Hello! I need a little help. I've four eggs in the incubator. 21 days was today, about 6 hours ago. Two pipped overnight and two were still just internally pipped. I candled one and made it a little pip. I candled the other, which had a gigantic saddle-shaped air sac and made a guess at...

This pullet is listless and seems weak. She won't really walk. I stood her up and she hobbled a couple steps and plopped back down. Not interested in food or water. I put some watermelon in front of her and she wouldn't touch it. Whatever it is, I lost a 22-week-old rooster to it also, a...

I hope he is quiet, want to keep him but live in the city. ;)

At what age did your bielefelder rooster begin to crow? I have a 20-week-old who, as far as I know, anyway, has still not crowed. Or, hopefully, he has crowed, but is not obnoxious about it. :) Also, around what age do roos begin to try to mate?

Looks like a girl to me too. I hatched one roo; he didn't look like that.

What do you have for Bielefelders? Any to spare? I had some in the incubator to hatch this past weekend, but only one roo hatched.

Is this Bielefelders you're talking about?

Pretty good hatch, for my first time! I set six lavender orpington eggs. Pulled one before lockdown. The rest hatched and are looking good! Here are the first two.

Hmm, I have 11 Bielefelder eggs in the incubator on day 9 today. I hope I at least get a few to hatch! They're shipped eggs too...

Yay! What're you hatching?

Are they really loud? I'm getting two Anconas on Thursday...

Thanks! I have 6 Lavender Orpingtons due Sunday. The following Sunday I have Bielefelders, Buckeyes and Wyandottes.

How do I join the Hatch-A-Long? I have babes due the 27th. :D

Great job! Any plan to keep the shavings inside? I have a metal dog crate I will use and have used before, but the shavings spill out the side of it as well.

Wow, cannot believe the size difference! Okay, I'll set up an area for the newbies. How long would you keep them separate?

Got some new chickies this weekend! We got two australorp, two buff orpingtons, and two speckled sussex. I also have several in the incubator due to hatch this coming weekend. Question: these new ones will be maybe a week and a half younger than the ones I just got. Can I put them together...

How do you cull roosters, anyway? I wouldn't want to do it myself, so do you find a local butcher, in that case? How much would they charge?

41 also! (42 in May) Hello all, just joining this group! Live in Spokane. I had chickens last summer for the first time since I was a kid, but sold them when I listed the house for sale. I'll be in the new house here in a few days and going to be hatching some chicks within the month!

Is Papa Brooder the same as Papa's Poultry? Just ordered some Bielefelder hatching eggs from them, sooo excited! Hello from Spokane! :D

oops, I don't know how to delete this.
