Ahhh, I had wondered if that could be the case... so the original went into the food clutch and a new one took it's place and started to develop... my bad. I should have removed the other right away... the original marking had faded on all of them, so I remarked them to keep track... must have...

Ahhh, I wasn't clear... it was a clear egg on candle days 1-5 or so... then suddenly, it started showing signs of development... almost like it was in stasis... unless they switched eggs on me... I tied off the yolk sac and kept that baby separate for a while, when the third egg hatched, then I...

First of all Pyxis, I am so sorry and I would have been devastated!!! Second, I am on my third try to hatch eggs under a broody... different Broody, Anna, this time. They hatched a day early, so I called in. First was there early this morning and unabsorbed yolk... it is quarantined in the...

Ugh, I have had a horrible time with my broody, Abby... she started June 6 and I finally got her to stop this week... actually split up her third collection because another hen, Anna, went broody... gave Anna a couple cuz she only had one. Abbys latest ended up black and no movement, Anna...

But how will she be protected? Stirling keeps them safe and I want her in there locked right... the raccoon has been a serious nuisance... She is in her pen, but I let her out to roam and somehow she got locked out of out... the one egg was dead... dead dead dead... smelly, dead. Fully formed...

Ugh!!! My partridge rocks went broody in the beginning of June, she played musical nests for for days before finally settling down. I allowed her five eggs. A week later, she had nine. On hatch day, nothing happened. The next day I found her in the wrong nest, eggs cold. I moved her to a...

My nine month old partridge rocks went broody on June 6. On the seventh, she switched nests, on the eighth, she switched nests, on the ninth she went back to the original nest. I had collected all eggs that she left and gave her five. She sat that well, and today should be hatch day. But she...

Rancher, I got my entire flock from My Pet Chicken. A very healthy flock except for one who had a deformation of her tail. I started to notice his aggressiveness around four months of age. I read somewhere that comb size is connected to testosterone levels... well, his comb is huge... he's quite...

Hi, how old are the blue laced red? Do you have any blue laced red hens to go with for a mating pair? I'm interested in him tho. But I have a very aggressive Delaware roo, what's his temperament?

I am going to have to bow out. I realized that the weekend coincides with my parents taking an Alaskan cruise and I will be helping with their 14 year old dog. :rolleyes:

I'm sorry, I didn't get any of these messages. I decided it was a fox just based on the lack of a body and the multiple hens involved. The hen was put down by a neighbor, definitely had a punctured lung. I held her and kissed her until the "moment", then carried her to the pet cemetery to bury...

I think he did attack the fox. One hen was missing, one was mortally injured but in the coop and he was on guard in the doorway... he goes after me at the strangest times. But I won't let him out if people are here. My toddler and older son, my dad, they've all been targeted. He is VERY...

Hi, I am still going to attend with my toddler. I would like to purchase some chicks... of course I picked a bunch of rare breeds doing research... not ready for $20 chicks yet tho. My flock made it through the winter wonderfully, only to lose two hens too a fox because I broke my own rule and...

So, a week ago, I found my australorp pecking at a wound on her back only to discover a 3 inch gash. It was stitched up and she was disinfected and separated. With the help of a member on here, I was relieved to find she'd be ok. However, she has pulled her stitches out yet again. Bandages help...

Why men only?? I live in the country, I'll cop a squat if I have to... or get a she-wee. I'm acting mother and father here now... I'll eat more beef, asparagus, etc. Less water, that should stink it up

Oh!! Found it, cold weather makes for good phone service.. just down I88... about an hour and a half from me

Lol, I grew up with an engineer father who was a professor at the college and a medical lab mother who was a science freak... I myself am a history buff who wanted to be a farm wife with lots of kids. Could you give me an idea of what part of ny you're in? My internet isn't that great, but I'm...

Oh, this phone!!! I doubt I'd HAVE anything.... I want a few more BREEDS...

Where are you located? I am very interested in attending with my two year old son. I doubt I'd gave anything to bring other than the pot luck, but I AM interested in getting a few more needs in my coop. By the by, X should be hen and Y should be rooster. Lol. My mother is a cytogeneticist...

Lol, Rancher... four was always my favorite number... as a child, I assigned personalities to all the numbers 1-10... On another note, I never considered that if I let my hen hatch the eggs that the chicks wouldn't be my babies. I may need to reconsider, as I want everyone imprinted on me. And...
