    I use dry erase marker says nontoxic did use pencil at first but that just takes longer to do then with marker was worried that the marker would somehow decrease my hatch rate cause of the chemicals of a marker heard people say not to use marker because of that reason:frow

    7 week Salmon Favorelle Roo

    Soooo..... Today I figured out that one of my Salmon Favorelle chicks is a roo. I don't usually keep roos due to the aggressiveness. They lady I purchased him from said she will take him back and refund me; but, she doesn't keep roos either and she will fatten him up and cull and feed to her...

    Pine pellets/sawdust for chicks?

    one of my hens is hatching some new chicks and I want her to raise them in the coop/run with the others. The runs have pine pellets hosed down into a fluffy sawdust, but it isn’t exactly fine dust. I’m wondering if this will be alright for chicks? I have one run that’s mostly dirt, if the...

    Is it okay to move 6.5-7 week old chicks to coop in current temperatures?

    I am new to raising/owning chickens and I have seven 6.5 week old chicks (3 Americanas, 2 Wyandottes, and 2 Starlight Green Eggers). I have had them inside my garage since I brought them home (they were approximately 1 week old). I allowed them heat up until about 1.5 weeks ago. The garage stays...

    I have two sets of chicks being raised by two different mamas currently in the same small coupe. Set number one is a first time mom with three, 3week old chicks. Set number two is a second time Mom (Betty) with seven, 1 week old chicks. Bette seemed to abandon the rest of her clutch of eggs once...

    Something is seriously wrong

    Hello, I am hatching eggs. They were shipped to me and I have a feeling something was wrong because the shipping was delayed and they shipped when it was colder. Not to mention if something says fragile it’s not always handled as such. I made a post a while ago, about how strange the air sacs...

    I think I created something very weird

    I have a hen that was, quite frankly, an accident. We had our lacy roundhead hens with the silkie rooster and as nature does it thing we got a lacy round head x Silkie. She is not the prettiest but she’s a good layer (somewhat). Then I bought 4 chicks from tractor supply and one of them was a...

    SL Wyandotte over Soeckled Sussex… Any guesses on colors? Who’s into color genetics?!

    Hi everyone! This is just for fun, but I’d love to hear what you think of these lil chicks and how they’ll turn out. Rooster is SL Wyandotte. Hen is Speckled Sussex and maybe a Saphire Gem? I know it was two hen’s eggs, but I can’t for the life of me figure out the second hen. Anywho, my...

She brought her to me because she was sick, she was just on the floor laying there looking dead and I noticed when I picked her up, she had her legs tucked in behind her head which was weird, i’ve never seen that before. She...

    Where are the Polish Chickens?!

    Hello all, A bit of a rant but also a cry for help. I've been trying to locate Buff Polish Chickens/Chicks/Hatching Eggs and failing miserably. I've checked every hatchery I can find, searched through Craigslist AND eBay but not a soul has purebred Buff Polish chickens. They're all mutts, mixed...
