    When to put incubator-hatched chick with broody-hatched chicks?

    Well, they’ve been together for about 30 minutes now, and the newest chick just tucked itself under Mama and is hanging out under there. I took the chick for a moment to make sure it dipped its beak in the water bowl, and Mama was definitely on alert and walking towards me.

    When to put incubator-hatched chick with broody-hatched chicks?

    My very first broody hatched 5 eggs between Monday and Tuesday. Yesterday, we removed a couple unhatched eggs after a water container spilled in the nesting box, soaking them. I put them in the incubator and one hatched during the night. I’d like to try to put it with the hen mother, but do I...

    Gender guesses? 1 month old bantam EE

    Can anyone tell gender yet or is it too young? This sweet little one is from our very first hatch and is my first time having bantam EE. It is a month old on Monday. The father is a multicolored rooster and the hens are all black with the exception of one black with silver collar. The rest of...

    Is there a dual purpose chicken that lays blue eggs? New to chickens and deciding how to build flock.

    Thank you so much for that reply! It is incredibly helpful! I will refer to it many times, I’m sure, as I’m figuring out exactly what I want. I love your speckled chickens! What did you start with for those? They look great, and I appreciate the time and effort you spent in developing them. I...

    Is there a dual purpose chicken that lays blue eggs? New to chickens and deciding how to build flock.

    That is what my own research was showing me, too. I may end up with my blue egg layers being just for fun eggs and choosing a brown/white egg layer for my primary flock.

    Is there a dual purpose chicken that lays blue eggs? New to chickens and deciding how to build flock.

    I have a wide variety of chickens right now (all about 2 months old) from a "surprise box" from a hatchery (Probably 15+ breeds in my 37 chickens). This is fun and fine for now, but I do want to start focusing on what kind of flock I really want to build for the future. I love the pretty...

    Gender of 2 month old Cochins

    I looked but they seem to be out of stock in all the ones I looked at. Except some place like Strombergs (sp?) but they seem to get bad reviews.

    Then I need to find some female chicks. It’s the wrong time of year for that, I feel.
