I ordered eggs from Papa's Poulty to hatch at my daughter's school. He has the pens divided and marks the eggs so you know what lines they're from. He sent plenty of extras. Our hatch rate wasn't great but the incubator was in the classroom. I think we only had 1-2 without any development...
Is there anyone in the Los Angeles area who wants one or more of my cockerels from onceinabluemoonfarmstead for free? I have two splash from the wheaten/bluewheaten/splash Ameraucanas and possibly one white Amerauacana. I'm in the San Fernando Valley.

Does she have pasty butt? If so wash her gently in warm water. Try dipping beak in the water. I would separate her if they're all in one brooder. I had a shipped chick who looked dead upon arrival but I separated and nursed back. She perked up and looked better so I put her back with the...
if you look on Craigslist there's a lady in Altadena who sells a backyard mix of hatching eggs for $1 each. Our school had great hatch rates from her eggs--much better than shipped eggs from breeders and hatcheries.
. Can you wash legs gently with warm water and the dust legs and coop and nests with DE? My hen's legs looked okay but I noticed little bugs on the wooden eggs in her nest. I dusted her and the coop with DE and all bugs were gone within a day or so.
Fixed up my little coop and hope to change my big coop's run to a walk in. They need more shade in the big run and I want to set up the nipple waterers and feeder in the run.
Thanks! My #2 chick looks a lot like your female chick above. She has a blurry whitish dot, but her down is very brown and it's dark down her back. My #5 chick though has a pretty distinct white spot and has a lot pattern over ?his back but the center stripe is cream not brownish. #5's...
