Where are yours coming from? How many and what kind did you order??
We're expecting ours this week. We ordered Blue Laced Red Wyandottes, White Laced Red Cornish, Barred Rock, & Road Island Red From Murray McMurray. Sixty chicks all together.
I have 4 incubators now that I rotate hatch and lockdown. I am wanting to get a bigger incubator but don't want to spend crazy money. Any ideas on where to get a reliable cabinet incubator that won't break the bank?
I couldn't believe it. I'm working on getting some "blue" orps and my eggs in lock down are starting to hatch....After a while there are so many shells in there I decide to get out the shells to give the little ones running around some room since there are still eggs with pips in there...So...
Hi. I was just wondering how long you guys wait from the time your hens first start laying eggs until you try and incubate some. I know they are fertile, but they aren't laying full size eggs yet. Will they hatch???
Oh my Gosh! I am SOOO excited!!! It's the start of day five (almost lol) and I see swimming in four of my eggs. I'm so happy!! I was worried cause I'm new to this and everything and wasn't quite sure what I was seeing. When I candled the eggs yesterday I saw half dark half light and was...
I really want some lavender orpingtons!!! If anyone can help me find some eggs or chicks I would appreciate it SOOOO much! Feel free to pm me with any questions. I've seen people with "project" lavender/blue eggs or chicks, but I really want lavender. Thanks so much for any help you can...
I thought it would be fun to keep you all updated on our progress as we go. We started out last year with our first set of chickens (ten production reds) that my son got for his tenth birthday from my mother-in-law. We had never had chickens before so it was a whole new experience for us. A...
Our buff orp roo has some frost bite on his comb and waddles, you can see some of this in this photo. Is there anything we should do? I have checked the tissue and its still warm, just discolored so far. What do we do to help it not get worse, and what if it does, is there something you do to...
Ok we need some input. We have an old coop on our property and since we are outgrowing our current coop, we are planning to clean out gut and redo the old coop. We are debating the pros and cons of having separate pens for each breed or just having all the hens together and building rooster...
I was just wondering if this happened to any of you. We have one little white Easter Egger that everytime we are in the coup, she eyes you up and down and when she gets the chance, she dive bombs us. She tries to jump up on us so she can sit on our shoulders. She can't fly that high since she...
What kinds are you getting? When are they coming? How many are you expecting? You can also say where you ordered them from if you would like, then maybe you can update and say how they are doing when you get them etc.
We are expecting 5 eastereggers, 5 bluelaced red wyandotts, 5, speckled...
I would really like to start hatching eggs at some point, but since I will just be starting out and not quite sure how it will work out with the space we have, and quite honestly my husband might get a little carried away if I don't watch him I just would like some advice on what is a good...
