I recently received chicks from Ideal that I decided to go ahead and vaccinate for Marek's disease. I was not thinking about my existing flock and I was wondering if it is safe to combine the two. What are your experiences?

Has anyone ordered NN from Ideal and if you have, do you get colored eggs from them? That's what they post on their site and mine have not started to lay yet. I was wondering if anyone out there is getting tinted eggs from their NN????

After 7 months of waiting, I was thrilled to find my FIRST tinted egg! Why is it that such a small thing can derive so much pleasure??? Only my fellow chicken lover's out there will understand such a treasure. Just had to share...

My ducks have just begun to lay and I found one of the eggs on the edge of the bank, partially in water. It had only been there for a couple of hours at most. Does this damage the egg to where it will not hatch???

I'm considering the Welsummer as a roo for my hens. Anyone have any pictures of mature or chick crosses I could see?

Okay...so I started this chicken adventure with no intentions of ever having a rooster in my flock. I only wanted a few eggs for the table. That turned into 16 various chickens free-ranging on our 13 acres and 4 ducks on our pond. The number of chickens has reduced to 12 due to predation...

All these posts have me curious what all is involved in trying to incubate eggs. Is it expensive to get started?

I have 2 female Khaki Campbells and a male and female Roen. They are 14 weeks old. They are growing very nicely and appear to be happy and healthy but they rarely eat any feed I give them. I only put out 4 cups of feed (1 cup each) because I got tired of wasting it when they never ate it...
