I was wondering how this has worked out. Did Your lasies find a new gentleman caller and if so what breed.
Maybe you could post some pics of the happy group of chickens.
I have raised both Beagles and Chickens for over thirty years and i have NEVER had one to chase chickens.(cats and Squirrels yes but not chickens).
They also are great protector of kids as they are not afraid of anything no matter how much bigger their foe is.All hounds process the same...

I have a question i hope that i can get a reply to.Yesterday i had 6 hatch today so far i have had 1. today
How many days does a hatch cover? Today is day 21 so how many more days should i wait til i throw the other eggs in the trash?
Thank You for the reply. I used the egg carton method and found that it worked great. I have removed the 5 chicks and placed under a brooder light. They have already drank water and i cutup a old boiled egg and placed it in the box and they have already eaten so i feel good about their survuval.
I set 12 eggs and already have two chicks. Theis is only day 20 and already chick GREAT. This is my second try at hatching eggs and i didnot get any the first time.I have a LG forced air and my DW saw that the temp was down to 98 so she turned it up to 130 degree and killed all of the eggs. I...

For over forty years i have used the wring the: neck method which i learned from my parents. It is the most humane way to harvest birds . It is a fast and easy way after you learn the method. I use a AX when i harvest any of my old stock because they are tougher.
Since you also raise RJF i have some questions to ask you. I have not had any eggs laid yet and i remember reading that they lay all at one time. Have you had any experience with them laying any other time?
Does the rooster ever crow? I have notice that the rooster is a different color than the...
