    Worried that I may have killed a chick that is very close to hatching.....

    I have a 20 day old egg that has been sitting under broodies and was successfully candled as of last night. Looked like a big air cell and still had veining and there was movement. Today, I noticed it has a faint crack and small ( pip hole maybe) near the narrower end of the egg. Since it stayed...

    Broody NEEDS to stick it out!!!!

    I have a small, 6-chicken Tractor Supply kit coop that is only for laying eggs, where my broody has her nest. The big coop is the one all the chickens use for sleeping. I have been closing the door to the big coop at night during the evening hours, which forces the broody to go back to her nest...

    What would these two mixes look like?

    Does anyone know what chicks from a Buff Brahma male and an Opal Legbar female could look like? Also, a Red Dorking Bantam female and a Silkie Splash male? I am curious to know this before I try hatching chicks.

    Is this 7-day old embryo still alive?

    I'm sorry if the lighting on the egg isn't great, but I'm wondering if this one looks alive? There is an embryo there, with veins coming out from the bottom of it and going down towards the bottom of the egg? No sloshing around...stays still, and no blood ring. I dont see a lot of veins, so I...

    Suggestions: Looking for the darkest egg-layer

    I just got 8 BCM in the mail from Sadie Girl Farm of Black Mountain, NC. The chicks are pricey, but according to info and pictures on her website, her BCMs lay very dark eggs and are thru the Greenfire BCM line, known for dark egg color, among other lines I know nothing about. I am only about...

    Rooster laying eggs

    This is definitely a Polish hen. I had a rooster of this same color variety and he had a much longer, taller topknot and bigger wattles. See my picture. Also, my rooster's tail is more pointed. Congrats on your hen! It is a nice surprise when the gender mistake is that it turns out to be female.

    Broody behavior in a Welsummer....

    I have a 9-10 month old Welsummer that is exhibiting some weird behavior....guessing that she has gone broody? Cornelia will at times sit om a nesting box full of eggs for HOURS and lay an egg herself. She growls, is hot, and pecks my hand if I try to reach under her to get the eggs. She will...

    I think there is a separate quail category of this website, also, if you need more info on them.

    Has anyone gotten chickens from Sadie Girl Farm?

    I actually ordered my first quail from her recently, too. They are supposed to ship late April. She has info about how to care for quail on her website and can send info/ answers questions via email, too. She seems very nice.

    Has anyone gotten chickens from Sadie Girl Farm?

    I just noticed it says Sold Out for Olive Egger and B'uccles chicks, but she does have Marans available. I did order my 14 ( mix ofvMarans, OE, and B'uccles) 2 months ago, but she was willing ship when I wanted them ( early April). Not sure if that's still the case as there have been more orders...

    Has anyone gotten chickens from Sadie Girl Farm?

    I don't know if there is a wait time right now. I did order some chicks, which were supposed to arrive April 2-3, but which are now delayed 2 weeks because her Belgian B'uccles ( ordered 2), are late to start laying this year. She did have extra Marans chicks as of a a few days ago.
