We are downsizing our flock! We have some healthy and actively laying two year old Barred Rock and Rhode Island Red hens that we are looking to rehome in the next month or so. Anyone interested?
Hi all. A few days ago I posted pictures of 2 eggs. Unanimously it was decided they were from my Guinea and not my chickens. My oldest Guinea is 14-16 weeks.
Anywho- she laid 2 eggs within 12 hours. It has now been a full 72+ hours since another egg has been seen.
My question is, when they...
Looking for either African or Super African hatching eggs... I need 6 of them. Looking for this color pattern, please show me the color of your stock. And please don't be offended if I decline... looking for this specific coloration. Will need to be shipped to Rincon, GA. Thanks in advance!
Those of you that keep your eggs on the counter (and out of the fridge), what do you use to hold the eggs in? I currently have this container, but I often have more than a dozen eggs sitting there and would like to stop using paper cartons because, well, they just don't look nice. :) Do you use...
We have 2 hens sitting (for about a week) in the back corners of our coop. Our nephew came over to play and while the ladies got up for the quick water & food break, he went in and collected the eggs in his t-shirt. I thought he was already aware that they were trying to hatch babies, but I...
I have one guinea that is 20-22 weeks old and 4 that are 12-14ish weeks old
And chickens that are 14ish weeks old. I’m not sure which they are from. But 2 eggs in 1 day so I’m confused.
I was fairly positive my oldest Guinea was a male because of its call and that my 7 oldest chickens were all...
I have a silkie hen and she has never had chicks but has layed normally. So now she has decided she wants to have chicks so she's been in the nesting box and protecting her eggs and everything and I couldn't be more proud. But before anything happened I had introduced another hen I had from my...
My Indian Runner has been on 3 eggs, all were viable, I have seen all the signs when candling. The first hatched yesterday but there is no sign of the other two hatching. How long should I leave it before removing the eggs?
Thanks for your help and advice
Hey I’m canceling my eggs and one eggs air sac is off a little. (See attached)
My eggs are due to hats in about 1-3 days. I wish I knew exactly but my hen laid when I was out of town.
I really am determined to have a higher success rate I am a newer Hatcher. This is my first time incubating...
1 dozen: $10
18 Dozen: $13
I get up to 8 fertile eggs/day, so egg gathering will be fast. Egg colors are light brown to dark brown. Examples will be attached.
I am in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and I am okay with finding a meeting place in between our locations to lessen driving.
Rooster is a...
My candler is cheap. But I’m new to the chick hatching game and wanted to see if this was a dud egg or not? It’s black all around? Put them in incubator around the 28th or so of April. If any one has any tips I would love to be a better candler.
When my chickens are old enough, I will put up a sign in front of my house and sell eggs for food. But, I'm considering breeding some of my chickens and setting up an online store to sell to people. The problem is that I don't know whether to ship eggs or chicks. Even with proper packing, the...
I have 6 hens all a little over a year old. One of my Brahmas has just gone broody. Pulled the feathers off her belly, won’t leave the nesting box, screeching at me and the other hens if we come near, the whole thing. I’m unable to give her fertilized eggs or babies, so I am going to try putting...
All winter not enough production. I shamefully buy store eggs because my 25 chickens don't lay enough eggs in the winter. Then comes spring and I sell a few dozen eggs per week roadside and several dozen eggs goes to the food bank. I have read that you can preserve eggs but I have never done...

So year before last all 40 of my starter flock stopped laying within a week of each other. I changed coop arrangements, fenced, then free ranged, rooster then no roo, followed all the advice i found here. Nothing worked. In autumn i moved them into winter coops and still, maybe 5-7 eggs from...
