Thanks everyone! I'm happy to know for sure and glad my husband thought of me when he saw them and brought home 10. Can't beat .99 each lol

Not new to chickens, however new to bantams. These were unlabeled and on clearance and I am guessing seabrights? I really would like to know for sure. All but one or 2 look the same, heavy gold lacing (some are more edged in black, some have more gold) the other 2 are more of a speckled look...

At what point would the humidity be considered too high?

I would definitely prefer to have more live and the breeder has a mix as far s tufted and non, so I am hoping that would give me a decent hatch rate. I am a week and a half out from having an empty incubator, so will try to update then! He's about an hour and a half away so I will just make the...

I have the opportunity to get a few dozen hatching eggs, but honestly was shying away from it due to worry about the lethal gene. I have read 23 pages in and feel a bit better about it, but would love to get opinions. Is it worth is, to get the breed, even though you could have high losses...

So glad I found this thread. I have the opportunity to get a few dozen hatching eggs, but feel so conflicted due to the hatch rate being so bad. Those that hatch out, what have your odds been and do you feel it's worth it?

So we have an ISA brown that began laying over 2 weeks ago. In her first week, she laid a huge egg, that I figured would be a double yolker. We recorded the cracking and it was just that. So yesterday when we see the ISA Brown laid yet another giant egg, I assumed the same. This morning I...

I ban you for being picky ;)

Thanks so much! Yes, their diets are excellent and they get nice free range time in almost daily. :)

You'd think lol The Welsummers are only 3 months old and are in their own section of the coop, so def. not them ;) Ok thank you! I will be sure to pick up some this weekend and have it out for that group. I appreciate all your help!

I have not been, as I was told not to offer it until they actually start laying. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? lol

We caught the ISA brown in the act around 10:30 this morning, so she is def one of the layers. This one was also speckled in regards to the bloom. We weighed this one at it came in at 61g which surprised me. It was 3 grams heavier then the store bought ones I have in the fridge, but just...

Ok thanks so much! . They have always been on a Non GMO Feed from a local company. They get veggies like carrots and cabbage and such as well as kitchen scraps or suitable leftovers.

Our group of 5 months old are slowly becoming Non freeloaders. Tonight we were surprised with two eggs in the nesting box. Yesterday I noticed two of the 18 were singing the egg song, so was crossing my fingers I was not off in that regard. The two singing were 1 JG and 1 ISA Brown. One egg...

Crossing my fingers with him. Out of the three, he has the nicest color, but also is the first to lay on your leg, or explore a little farther then the rest. While all the other chicks are with each other, he seems to want to be apart from them, closer w the human family, and will nap right next...

I don't think mine overly likes them but he is good to them,. However, he spends his weekends helping me put windows in the coop, jokes about having to get another job due to all my animal interests lol etc. Usually anything that makes me happy, he says makes him happy. His biggest complaint...

Thanks so much everyone! I appreciate it :) He is a sweetie.

So we have, per the hatchery, three Rhode island red cockerels. One, Tormund, looks just a bit different. His feathers are much more mahogany where as the other two are red orange and the main thing I am noticing is his legs are white/pink while the others are yellow. Is there a breed that looks...

I ban you for questioning why I am reading your signature ;)

Figured it was time for an update on all the family farm happenings ;) A bucket of chickens! Today was look over day, so we brought all the younger ones inside to give them a look over. The "Chicks for Warmth" I mentioned above turned out to be RIR, one of which I will be keeping as a...
