Looking for chicks? I'm not hatching them yet but I will be.

I looked at your website and you have a few types I'd be interested in. When do you think you'll start hatching?

Right now, I have black copper Marans and F2 Olive eggers hatching. I haven't seperated the Seramas yet but probably will within a week so about a month and a half to 2 months till I'll have babies from them. Ameraucanas are seperated but aren't laying yet so just waiting on them to give me something and I just seperated the light brahmas tonight.

I have someone interested in getting eggs off me to hatch. How do I store them till the get them? My roosters are 24/7 with my hens. Would they still be fretal with it being winter? I have not seen much mating but then they are staying in the coop more. They are coming Friday to get one of the puppies.

They should be. If you have plenty, crack one open and check.

 

[HeartoftheMatterFarm]

Ok. I did that. I cracked open 2. And both are fertal. I fried them up and the dogs will get a treat as I already ate.

Ugh, in Erie county, we did get about a foot of snow, with more in the drifts. Made for a fun weekend trying to ice-fish in that mess! BRRRRR. The chickens have been fine so far. I feel bad that they can't (and won't) come out of the coop. I have been throwing corn all over for some fun for them. My rooster was ok until last night - his comb has one point turning black, and his wattles are turning black on the bottom as well. Not sure what we can do for him. His wattles are HUGE, I don't know how he eats with those getting in the way!

First, you need less humidity in the coop.
Apparently there is evidence that vaseline makes frostbite more likely. Maybe it causes more moisture? I forget the “why/how” part.
So, he won’t win any prizes at the fair. All I know you can do at this point is to figure out why it happened. Then change whatever it is about the coop in the spring.
