    INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

    I will probably keep a few of the Cochins since my grandaughter is attached to them and sell the rest at the local farmers market in a few weeks. I only wanted a dozen of the rhode bar eggs but it was a deal I couldn't pass up. I raise hens for the eggs mainly for my family and friends with the...

    INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

    It's been a crazy hatching week here! I bought 6 dozen hatching eggs from a breeder for $30 because the person that ordered them didn't show up to pick them up. There were a mix of Cochins, Mille fleur, rhodebar, leghorn and americaunas. I had to use all three of my available incubators but got...

    INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

    I have found that sharing the run with the chickens really doesn't work out so well. I love my cute, fuzzy ducklings but they are such messy little fluffs. I now keep them in a seperate run. Unfortunately I didn't keep the chickens out of the duck run and now have a hen sitting on 4 Pekin eggs...

    All 6 Pekin Ducks hatched with no problems and right on schedule. I also candled the duck eggs my Easter Egger is sitting on and 2 are infertile and 1 is developing quite nicely. Looks like it should hatch next week.

    INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

    Hatched out 10 out of 16 shipped BCM. This is my second hatch this year. Also have 6 Pekin Ducks in the bator now due to hatch 3/18. Then putting in some leghorns after that. I also have a broody RIR that has set up her best in the Ducks house. Hatching is addicting.

    INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

    This information was so helpful! I had 17 eggs in lock down and started getting pips on day 21. During this time we had a power failure, I had one that had zipped but stopped and 7 hatched, 3 were not progressing at all. I hesitated to help it the one that zipped and it ended up passing. Some...

    Chicken math

    It's so hard to resist those little puffs! I'm at 20 now and every time I go to buy feed they have a different breed. I've been able to resist for the last 3 weeks but it's getting quite difficult.

    Pullet or cockerel?

    I purchased a few different breeds of chicks in March. This one was supposed to be an Americauna. Not sure if it's a pullet or a cockerel but I just love the coloring!

I was very lucky to receive a...

    Chicken math

    The chicken math strikes again! I ordered 8 Buff Orfingtons from my local feed store and 1 didnt make it. I cant have an odd number so I bought 4 americaunas and 3 black anconas. Lost one of the americaunas so of course I had to buy 2 RIR and 3 golden sex links. Then the feed store got in some...

    My blind (or partially blind) duckling

    Thank you! I just love all the forums and advice. I'm learning so much about how to care for my chickens and ducks and love hearing about some of the antics. I'm also so impressed that everyone is so supportive instead of bashing the other persons opinion. Great job everyone!

    My blind (or partially blind) duckling

    I have a partially blind duck and he seems to be doing quite well, however he is not allowed to free range with his siblings. He fusses a bit when they get to run around but he gets extra veggies and meal worms to make up for it.
