I am so excited had to share, figured this might be a good thread to post in!
I just hatched 14 of the 16 eggs shipped from halo here on BYC.
I have never had this great of a hatch rate on shipped eggs.
Beautiful, healthy Blue Rocks. The red one in the back and the black one in front are from...

These eggs arrived in perfect condition and I am very satisfied with the hatch rate and the results.

Hi Floridians.
Anyone need some roosters? I am Rooster RICH! I am getting about 70% boys on my hatched eggs.
So far I think I have around 14 of them, not really Roosters yet but they will be.
I have a couple Buff Orps hatched on 6/27 from okihens eggs, an EE he is probably 4-5 months old from a...
I have 2 young roosters RIR's 6 or 7 months old. I have never really held them or cuddled them, but they had always been friendly towards me. Until about a week ago.......Fred, the dominate rooster decided he wanted to try and fight me. Jumped straight up in the air towards my face claws out, I...
Ok so I hatched some (20) babies for my sister-in-law, how hard could it be? Just chickens right?
OMG I cried like a little girl as I was loading those babies in that box. I even called twice to make sure they were doing ok on the ride home.
I love hatching and raising babies. I really didn't...
Just wanted to say that no matter what you get they are adorable!
Here's my babies form Camelot Farms eggs.
A little over a week old. (Porcelain, Golden Necks and Mille Fluer)
Maybe it's spraddle leg/splay leg.

I'm no expert but I did have a couple chicks hatch like that.
I just wanted to update on the puffy faces and respiratory thing we had going on. Seems my original flock of 4 was not vaccinated for anything so who knows what it was. The good news is they are all fine I would say 100%. it was hard to sit back and watch this evil sickness try to take my birds...
I am in the same position. I have 23 babies all about a month old and noticed the gray ones (I am pretty sure they are Andalusians) are very aggresive. so I seperated them (3) and in a matter of a few hours one was left with no feathers on it's back from the neck to the tail!!
Hard to believe...
Thank you for sharing this!! I love it!
I am in South Florida and have been looking for some open coop designs and this looks perfect for me and my chicks.
Now, just gotta get Hubby on board
I have some 6 week olds in a wire bottom cage with a roost bar going accros the cage and they seem to be fine. The run around during the day in a pen and sleep there at night.
Under the cage there is a sliding pan that is easy to hose off.
Not sure how big your chickens are but here is a...
It's daylight and they are all still alive. Everyone is rattling this morning and they want out.
I am wondering if I should start Sulmet today, do you think that would interfere with any treatment that the Vet prescribes?
I am having a hard time just sitting back and doing nothing.
Sunny, your .02 means a lot!!! You don't know how bad I was hoping for it to be Pox. The other symptoms didn't seem to show up until later. They were all just puffy. As of last night when they went to sleep they are all coughing and sneezing, honking and just plain lethargic. The boys tail...
Thank you Sunny,
I have met Dr Porcher and sent him an email this morning. He responded to my emai and he seems to think that we may be dealing with Infectious Bronchitis or CRD.
He said to call him Monday to discuss treatment and vaccines. So that's what I will do.
Today I noticed one of my...
