OK so the story goes like this …… I bought 2 dozen eggs for hatching from okiehen in Oklahoma. She emailed that they were on their way on April 5, 2010. April 13th (yes they were with the post office for 7 days) they arrived at my doorstep via the local carrier. They were well packed and...

I just picked this one year old Light Brahma up and I don’t know what to make of his feet. The flock seemed to be in the middle of a molt. I got him because he wasn't playing nice with the other roo. I did the Vaseline treatment the night I brought him home thinking maybe mites…but now I’m...

OK so I bought some one-year-old turkeys. They were bought last year as the Rare Turkeys Assortment - 4 breeds. There is a Black Spanish tom, 2 Chocolate hens, 2 Wild hens, and 2 Narragansett hens. They are reportedly breeding and laying. Do I really want to mix the breeds? What will I get for...

I am so eggsited. I got a call at noon my time telling me my eggs from greenfamilyfarms in North Carolina were here. I went to town and picked them up as fast as I could. They are now sitting in the tray getting acclimated and will be in the Sportsman by tonight. Great packing job. Only had on...

I need to see what this cross looks like as a chick. Pease help! Thanks. Holly

OK so I have BO, RIR and Barred Rocks in the same coop. Plan was to get sex links with the RIR and BR but never got them separted yet. So I just hatched 40 of this coops eggs and I am trying to figure out who is whose. HELP! Any ideas on the sex of the black ones? He really does have a white...

I am hoping that these are Araucana or Ameraucana. I’ve never had them before but would like to hatch some of the eggs. She lays a light green egg. Left the pics large so they would be clear. Thanks for all your help and info. Holly

I was wondering if anyone else had to mash the crumbles up for their chicks? Our little D’Uccles hatched on 2/14 and I thought all was going well. This was a first time for the banty sized babies. Had them in the brooder and watched them eat and drink. (At least it looked that way) The crops...

Is there any way to connect a spell check system to this site so my typo's don't show up so often? Just a thought.

My question is this: When pullets start laying (fertilized eggs) are the chicks any weaker or stronger than a chick from an older hen's egg? My 6 month old girls eggs are smaller than the old ladies and I was just wondering if that size will make any difference in the quality of the...

I am looking to improve my stock. I am interested in 1 or 2 dozen (maybe more) BO eggs to add fresh lines to mine. I am looking for pure BO. I have a Sportsman incubator and a brooder as well as a very well insulated coop so I am already setup. Would like to get them ASAP. I am hoping to find...

This little chick is about 5 weeks old. It has had it's eyes shut for a while but I soaked them today and they opened!(I had thought they were swollen shut) He is about the size of my newly hatched babies. The growth is on both side in the corners of the mouth. I soaked them and peeled some...

The chick on the left is a 4 day old BO. The one on the right is a BO banty cross at 30 days old. Do you think the white one will ever grow up? I had to put her in with the 4 day olds cause she was getting trampled and I think her eyes got scratched. She has them closed but does open them and...

I have 29 3+ weeks olds that I am trying to sex. I was told that the ones with tails were hens and the ones without were roos. Whichever way it works out it is pretty obvious in the brooder that the tail means something. I have about half with and half without. What do you all think. First 2...

Can anyone tell the sex of this little chick. she/he is 7 weeks old. Bought her for a friend that needed a new hen to go with her pair she was going to be a mothers day present.

I finally found where my BO is hiding her nest She is in a patch of brush and sitting on lots of eggs. I got a close look at her and she had eggs all around her so she has a nest full. (It was warm today so maybe she was cooling them off) I don't know how long she has been there but so far she...
