Zootopia,
I am going to be up in Abilene this weekend for Buffalo Gap. we will be bring some chickens up there to sell. If you are able or planned on going be nice to meet you.
Last month was my first time to ever be up in that area and I really liked it.

When I got home this weekend from my trade days I was greeted with a incubator full of red and black sex links. I have over 20 so far and still waiting on some more to hatch out. I did have to help 4 so far from the hatch sense the humidity dropped down I am thinking to much and the chicks got...
so far so good on my 100 plus eggs. I do need to recount how many I have. I had to take a few out today that I noticed was slightly cracked. I had to rearrange them on the trays sense i notice when the trays move that some of the eggs end up stand up straight. So took them out real quick and...
well, I just set 100 something black and red sex links. I set them in the bator late last night. so I am taking this as the first day that they are in the bator. I also set a few silkie, and odd and end eggs in my Leahy incubator I have in the bed room.
when I went out to feed the chickens I...
Thanks.. I am really hoping this works out for all of us. Even something my youngest Daughter who will almost be 17 can do as well and earn some money of her own.
I have silkie eggs and some black and Red sex links to set still nto not to worried about it. lol
well no chicks so far. I had to throw out half of my eggs that were to hatch last week. Waiting to see if my Mothers Day Eggs will hatch I am going to give them till Wed. if nothing happens then I will throw them out as well.
I got a great deal on some red and black sex link hatching eggs...
Thank You.
the really little ones are from what I thought was a banty Australorp and found out she is a Sumatra (sp)
the darker of the green eggs is from my EE pen, small white ones are from my Silkies, there are some really like tan I guess you can say now those are either my buff or Lavender...
those are some great tips on knowing what breed is what. Love the velcro and pipe cleaner Idea.
i am going to try the basket idea next. This is what i have been doing....
I was wondering the same thing on how to keep the chicks seperate in the brooder if they look the same. I was thinking of using nail polish and put just a drop on their toe or on the leg somewhere.
When I mark my eggs I use a Pencil - I will put an X on one side and the other side get the date...
well how is everyone hatches doing? I am done with mine. .My last 5 have not hatched as of yet and its been about 3 days sense the others have all hatched. I have some I can move into that bator but this time I think I want to try and hatch them out in the house instead of having it in the...
Really like that bator... How much will you be charging to build one like that? shipping would be from zip code 76078 So you can tell me how much shipping would be. That is to Texas.
Can you see the chicks hatching when they start. I need to think of a hatcher to use. The bator I have is a...

okay fingers crosses. I went to feed the chickens and the rest of the farm animals and decided to check on the eggs and I finally have 2 pippin. So far only the 2 from the 25 or so I i have in there. I am going to go out there here in a little bit and see how they are doing. I am sooo...
Day of lock down and still nothing so the waiting continues. I really hope I get something from this hatch. Told hubby if I do not get something from this one or the next that I was done. Rather send my eggs out and have them hatch out.
I am realizling the one hatching I am using as hatcher...
so you do not let your breeders out during breeding season? I have 4 pens of breeders and what I do is each day only 1 pen at a time get let out so they can still forage and have fun. So far its been working out fine. I have buffs and lavenders, EE's and Australorps and my silkies have a coop...
