I'll do my best to give you the short version: I set nine liege fighter eggs from GFF under a broody hen 31 days ago on March 1st, and 3 in an incubator. By day 20 I was down to 9 eggs, all now under the hen. On day 21, 8 healthy chicks hatched. I moved the remaining egg to the incubator on day...

I wasn't going to post, but I couldn't find an answer to my question. I have 5 serama eggs currently pipping under a broody LF hen in my coop. Temps will be in the 50's in my area today, and below freezing at night. I have LF eggs in my incubator that are on day 12. I prefer to take the serama...

Hi, I have a bit of a predicament here. I have two freshly hatched serama chicks with one more egg due any day. The problem is, here in NH we are expecting a blizzard to hit on Friday morning with a high possibility of power outages and I don't have a generator. Most of what I've read about...

So here is what happened. In a pen I have a black silkie rooster, two grey silkies, and a mille fleur cochin bantam. The silkies I bought as a trio from a person who put her colors together indescriminantly. They are pretty average silkies: silkie feathered, crested, two bearded and one not...

I have found dehydration is one of the swiftest killers of poultry. It sets in quickly and is difficult to fix if the bird is too far gone. A few hours in the sun without water can mean death. The best possible solution is to avoid it. I have put together this page in an effort to compile...

She is a Serama hen about a year and a half old. Yesterday I noticed she was a little off, but this morning she declined suddenly. She feels lighter than usual but not emaciated, held her tail down and she is unresponsive for the most part but not as bad as I have seen before. She is slightly...

One of my 11 serama chicks is much smaller than the others. The chicks pictured are approximatly the same age (3 1/2 weeks). All of the little ones are active and healthy, yet this one shows feather development and size typical of a 1 1/2 week old serama. It's back is also extremely short...

I am looking for a cockerel, pair or trio of Milles to help kick off my breeding program. I would prefer to pick up rather than have them shipped to me. Please PM me if you have any available birds. Thanks.

Hi all, this will be my first season doing meat birds. After seeing how big a cornishXrock got and how quickly it grew (I had one that found it's way in with my TSC leghorns somehow), I decided this was the year I needed to start raising a slower growing, pastured breed of bird for my family ( I...

Hey guys, I have a 4-H show on Saturday and I've exhausted all my study guides. Ask me some hard chicken/general poultry questions please, any topic!

I'm taking advantage of having five broodies, so i just set about 20 eggs between them! This hatch i've got: - Wheaten Ameraucana over a BR for sex-linked EE's! -Some 'regular' EE's - EE and some white eggs that are probably tetra tints or leghorns from our local farmstand, just to see if...

Well I've finally done it. Started my serama pens. I set myself the challenge of building funtional, frugal, and hopefully totally free pens and I intended to follow through. Yesterday was my first opportunity to do so. I cleaned the barn and went through everything, throwing out what we could...

I went out to the old bantam's coop a few minute ago and notice my two year old serama hen standing next to the waterer and not moving. i picked her up and she feels a little underweight and her shanks were freezing cold, which is strange because it's very warm here today. her comb is a little...

title says it all :)

Hi everyone and welcome to my art classroom, one of the classrooms in Nixnoodlenumbat's new art school. This is a mini course, lasting only about two weeks. I will not grade every assignment but i will give you honest feedback and give you an overall grade at the end of the class. In this class...

i'm alone in the house sitting at the kitchen table and all of a sudden my dog starts barking. not his 'pay attention to me' bark but his deep, unfriendly "who are you and what are you doing here' bark, but there was nothing there when i went to look. then he went and just lay there looking in...

does anyone have thailand (giachon), madagascar (Malgache), or sapian games from Ideal hatchery? i'm looking to expand my horizons to a trio of rare asiatic games as project birds, but of course i'm leery about getting hatchery birds. do they remotely resemble what their supposed to? i'd love to...

at sixteen weeks my black lab pup knows sit, down, stay, come, wait, he sort of knows leave it, beg, paw (with both paws), high five (both paws), we're working on give it, and i'm teaching him to catch food if i throw it which is more of a coordination thing i guess, but still. i started...
