had 14 eggs that mama was sitting on, Mon chick #1 hatched, doing just fine, but the next 2 days I had 2 more hatch both died after getting out of the shell. both have "splits " in their bellies, where you can see the insides. What is going on? Surely this can't be normal, what about the...

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Hope you get them. I agree about the loss of sleep and shotgun, happy hunting. Probably wrong to say, but sometimes revenge can really be sweet.

This has been fun. I love reading the fdifferent names. I have 16 total, 12 hens and 4 roos.( yes I know I don't need that many, just haven't decided who to get rid of yet) Some of these have names and some don't. Here goes... Buffy- BO, Claude - OEG ( Buffy's significant other), the other 2...

Sorry folks, really hate to rub it in... but my girls are still laying. I have 14 hens, and 5 roos. Temps have been in 20-40 range. We had the nasty ice storm a few weeks ago that hit Mo. The girls stopped laying about for 2 weeks back in Nov. They went down to 2 eggs a day from 9 or 10 daily...

I'm shy, people think I am reserved, but I'm not so I do more lurking than posting. I will be 42 real soon, been married for 23 years, ( met him 33 years ago,were best friends growing up and still are) and have 2 DD ( 26 and 21) 2 grandsons ( 4 yrs and 6 weeks). I ride a motorcycle, and have 4...

Oh really good one! I have bronchitis and laughed so hard, I started coughing and it really did hurt!

So glad you are ok. Yes unfortunately you should now plan on posting no trespassing signs on the rest of your property lines. Too many idiots out there hunting don't understand the proper safety that it requires. It is people like these that give us hunters a bad reputation. I have hunted for...

Since I am new to chickens, I depend on my friendly feed store owner for alot of info. Dale told me to switch from the laying mash to the starter/grower mash, cuz it is higher in protein, and it will help them continue laying during the winter. So far no change in laying habits, except for the...

I'm in Carthage, but people in Joplin, Webb City, Purcell, Jasper, and Lamar are just some that got hit really hard last week. I was right on the line of it, anyone NW of here got it a lot worse than we did. We do have our share of downed power lines, but I have not lost power yet. Thank God...

Weatherman predicted 5-11" for us, but we may have gotten 2". It was supposed to start about 4 am then get a wintry mix by 8 or so. This afternoon was supposed to bring another round of snow. It actually misted all night and morning, about 11:30 am it started to snow. The girls were glad...

I too am in SW Mo. about 60 miles west of Springfield. Anyone else nearby?

I have been reading about feeding eggshells, and was wondering how is the best way to feed it to your chickens? I have both crushed (pin head sized) and powdered eggshells. What would best to do with each kind? I was mixing a handful of powdered into a 5 gallon bucket of feed, but haven't...
