    BLACK COPPER MARANS HATCHING EGGS 12+

    That's great! I think we will be wanting to start incubating at the end of February. Could we reserve a dozen eggs for them? Is that possible? This is my first time trying to incubate eggs so I'm not sure how this all works. Thanks for your patience! Kirstin

    A question from a neophyte

    How about DE? I have heard many conflicting things. I would like to prevent mites etc. but don't want to cause harm. What do you think?

    A question from a neophyte

    Hi, I'm new to this chicken wrangling. I am wondering what the recommendations are for putting in the chickens dust bath? I have read lots of contradictory things so I am coming to those with experience! What do you find works or doesn't work. What is safe, not safe? I really appreciate...

    Any idea what these guys are?

    Hi, I know this guy is a rooster but I am curious as to what variety he might be?!? I have included a shot of his legs. Is this what people refer to as green legs? Again, I know he's a rooster but am not sure of anything other than that. These guys are almost nine weeks old. They came...

    Question about feathering

    this might be a silly question but do chicks begin a second "molt" (I don't know if it's a real molt) almost as soon as they have fully feathered out? Do their colors/patterns change? Is this (at 5 1/2 weeks) a juvenile pattern/color? I'm seeing lots of dark feathers from my black rooster in...

    How long do they need the brooder?

    They are fully feathered. Our temps have ranged from the 90's to the 40's and everything in between. Also we have been having tons of rain. Should I be worried about the moisture and very high humidity? I think my guys may already be spoiled
