    First time hatching and I've already made a mistake!

    Day one and I've already made a mistake!!!! I split 16 eggs between 2 broodies last night. This afternoon one of the girls was in the run off the eggs I have no idea for how long. She has been broody for a little over a week. She was eating so I didn't worry. About 10 minutes later I noticed...

    Bloody hen, please offer some advise

    I recently introduced a 6 month old rooster to my flock of 14 hens/pullets ranging from 6-10 months. They are all laying except a couple of the younger pullets. My 10 month old barred rock now looks like a naked neck. I guess she is being over mated. Today I noticed a bloody egg. It looked like...

    Breeding pen question

    I have a flock of 14 hens and one roo. Right now the rooster is separate. I want to hatch eggs from 4 specific hens. I'm not sure which eggs belong to those hens. My question is can I put the four hens with the roo until I gather enough eggs? It would be a 4:1 hen rooster ratio temporarily. Is...

    Is she thinking about going broody?

    I have a hen born in May 2015. She was supposed to be a jersey giant from a feed store, but she looks like a mixed black chicken. She is always in the best box when I go collect eggs. She usually jumps right off. The past couple of weeks the temp got down to 20's and stayed really cold. I...

    What would she produce if I bred her?

    I have this Easter Egger that I love. I think she is so pretty. I have blue and a black purebred Ameraucana roosters. What would the off spring look like with either the black or the blue? If I may get some that look like her I'd breed her, if not I'll just hatch the purebreds.

    Am I doing the right thing?

    I have recently added a coop extension. I extended my run and put a second coop on the other end. I can have one large run with a coop on each end or close it off and have 2 separate runs and coops. The extension will serve as a grow out pen or breeding pen ect. I purchased 12 new chicks last...

    What breed?

    She was sold to me as a black sex link from a feed store. She has always been solid black. She is 22 or 23 weeks old and was the first to develop red comb and wattles. She has not started to lay. Her barred rock sister and white leghorn sister developed red later and have been laying daily for a...

    I got my first egg! She laid while I was down there!!

    We put ceramic eggs out last night. I went to the coop about 11. No eggs, but while I was down there my barred rock and white leghorn went into the boxes. When they came out the barred rock left an egg!!! They are 21 weeks. We have 8 egg layers 19-21 weeks, different breeds. Is it unusual for...

    Post to buy sell trade

    I would like to post an ad to try to sell some extra ameraucana's. I have >30 posts. I am trying from an iPhone, but I have no problem with posting to other forums. When I try to "start a thread" there is no option. I posted a free rooster ad sometime ago. I remember seeing only one ad at a...

    New coop, already expanding. Need suggestions!

    Here is my coop! It's 24 feet by 8 feet total. I am in Georgia and do not shut the hutch door at night. I consider it more of an open air coop. It has hardware cloth buried under the entire thing. The hutch is 4x8. I am having an additional 8 feet added to the back with a second elevated hutch...

    Is this ok for one more week?

    I recently picked up a few more chicks. I was expecting newly hatched, but I ended up with 6 week olds. My coop extension will not be ready for one more week. Will this set up be ok for one more week? They are now eight weeks old.

    Help me be realistic!! Should I keep him?

    I am new to chickens this year. We ended up with 6 Roos and culled all but two. We just bought a straight run of purebred Ameraucanas and some CCL's (2-6 weeks old). We should end up with more 5-7 Roos. We also may get a few black copper Marans as a straight run. I am only really set up to keep...

    Which is which?

    I got 5 mixed pullets from a feed store earlier this year. I could tell them apart until I went on vacation. I supposedly got a black sex link and a jersey giant. Can anyone help me tell them apart? They around 18-20 weeks old.? I'm assuming the one with the red comb is getting ready to lay. Her...
