hi guys! i have a broody bantam hen who has been on the nest for a week now. i believe she got broody when i brought our chicks out to the run and put them in the grow-out pen. they were a week old at the time and she was pacing back and forth around the grow-out pen and the next day she went...
hi everyone! i have owned chickens for years and we are thinking of getting more girls and selling their eggs at the local farmers market in Ohio. we are fairly new in our research of this and i thought i would come here and ask some fellow chicken lovers. what are the laws for selling eggs...
without a doubt, they both have single combs. and i am definately keeping them since the whole point of me hatching them is to carry on another generation of my very much loved and spoiled pets. :) u sure seem to know your stuff!!! and i thank you VERY much!!! you've been a wonderful help!!!
awesome stuff!!! thank you SO VERY MUCH!!! now if i only knew what my other 2 chicks are!! lol. but i know only time will tell with those 2. they are both EE. mom and dad were EEs. but thanks on the other ones!!!
the hen was a silver cuckoo and the roo was a EE. so r u saying that my 2 black chicks with NO head marking are female? the 2 with no head markings have white underbellies.
hi guys! i hatched 5 eggs a few days ago. 3 of them that hatched are a silver cuckoo marans and EE cross. out of those 3 black chicks, one has a white spot on its head. i know that with barred rocks (and possibly cuckoo marans) that if it has a white spot on the head then its a female. what do...
thanks guys! nope....i don't know how to check an egg for fertility. other than cracking it open and seeing a bullseye. is that what you mean? and isn't the bullseye hard to see? i should look up pics on the internet.
hi guys! i have never had a roo before.....but i have 2 very dear pet hens who are 4 years old. i love them so very much that i want to hatch out and keep a pullet from each of them. i have a question or 2......how old does a roo have to be before he can fertilize their eggs? and how long does...
hi guys! i am looking for some local hatching eggs to hatch with my boyfriends twin boys. i would be happy with a barnyard mix. but it would be a plus if i could get some Easter Eggers in the mix too. but it's not necessary. thanks so much! Hillsboro is about an hour away from Cincinnati. i...

i would think you could still eat/refrigerate an egg thats only been sat on for a day. as far as your bator, wow, 4 times with no results? how many eggs did you try to hatch during those 4 tries? i have good success with my Hovabator but it's not a still air. did you add water to the bator for...
what's amazing to me is that a chicken can hatch duck eggs. Lol! i thought duck eggs needed alot more humidity and i just figure the mother duck supplies that during incubation since she's water fowl. go figure huh? i hatched some ducks out of my bator a couple years ago and my GOSH but they are...
