If anyone has any hatching eggs in the area of Legbars or Marans and they're NPIP/AI I'd love to hear from you. I'll be visiting and would love to get some new bloodlines

I'm looking for some new blood for my flock. I'm going to be visiting SLC and if anyone is NPIP/AI and either Legbars or Marans hatching eggs. I'd love to hear from you.

Our weather all of a sudden is super high humidity and yesterday I noticed some of the hens sound a little "congested" and seem to cough almost. There' no sign of egg bubbles, not noticing any stuff flying out when they cough/shake their head. I've picked up a couple and I'm not seeing any wet...

Well I thought I had everything perfect so no mixing and somehow during hatching some of my chicks got mixed in with each other. Now I'm stuck as I don't know which is Legbar and which isn't. HELP My gut says yellow dot is Olive Eggers but 2nd guessing myself I did 3 chicks pictured at...

I was wondering if anyone had a sure way to tell the difference in Cream Legbar eggs vs Easter Egger eggs. I want to get some CL eggs from someone. She however says she's also go a couple of EEs in her flock but not to worry even though they're the same color they're easy to tell apart. I have...

For those of you that hatch more than 1 breed of chick at a time in for example a Little Giant foam incubator how do you keep track of what chick is which breed. Example Olive Eggers and Easter Eggers in the same incubator. It would take me a couple of weeks to get 40 Olive Egger eggs to fill...

So I had a hatch done, it had been 3 days post the hatch date. I had 2 eggs both very dark shells so I took them outside to open to see what may have happened. Opened the first...it was a quitter,didn't fully form. Easily cracked and opened the air sac end of the 2nd and as soon as I pulled a...

So I know that both blue and green eggs are acceptable egg colors in CCLs. However I was wondering if you bred a Roo from lines that are blue to a hen that has light green I suspect you have a 50/50 chance of getting either blue or green but if you took one of those chicks that are laying blue...

I'm a total newbie and I am about 98% sure this is a cockerel but since this is my first hatch of Legbars I'm not confident. Sorry pictures are large

So I've got several hens that are full BCM and several Bielefelder hens. I have a Crested Cream Legbar Roo. I'm new to genetics and trying to learn or figure out. If I breed these combinations will the resulting chicks be sex-linked? I want to be able to tell them apart as chicks. My other...

I have had no issues with the incubator so far, it's a still air and has a turner. I purchased a separate thermometer/hydro. They've run no more than 101.3, I just candled and removed the turner as TODAY is lock down. The issue is it's been about 3hrs and the temp is only reading 98.5 while...

A friend of mine is a newbie with her incubator as am I and I told her about this great group to join so I hope she does. She's got a Styrofoam one and is having a horrible time keeping it with the right temp etc. She was going to order this morning a Harris Farms Nurture Right 360 but it...

So I have a Magicfly 12 egg little oval incubator. I bought a thermometer and hydro thing to add to it. The problem is I can't get it to stay at one temp. It ranges from 97.8-99.4F. It got chilly in my house so I wrapped at towel around the bottom to help. The eggs are only on the 2nd day so are...

I wasn't thinking and I dewormed my hens. I have 2 hens that are just now becoming broody. Will the eggs hatch even though I wormed the hens?

I don't know any "chicken" vets and the only vet that remotely seemed to know about such things told me to order something called Doxy-Tyl and do 2 teaspoons of powder to 1 gallon water daily. However when I asked him about egg withdrawal time he said he had no idea only that he knew you...

I am looking for either pullets or chicks (sexed hens only). Tractor Supply offers something they're calling Sapphire Olive Egger chicks but I'm not sure if that's a correct breed name though. If anyone has any avab. please let me know.

I've not been a big poster but I like to read. However I'm at a loss. I have 7 hens, unknown ages, I used to get 4-6 eggs a day. I was feeding Purina layena,little to no free range. Due to work I just wasn't able to get to the Tractor Supply to get food on a regular basis so I switched to...

I was told that I should buy and incubator but didn't have the extra $$ for one so I let miss broody set them. Today they are hatching,there are 5 eggs that have about a dime size spot picked from the egg. Should I bring them in and put them under a heat lamp or what do I do?

I have always had hens as I just had no desire to have a Roo. But I decided I really wanted some Black Copper Marans and I got a deal if I took a trio,so I did. The hens are just fine in my crew but some of the hens have decided to start pulling out the tail feathers of the Roo. He is only 4-5...
