    New rooster

    I’m getting a new rooster for my flock, what I want to know is how long should I wait for the new rooster to have definitively fertilized all the hens, before I try incubating. I currently have a gamefowl rooster as a protector but he recently became aggressive, so we’re rehoming. I definitely...

    Chicken run for a lot of chickens lol

    Hi everyone! I have a large ever growing flock. (Chicken math) I have an 8x12 shed I converted into their coop and they free range. My dogs do a great job protecting them during the day but I'd like to build/buy a run for extra security. How big should I make it? Is it cheaper to buy the lumber...

    Egg Sales

    For the first time I am thinking about selling my excess eggs. In the past I have always given away my excess to friends and neighbors but the feed is becoming so expensive that I am tempted to put a cooler at the end of my driveway and post a for sale sign when I have extra. I don’t have a...

    Will My Geese Sit their Eggs or Not?

    Hi! This is my first post on BYC. I have a small flock of geese with 1 pilgrim male, 1 pilgrim female, 3 Chinese males, 1 Chinese female, and an old Dewlap Toulouse - not sure if it’s male or female. Our geese have started laying, we get 1-2 eggs a day. When they first started, they would lay...

    What is this smell!!??! Ahhhh!!!

    I just got a message from my aunt saying that one of my eggs smelled like bleach. She sent me a pic of the shell and it looks lightly brown on the inside. I have never ran into this before so naturally I am kind of freaking out as I do sell my eggs. I use no chemicals around my flock, coop/run...

    Incubator Temp dropped to 75

    Hello, I made the mistake of buying a used incubator which apparently has an internal thermometer issue. Twice now it has gone down to 75ish for a few hours, once on day 4 and again today on day 8. It reads 100 but the thermometers I have inside read 75. Then when I unplug and plug in the...

    Quitters all the time

    Hi there, I’ve been having issues with quitters in my hen’s eggs for a third time now. We have a mixed flock with bantam Barnevelders and a Belgian chicken breed, our rooster is from the bantams. When my barnevelder became broody on eggs from both breeds, they all developed very well. Sadly...

    Broody hen, temp too cold?

    My silkie hen just decided she wanted to brood some eggs. My question is, will it be too cold once they hatch? Is it too cold for her to even successfully incubate? It’s and 35 degrees Fahrenheit here at night and 50 during the day. On another note I’m not even sure she can brood in the coop...

    Hen kicked pipped egg

    Hello! My broody left her nest for a romp and snack, so I went to check the eggs (day 19) and saw one had pipped! Heard some peeps too, very cute. But when she got back in the nest, she basically kicked the poor thing and it rolled over. And then she scooped it back under her. I expect hens...
