I acquired this incubator when i bought property about 2 yrs ago from original owner for $300- It is pretty large (guessing the wooden cabinet is about 2x4' around and about 3' tall). It can hold several hundred eggs- max is 600- I put about 300 large chicken eggs in it with 85% hatching rate...
I bought chickens at the beginning of June- "ready to lay" they are called from this store buffs- others call them comets production red or cinnomon queens. They started of with really yellow legs, small but red combs, and were full pullet size, and pretty well looked ready to lay.
I bought...
Hi I have a new baby leghorn from my pullets I raised I heard you can tell age when they are newborns by their feathers- I couldn't get a real good picture, but to me by the feathers it has two distint rows, one longer than the other, and not tapered like I see the males pictures I see online...

My chicken eggs were doing great till the end of incubation, I candled and found about 10% with nothing, and the others dark at day 15, and then on day 20- 5 hatched. Another two were still alive with pipping but died trying to hatch, another made it out and died shortly after but its wing and...
I free ranged my blue orpintons, I put out their nesting box with them and they didn't seem to care- they lay the eggs everywhere. About a week now I found only one egg a day from 10 hensm when usually its been 6-7 a day. I put an egg down that was unfertilized to see what was going on. I have...
Hello - I'm looking to buy some French Black Copper Maran Pullets. Any amount up to 10 would be great. I'm in the Eastern Ohio area and willing to drive
Here are some pics, the with feathers on the chests indicate to me that it is not an austrolorp at least not black ones, but what kind is it? There are 4 different pictures of 4 birds. Two are probably roos, and the other 2 pullets, please help!
I know these are blue splash and Black, but are they Jersey Giants or Orpingtons, the babies have white feet? There are two different splash roosters, and some of the hens look blue with black heads, Thank you for helping!
