Its an addiction, hatching your own eggs, This is my first year dealing with chickens. Now my yard is over run with my winged friends! I think i have a little over 20 chickens. and Hatching out new ones almost every 21 days. ! I love it. Even my 2 year old gets into it when they are hatching.
Set a dozen eggs. Mainly Silkie eggs. With a few Golden Sebrights along for the ride! So far ive successfully hatched out 7 tiny baby Golden sebrights. Here is a pic of those. Its a bad one bc they wont sit still!
now the wait is on! I also order Silver Sebright eggs that should be here...
Hello,
I was wondering if any of you guys had any Silver Sebright Hatching eggs. Ive been looking for weeks now and i cant find any. Ive tried every egg auction site. ebay. You name it. If anyone has any PLEASE let me know. I live in Kentucky..
I love silkies. I just got 2 the other week. They are so sweet. I dont how they are with other chickens bc my chickens dont like other chickens. They like their own little flock. My seabright hen likes my Silkies. I plan to see if my other 6 will take to them like i have!!! We got her on wensday...
We just put out a still trap in front of our bitty house and put a thing up so they cant get out and get on it! He hasnt been around in a few days. But i hope he dont come back. He hit once before killing 3 or 4 chickens then this time he got 2 bittys and my full grown duck.. But if i catch...
A mink can get throw a crack 1/2 inch sometimes smaller. Happened to a friends chicken house.. I know that i no longer like the mink. It has killed 6 chickens and my duck. Everyone has ""the list"" well the mink moved to #1 on mine!
Does anyone know how to get rid of this little pest! He has managed to kill my Dry Land Duck. and it took 2 chicks as a ""to-go"" meal. It wouldnt have really bothered me if it wasnt for my daughter who is 2. She keeps putting food in the ducks bowl telling me that Crackers Come Back. so Does...
Hello,
I know how you feel about things coming up missing! Just yesterday i went out to check on my flock of birds. I had 5 baby RIR chicks and 3 Yellow Buff chicks. Well my count was 4 and 2. Well i also HAD a dry land duck. I went to see if she had laid me any eggs and she was laying there...
Hello,
I was incubating eggs and come to find out i only had 1 that was making any progress. Well its hatch day was Sunday July 4.. It still hasnt hatched. I am afraid to touch it or open the lid.. What should i do?!?!
I have 1 single egg that is due to hatch on on the Fourth of July! (can anyone else think of a better day to hatch?!!?) Ive been looking at differant candling pics and he/she is right on schedule, but in some videos they move. Mine hasnt moved when i candle it. Is it still okay?
I never really knew chickens had so much personality. I also just got a pair of Golden Seabrights. The little rooster is so mean tho! The hen not so much but doesnt like to be bothered. She lays us an egg every other day! Sometimes Every day. I just went and collected one! If i leave them in...
She is just adorable! I think my last purchase of the year will be a pair (or 2 ) of Silkies. Then i will be done till Chick Fever strikes again next year. I think i have about 20 in my flock. Here are some pics of the ones that i have now
I have 2 pair of these.Barred Rock Bantams
