I'll try to get a picture up soon, but I would say my chick is a little lighter than that one, but not much.

I got same BCM eggs from a friend and ended up with one lovely chocolate chick. Both parents are supposed to be pure BCM. She also got one chocolate chick so far this spring, from the same pairing, so we are hoping we have opposite gender chicks (still too young to tell), or that she gets more...

Sent you a PM.

I won an auction and am not sure how to post feedback. I had shipment of eggs delayed after winning so that I would have incubator space, so the listing is gone. Things went well, so I would like to post positive feedback. Help!

I just got my eggs from a recent auction, and the amount sent was very generous. Packed perfectly, all arrived intact. Can't wait for the chicks!

Ok, so with the sale and coupon, add the Brinsea Eco and turner to the list. Advantages to this as compared to the Hovabator? I see the capacity is less but I think still adequate for us. Looks like the fan is built in, would I need to get a humidity monitor for this?

Quote: Where did you buy it at this price, and how do you get a coupon code?

We have had chickens for several years now, but have always bought hatchlings. We are planning to try our hands with hatching eggs this year and need to buy an incubator. I have found two setups that I think will work for us and would like some opinions. Both have more than enough capacity...

I'll get a pic of mine the next time I get home before dark. His red/orange markings almost look deliberately painted on. Very evenly spaced colored feathers among the black, and I just love the way they transition from one shade of orange to the next, like a sunset. I think he is our...

OK, cool. I think he's quite lovely, actually, much prettier than the other one who is pure black. We call him Cabo. As in sunrise (his coloring) -> tequila sunrise -> tequila -> Cabo Wabo Tequila -> Cabo. I don't breed or show so I don't much care if he's "correct".

I have a lovely rooster (will post pic tomorrow) and I'm not sure what to call his color. He was purchased from San Hill Preservation as a "Blue Cochin". I understand you will get 25% splash, 25% black, and 50% blues when you order these. But he is none of the above. He is mostly black (that...

Do you get the teramycin at the vet? Feed store? Need a prescription??? Thanks!

One of our hens, a Light Brahma, currently has one runny, puffy eye, and the surrounding facial tissues are puffy. There is some frothy discharge from the corner of the eye. Smells a bit but not terrible. The other eye is normal. No nasal drainage, no other symptoms at all. She's eating...

The shell-less egg was only moderately freaky - I have read enough here to expect getting one occasionally. What freaked me out was her DUMPING THE DARN THING IN MY LAP!!! It's like she was saying "OK, ma, I have this egg and something is wrong with it - YOU take care of it!"

Yea, some welcome home, huh? We "cracked" it (just pinched it and pulled) and it looked like a normal egg inside. Hopefully this is an isolated event. Why in the world did she put the nasty thing in my lap? No warning, just sat there for a minute then PLOP and off she hops. No noise, no...

I was out of town the last 4 days (DH taking care of the animals) and got home this evening and went in to see my hens. Fed the girls some treats (mealworms) and picked up one of Buff Orp hens (they are lap-chickens). I feel this plop, look down, thinking she pooped on me, and find a...

OK, here are a few pics.

We have a mixed flock of EEs, Delawares, Polish, Buff Orps and Buff Brahmas (Brahmas not laying yet), all about 23 weeks of age. This week we have had a run on double yolk eggs, with 4 in the last 4 days, from different hens. Is this likely to be just young hens who's reproductive systems are...

My Polish hens are the same way, but I think it's a hairdo problem. I put a mealworm in my palm and they peck my palm about 5 times before they find the bug. I startled one once in the coop and she took off running and slammed right into the wall. And when they go outside (into a fenced...

I'll try to get some up in the next day or two, thanks!
