    November 2016 Hatch-a-long!!

    [/IMG] Sorry, posted before I wrote my message. I received hatching eggs today in the mail and I received gross eggs. I've read some use Oxine AR, but don't have any. What can I use that I can buy from local TSC or Fleet Farm etc.

    Tractor Supply Chicks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My local TSC sell half priced chicks on Mondays, before they get a new batch of chicks on Tuesdays. Found out from the manager who I happened to go to high school with. You all might want to call your area to see if they do that too. Granted, there will be slim pickings, but half price.

    Does the store put the chicks in carry box for you to take home or do you have to bring your own carrier/box?

    Late January Hatch?

    I have not candles any of the other eggs yet. I figured I'll let Penny take care of them.. She has been rather protective of the eggs every time I go check under her for the underutilized eggs. Today is day 4.

    Late January Hatch?

    [/IMG]I'm thinking that egg has died. My boys wanted me to name the eggs, so I wrote on the shells. It is snowing and icy tonight. I have been getting an egg or two each day.

    2 year olds getting a new home

    I ended up rehome the 4 EE's. They were way too agressive for my liking for my kids. I also found out their beaks were trimmed really short. I found a local lady who was selling English Black Orpingtons. I bought 3 girls at 14 weeks old. They looks so healthy! I was even told when they...

    How much protein? I give them 16% layer feed mixed with cracked corn, oyster shell, and granite. I also feed them scrap from our (kids) plates, which includes protein.

    Thank you for the welcome! I cleaned out the coop this afternoon. I got an Omlet Eglu. All 4 of the girls were well trained about going into the house when it got dark. I decided to actually put in nest box full of pine shaving and a yellow fake Easter Egg (LOL). As of right now, I only...

    I have had my 4 Americana chickens for about 2 weeks now. I bought them from some one that was thinning out her flock. I was told the girls would be laying within the week, but so far no eggs. I looked up some info and looks like the girls have their own time table. The girls are 2 years...
