    How I Store Eggs Shells For Future Reference

    I am currently breeding for egg color with a variety of chickens. I have kept the egg shells for reference when the new pullets begin to lay. I find it very easy to forget who I bred with who, the color of the chick when it hatched, etc, so this is how I keep it all straight! In addition to the...

    Newest Flock Members

    Just showing off these exceptionally sweet chicks! I ordered from Meyer, mostly "eggers" and a few FBCMs & Cuckoo Marans, two of my favorites. Look at the legs on this kid! This little girl has a lovely bluish cast to her down, fluffy cheeks and feathered shanks (slate shanks). Can't wait to...

    Flying Ant Day!

    After yesterday's rain and today's heat, the flying ants emerged from their underground nests late this afternoon! I had already put the flock in for the day but when I saw what was happening, I released them again to feast. I wish I'd had my phone on me to video what took place! They went...

    First U.S. Egg Producer Commits to End Chick Culling by Fall

    I just saw this article tonight & thought I’d share it here. It sounds like the in-ovo sexing will be in use soon. I bet it won’t be cheap, if you’ll pardon the pun! First U.S. Egg Producer Commits to End Chick Culling by Fall

    Two Gold Laced Wyandotte Pullets—NW Ohio

    I’m selling these two GLW pullets. Their hatch date is 8/24/20 and they came from Meyer Hatchery. I don’t breed Wyandottes, so these two were order fillers to help me reach 25 chicks for my order. Both are in great health, very active and tough little kids. My flocks are disease-free and very...

    Processed 23 week old Buckeye pullet

    She had severe wry tail. I thought it was very interesting what I found when I opened the body cavity. I’m guessing there were about 10 egg yolks and one egg that appeared almost ready to lay. I don’t often cull my pullets unless there is a problem so I was kinda surprised at the number of...

    FBCM Eggs, Day 14 Candling

    I have some concerns. I should mention that this is my first hatch and that these eggs are pretty dark. I have numbered them from lightest to darkest. Egg 1 is about the darkness of a good Welsummer egg and 8 is dark as dark chocolate. I have not pictured all the eggs, just the ones I'm most...

    Midge's First Egg!

    Little Midge is my only bantam. She's a real joy to us. Her spunk and energy level are to be admired! She laid her very first egg yesterday. I figured an egg was impending the day before because she was being very vocal, which she usually is not. She is 23 weeks old. Her egg weighed 23 grams...

    Useful Apps?

    Does anyone know of or use an app for hatching eggs? I know there are apps for people expecting babies, but what about hatching eggs?

    Chick TV

    I took a quick video of the month-olds this afternoon while taking a break from all the activities of today. They love the summer squash my neighbor/coworker gave me from his garden. I can't believe how much these kids eat!

    Molly Brown

    This hen is fighting for her life. She's one of those quiet, unassuming hens that never causes problems. So she just fits in and you don't notice her unless something is wrong. She was keeping to herself and not moving around much. I did some examining and to my horror discovered she was...

    Just a Quick Thanks

    Yesterday, I had to have my vet put down the best dog I've ever had. It was gut wrenching, excruciating and I never want to go through it again. I cried for 24 hours. The only time I didn't cry was when I was asleep. I got on the forum late last night and just got lost in the wonderful threads...
