    Hatching shipped Jersey Giants

    Hi there, In the post this morning I received my 6 Jersey Giant eggs. I'm using a Brinscall mini advance incubator (but it's an old ish one not one of the new ones) I'm going to let the eggs sit until I get home from work tomorrow at about four pm. Is there anything I need to check on the eggs...

    I will see if I can get some better ones tomorrow, I've only got a full body pic of when it was younger. I bought them from an auction in Suffolk

    What breed is my chick

    Hi there. A couple of weeks ago I bought a mixed bunch of chicks. This one is about three weeks old and I was just wondering what breed it could be?

    What breed is my white/blonde hen?

    Luckily she has been kept seperate from the main coop and other chickens. I will definitely keep an eye on the rest of them just incase though!

    What breed is my white/blonde hen?

    That's a big incentive to get It done then! How long will she need to be bathed for? Will one session help her to get rid of them or may she need it done several times? Would I be able to wrap her up in a towel to keep her calm? Will the Vaseline need to be applied more than once?

    What breed is my white/blonde hen?

    I take it these mites are contagious? Would the chicks be at risk of getting them? Fortunately she is not with the main flock!

    I'll give it a go but I don't think she will let me.

    What breed is my white/blonde hen?

    There are so many different looking chicks would it be possible for her to produce such different looking birds?

    What breed is my white/blonde hen?

    Smaller fencing is another project for this weekend. I went to an auction with the intention of buying adult birds so I was not prepared for chicks, which meant a drive to the pet shop when I got back.

    What breed is my white/blonde hen?

    Her legs do look terrible I noticed today but I only just bought her. What can I do to help her legs? She's not too keen on me going near her yet but I am building up her trust? Do you think she's in any pain? I don't really know anything but chicken diseases or prevention but I don't want them...

    What breed is my white/blonde hen?

    She is mothering the chicks. She's a great mum. The chicks were sold to me as copper black marans and pekins but some of them have bobbles on their head. I'm no expert but even I can work out that there are at least three different breeds there. What do you think this one in the photo could be?

    What breed is my white/blonde hen?

    Hi there, Last week I bought a white/blonde hen. She's a little smaller than a Rhode Island Red but much bigger than a bantam. Also I've got a couple of chicks I'd like to know the breed of. I bought them with the hen but I think they're about a week and a half old. Any help is greatly...

    Introducing a bought hen and chicks to a cockrel

    I have three bantams, two Rhode Island reds (one is a male and one us a female) and a white hen who is just a little bit smaller than the Rhode Island Red but not much. The white hen is the one with the chicks. No one is in a cage. The white hen with her chicks sleep in a rabbit hutch at night...

    Introducing a bought hen and chicks to a cockrel

    Hi there, Last week I bought 4 hens and 11 chicks at auction. I've had the coop and run sepereated so that they can all see each other but they can't get to each other yet. I bought four pekin bantams, and an unknown breed of hen and her 11 chicks. The hen and her chicks have been living...
