    Candling Light Recommendations

    I've seen some things about people using only LED flashlights because they don't put off too much heat, is this necessary?

    Candling Light Recommendations

    Someone with knowledge please comment on this!! I am also in the same exact situation! I have a bunch of quail eggs in the mail on their way to me and I'm going to be using a Hova-Bator to incubate for the first time ever.

    Horror Story of the Day

    3am Monday morning, and the burn happened around 1pm Friday afternoon. She's healing nicely, and we have dubbed her "Scorch." The brown stuff on her head is the anti cannibalism lotion, seems to be working so far!! She's still eating and drinking and running around with the other chicks like a...

    I've put antibacterial cream on it about four times now, I think she'll be all right. If not then I'm planning on getting some antibiotics that I can put in her water for her.

    Horror Story of the Day

    That's what it looked like about two hours after it happened. She got burned and then the other chicks decided that attacking her was a splendid idea (freaky little cannibals!!) I got some of that anti cannibalism lotion this morning and put it on top of her head, not touching where she was...

    Egg production

    When I had Australorps I found that they weren't heavy layers, early or late in life (some are still laying after 8 years with the lady I gave my last flock to when I had to move, but only like 2x per week, and they were only laying 3-4x per week when they were in their prime). They also never...

    Will these eggs even hatch?

    I once had a broody hen that we got some eggs from a friend for. They just walked around and were like "yeah, this one might be fertile, idk, I guess we will find out" when they were giving me eggs (they had about 4 roosters and 30 hens) and we didn't know how long the eggs had been out in 100+F...

    Horror Story of the Day

    This morning my sister and I are chit-chatting about nothing important, her in her hall bathroom and I'm in the hall. All of a sudden we hear a pop and the hall and bathroom lights flicker and my chicks make a loud noise from in my bedroom where I'm brooding them (hall and bathroom share a wall...

    New member on BYC!!

    Oh, and I'm in Northern California. When I was raising hens before we had a ton of different breeds, but I noticed that our buffs and golds always did the best during our chilly winters (not super cold, lows can get to 20F), and that they still lay a decent amount even when it's cold. They also...

    I have 8 two week old Goldens and I just got 5 one day old buffs Thursday morning!! A little background on my "backyard" raising experience.... When I was living with my parents my sister and I raised a flock of laying hens through middle school and highschool. We also did 24-36 meat birds...
