    Breeds of rescue chickens?

    Our sanctuary just rescued these six "hens"... Not so sure the gray one in the middle is a hen. They're supposedly about three months old. What breeds do we have here? Thanks!

    Topic of the Week - Emergency/First Aid Preparedness

    I have heard a lot of folks say they just purchased antibiotics. How to you obtain them? I thought you couldn't do that without a vet prescription?

    Diamond Dove Beak Issues

    I had two 5 year old Diamonds and one of them passed back in October. I was so worried about the remaining little guy, but he has made it through the grief period and is loving life. These past couple weeks I noticed something was wrong. He was sitting on the floor in the back corner of his cage...

    ~Shipped Egg Early Spring Hatch-a-Long~

    Aw what cuties! Congrats on them! I had two hatch yesterday. 1 Buff Silkie and 1 Splash Silkie! The Splash is a little weak, but the Buff is a crazy little one! They hatched about 7 minutes apart! I call them the twins! :p The other 2 eggs don't look good. I candled this AM to make sure...

    I had a pip in one when I woke up this AM and it's been the same all day! Another one did pip and semi zip on the bottom at some point today so that's why I didn't see it. I want to go in and flip the egg over so badly! And my last two haven't shown signs of anything.

    Do you have multiple thermometers in the incubator? I had something like that happen last year. Turns out my thermometer was wrong the entire time. So now I never incubate with less than two.

    I have candled and it looks like I still have 4 going strong. Unfortunately, one of the 4 has a saddle air sac. I don't have much experience with this situation. I'm sure the hatch rate on those isn't good?

    Nice to see your progress! Out of 8 eggs I have only 3 developing PLUS another one of my silkies went broody! So now I NEED at least 2 successful eggs. Haha!

    I usually get one every other day, but every so often I can get 1 a day for a small period of time.

    They are! I'm thinking about just raising them instead of other breeds as well. They're just so friendly! I adore them! This is my broody, Ludo. :)

    It's difficult finding hatching eggs in PA. Closest place is about 4 hours away. So I'd rather just order them online.

    I'm getting a small shipment of silkie eggs today! (I hope) :) Half will be going under the broody hen and the other half will be hatched in an incubator!

    How long will a broody sit on the nest?

    Thank you! Is there anything in particular that I can give her along with her food to keep her healthy?

    How long will a broody sit on the nest?

    Thanks! That's such a bummer. Maybe I'll just hatch all of them myself then. Anyone else?

    How long will a broody sit on the nest?

    Just trying to get a rough estimate here. My silkie hen has been broody for almost 3 weeks now. I tried to hatch some of our own eggs, but none ended up being fertile for some odd reason. So, I ordered hatching eggs and will give her half and hatch half on my own - just in case. I am of course...

    BIN: 12+ Blue,Black,Splash,White, Partridge & buff silkie eggs ship 2/26/2017wk located in Georgia

    One of the silkie babies I hatched from your eggs last year has gone broody! So exciting! Could you sell a smaller batch of eggs (6 or so)? And would it still be $19 shipping?
