    The chick that got thrown away

    Hatching eggs can certainly teach us about struggling for life. I had 28 of 29 eggs hatch on day 21. Egg 29 was pipped but not making progress. I decided to give it day 22 to hatch. I left home for a few hours and came back to an unhatched chick, with no further progress on the pipped area. I...

    Gold laced Wyandotte over Easter Egger

    Has anyone done this and what color of eggs? light green? (EE's all lay blue eggs and I am fairly certain are Auracana x Ameraucana as some previous chicks are tailless)

    Kinda chicken related, but not really

    I found a huge red wiggler worm the other day. This is what happened when I took it to the chicken coop.

    Chick blinded in one eye

    This little one was pecked in the eye by a 'littermate'. I discovered the injury when he was about 3 days old, mainly because he was off by himself and acting stressed. I gave him a big drink of water, very thirsty chick, and tried to make sense of the eye injury. I separated him for a couple...

    Matticoopx Incubator

    I wanted to share my review of the Matticoopx Incubator here, because I know there are folks out there looking for a moderately priced incubator. At $125, this incubator is affordable, at least to give a try. I have had the 'big name' incubator, and also lower end incubators...

    Update on a previous chick sexing post using wing development

    Three weeks ago I posted photos of the wings of wyandotte chicks.... I guessed two pullets and 4 cockerels, based on the huge difference in feather growth. I put a leg band on one of the pullets to keep track of her. Today I took photos of each. 5 gold laced and one 'mismatch' silver laced...

    Adding some greens, although unintentionally

    Put a good amount of hay in the chicken coop a few weeks ago. The scratch I have been throwing in there has been converted to greens for them 😂 pulled the hay back and voila!

    two questions! sex and color

    A couple years ago I read (in multiple places) that when chicks are about 5 days old you can determine sex by wing structure... So, here are 6, 5 day old Wyandottes. I predict the first two are pullets (more developed flight feathers) and the last 4 are cockerels -- anyone have exp with this...

    'frillback pigeon' question

    About a month ago I picked up some pigeons off CL to use for training my bird dogs. 5 are white and 2 are white/splash colored...I have noticed one of the white ones has some feathers 'poking' out along his wings/back.... which makes me think frillback, of course... My question is, if a pigeon...

    Trouble with hatching specific breeds (chickens)

    I have a brinsea incubator which has functioned perfectly for several 'hatches'. I have had chukar, duck, and chicken eggs mailed to me - all took about 5-6 days in transit. First was 75 chukar, which I got 60% hatch rate, then 12 duck eggs, also 60% hatch rate... Then 3 different 'batches' of...

    Introduction and hello

    Hi all, It has been a while since I had birds - now have 8 chickens (4 roo's and 4 hens, pretty sure). They are about 3.5 months old now. Started with 10 (that we hatched in an incubator) - just farmyard chickens from local eggs to get a handle on inubating eggs (it is a brinsea, so pretty...
