Follow-up... I hatched my own chicks and want to put them in the same brooder as the chicks I received from a breeder/hatchery. Is biosecurity going to be an issue?

Is it wise to mix newly hatched chicks with chicks i received from a hatchery that are 1 week old now?

Ohhh that is what I was thinking...i will cross back to a legbar next....

So you dont think a dark olive hen crossed with a Splash Copper Marans will yield a chick that will lay brown? That would be great if the offspring will lay green or blue!!

Thank you very much I actually was sold when you said you know darn well that hen waiting 3 hours to turn the egg....

hello...I just got my new Brinsea and the default turner time is set at 45 minutes...I can move it to 3 hours. 45 minutes seems way to quick compared to my other turners? Anyone thoughts, experiences? Thanks

And they say their eggs are as dark....

i have a standard rooster that mates with my Bantam hens....we had a girl go broody so we set some of the eggs and sure enough they are fertile. Has anyone done these crosses? What have been your results?

Yes that is it....I used it a few years back on my log home to reduce houseflies and it worked great.....that was BC (yep Before Chickens)

After weeks and weeks of battling what I thought was mites I discovered it was Lice.....now I did full coop deep c Earning along with Permethrin spray....they Permethrin bath for all 46 birds!! Not fun....but fantastic results as I have seen no living lice this am just loads of eggs....now I am...
