Hello all. A weird week for the chickens.... Had 1 day where a little puller go into the coop a poke holes in ALL the eggs! Luckily never happened again... Then another day I heard crowing coming from the hen house and all my Roos were outside. So after about 20 minutes of sitting in there I...

Just wanted to update this. The morning after asking on whether or not there was still a chance we had a massive power outage that lasted through the afternoon. Needless to say I gave up any remaining hope for the 6 eggs. It took much creativity just to keep my hatchling chick warm! I have 3...

Thank you, bantams are new to me and the breed varieties seemed to be endless... Appreciate the help.

This is my other bird I have in question. I know it is a Sultan about 15 weeks, but still don't know the gender as this is a new breed for me and it's not like any of my other birds. The red just started coming in the comb and wattles within the last week or so. ANY thoughts on pullet or roo?

A bantam breed approximately 14 weeks old. Assumed and satisfied it's a pullet but still don't know the breed. I've been told it looks like lots of breeds but mist common suggestions were Japanese or Wyandotte but I just don't know. Any thoughts? Sorry about no great pics, it's a super fast...

@uzisuzuki sorry about the job, but you move forward and look to the future, and maybe that future holds raising peahens!! @lomine congrats on the new place, looks like a great start for the animals at the very least... @Mtn Margie I hope all went as it should with the shearing, I'm sure with...

NO LONGER AVAILABLE HE WAS REHOMED.

Before I post this little guy on another local site I wanted to check and see if your mom had made a decision? @PeepersMama

Definitely lots of reasons why they may not be and sometimes chickens just need someone to show them what to do. If they are young sometimes that just want the comfort of laying together in a pile and not side by side. Some of my older birds are just stubborn so after me placing them on the...

Out of curiosity I'm wondering what everyone does with eggs that never hatch? I had 6 that developed but never pipped. My daughter said we should throw them out, but I was thinking maybe of burying them in the garden for fertilizer. Anyone have any thoughts on this or other suggestions?

Seabrights are a breed I've never had so it's very possible, when I asked others what breed they thought he was most suggested EE so I went with it. Just let me know what she says, good luck! Denise

During chick days at my local Tractor Supply I adopted any chicks that started to "fly" out of the stock tanks which this little guy was doing at 3 weeks. He was in a assorted bantam tank. I have only 3 other bantams, which he does spend time with and they roost together at night, but he will...

Thought you might enjoy a "baby" pic as well.

Here you go Peepers.

My little guy never comes out of the hen house. And is out numbered 30 to 1 with no friends. If your interested I'd be happy to send pics. I'm located between the Springs and Castle Rock.

Thanks Margie. Sadly no pipping today so we are at somewhere between 36 - 48 hours since the 3rd egg hatched so I think it's safe to say 3 out of 9 is what the final count will be..... Something I'm curious about and would like input from any of you willing to give it. Is there such a thing...

As over looked over posts I realized that even though I knew hatching my eggs I would be creating "mutt" chickens I learned that by having specific breeds certain things would be a given. So I would like to know what if anything I can expect from my chicks. Of 6 eggs, 3 hatched and all 3 chicks...

Thank you for the advice. I will not get my hopes up as its day 23 and no pips but I need to give them a fighting chance!!

Hello everyone, I just incubated some of my chickens eggs for the 1st time in my daughters classroom. Of 9 eggs 3 pipped and hatched in the last 36 hours. The 3 moved the other eggs all over the incubator. Today due to weather I forced to take the incubator with the remaining eggs home. The...
