Hi guys, I haven't been here forever, but with spring slowly approaching I'm starting to get a hatching fever. I'm looking for laced (buff, or black and white) polish hatching eggs. Can you guys recommend someone? Also, is there any chicken show planned any time soon in Bloomington, IN? Thanks

Quote: I hope it won' t knock out the power. I have eggs in a bator. Otherwise, I could use an excuse not to go to work for a day.

Quote: I didn't dilute it. It was coloring in a liquid form in small bottles and I used a drop or two. I didn't think it was going to work. I thought it would dry up before the egg was laid ... but I guess not, a few eggs did come out with traces of paint, even a few days later.

Quote: pbirdhaven, sorry about your bird. Are the others OK?

So, I food colored my chicken’s vents over the weekend. The process was very easy and fast. I used syringe and squirt a little bit inside. It actually worked. Well, for the most part - two of the green eggs came purple and blue stained for a few days, so we know for sure that both of my silver...

Quote: This cracked me up for some reason... I only have six birds, and have lots of spare time, so it was easy to figure out who laid what egg with my girls. I've read about using a medicine dropper to place just a bit of food coloring in the vent... But you'd need a different color for...

Quote: I'm interested and am looking for all these breeds as well, except in a form of hatching eggs. My chickens have been on the laying strike ever since the winter started, but the production picked up again about a week or two ago. I installed a light in their coop and setup a heated...

Quote: I was scared to put my daugther on the schoolbus today. The main roads are fine but I am not comfortable with those little curvy and hilly backroads the bus has to take. And I'm so worried about my chickens. I hope it warms up soon.

Quote: We will be ready for more birds in a few months, when we have better accomodations for them. Right now we are just making plans. I will keep you in mind.

Quote: Oh yeah, I don't care about the color. I love them all. ;-) I was going to try to hatch some eggs in a few months, you know, for spring, some time around Easter. I just read silkies are hard to hatch anyway so it probably doesn't make sense to try to hatch shipped eggs for the first...

Hi, I'm in Springville, IN. I'm married with two children - both girls, 7 and 4 y.o. We are all chicken crazy! I think my 7 year old will be remembered as a chicken girl by her friends from school. My adventure with chickens started this year with my husband bringing 3 chicks from a feed store...
