    Help! I'm past day 21. No chicks.

    Yes, I did all those things. I have a thermometer and it has been right at the top of the eggs. 99.5 consistently. It was calibrated for two or three days before I set the eggs. I'm going to put the wet paper towels in. I've been putting water in the wells of the egg cartons but I still think...

    Help! I'm past day 21. No chicks.

    This is my first time incubating eggs. I believe I have followed the incubation instructions as close to perfect as I can get them. My eggs should have hatched Saturday or Sunday. Haven't checked yet this morning but as of last night there were no signs of hatching. On Monday, just to see what...

    ~*Carolina Chickenstock 2011*~

    Had a great time at the swap. Love, love, love my new Partridge Silkie Pair and my new little chicks. My pair has already bonded. If I get the female out to handle her the male already throws a fit. He quiets down as soon as he can see her. Thanks, Sandy.

    Post your FIRST EGG pics!

    Yesterday, August 20, 2011 I got my very first egg. I just got two seasoned hens someone gave me because I wasn't doing well on the egg front, but I think this egg came from one of my three white laced Cornish. The shell seems a little frail so I think it might be because it's the first one...

    Poll: Prettiest Sebright Contest ~Open to ALL BYC users~ VOTINGS CLOSE

    I'm hoping for a last minute surge for Jimmy! It would really do a lot to boost his ego. He would proudly wear the "crown". He says thanks for the consideration. He wants to be a real "chick" magnet. Ha ha!

    ~~Prettiest Sebright CONTEST~~

    This is Jimmy my Golden Sebright roo. He's about a year old. Very sweet. The photo just doesn't do him justice. His comb is such a vibrant red and his colors are just beautiful. Like others have said, my hens fly up and perch on my hands or my shoulders. When no one else seems to like me they...

    Neighbor's chickens over here. Mad as Heck!

    But if you're a new person to this site, (as I am) this was new information for me. So, it's good info, old or new. I'm sorry, but I was going to suggest you catch them and take them to a no kill animal shelter where someone might adopt them who truly appreciated them. I know it's probably not...

    Would this be a good place for a newbie? I'm not sure about the quality of my birds but curious and think it would be fun. I'm about 2 hours away.

    What is the best breed for a pet?

    I have some chickens for their great looks running around the yard, but I would like to have a couple who would be friendly and docile my grandchildren could hold and work with them as pets. What breed would be recommended?

    treats and scraps

    My 3 month olds are already picky. They gobbled up fresh tomato and some banana I gave them, but they would touch the broccoli or the turnip greens.

    What do you sing?

    I sing the chicken song, you know, like the one they play at weddings. I don't think it has any words. I just sing the melody.

    Chicken Newbie

    I also am from Upstate SC as another poster said today. I just got some chickens not quite 3 months old and also some chicks about 2 weeks old now. The older chickens I purchased from a gentleman who bought the rarest of rare breed assortment through McMurray hatchery in February. I bought six...
