    I didn't know that we set eggs on the same day. I heard peeps this morning, but I'm stuck at work for 12 hrs so I just have to hope that all goes well.

    Hatchaholics Unite!

    Hatchaholics seem to be the right group of people to help me with my question. I have eggs in my brinsea mini advance. I have done 2 hatches in it before this one and I determined that the temp on it was about a degree low, the first batch set at 99.5 hatched on day 23 and the second hatch...

    Lethargic hen, won't stand, eat or drink

    It doesn't feel bloated, but it is tender. She tried to get away when I felt it. She's standing instead of laying down now too.

    Lethargic hen, won't stand, eat or drink

    This morning I went out to check my chickens and one of my hens was laying down in the middle of the yard which is unusual for her. She is an Easter Egger and 1 year old this month. I've had her all of her life. She is normally active and will move away from me when I walk towards her. When...

    7 week old buff orpington gender?

    I hatched them from eggs. I knew the 2 in front were roos, I was hoping to get at least 50/50 girls and boys. Oh well, it just means that I get to hatch more to get up to the 8 hens that I want

    7 week old buff orpington gender?

    Is this a roo or a pullet? I thought pullet, but now I'm not so sure. This pic was from about 2 weeks ago. This one was last week. This is from this week, she's 7 weeks old here. Her (his?) comb and wattles have really grown over the last 2 weeks.

    My mealworm population has become more beetles than worms. I don't want to feed the beetles to the chickens cuz I want more worms, but I'm curious if they would eat them cuz they are so gross to look at! I hate the cocoon or whatever you want to call that thing in the first picture, that...

    I have not failed yet, but I'm close.... I'm going on vacation in a few weeks and I already have some buff orpington eggs reserved for the week I get back..... I'm hoping that they live up to their reputation of going broody and will hatch more eggs for me in the future... All I need is a...

    That looks nice, how many chickens will it hold? My coop has 4 walls framed so far.

    I have a regulation here for how many chickens I'm allowed to have.... 3! That is all!!!! I would be so happy if it were even 5. But my neighbors don't complain, and this year I will for sure have enough eggs to share. Last year I had just 2 pullets starting to lay so I didn't really get...

    Spring 2017 first timers post!

    I saw that no one responded to this. I don't have any advice really, just my experience. I got my first chicks last year from a local breeder, they were a week old. I didn't give them fermented feed right away, I think I didn't ferment their feed until they were around 2 months old and they...

    Did your silkie turn up? My baby didn't, but my reinforcements to their cage have worked and kept everyone else safe and secure. When I saw the pic of your first one on this post I thought maybe I posted a pic of mine and then forgot! Yours are so cute, I love your frizzles, I didn't end up...

    Spring 2017 first timers post!

    I hatched 2 Swedish flowers from eggs that I got from this site. One is for sure a rooster but I'm still not sure on the other one. This is nutmeg as a chick and 5 weeks old. This is Daisy the roo Daisy is in front and nutmeg is to the right. My buff Orpington is behind them, she is...

    Hatchaholics Unite!

    I'm hoping that since my roo is a swedish flower that I will get some interest in him. There are people around here who keep chickens and I had a lady interested in the roo that I had last year. I am heartbroken today because I lost a chick! I had 8 babies that are about a week and a half...

    Those are great numbers! My first batch only had 4 chicks and I know 1 of them is a roo and I suspect another one is too. I don't have homes for them yet, they are only 5 weeks old.

    Just remember, every time you set eggs you have a chance of hatching all roos! Their little fluff butts are cute until they start crowing.
