I am looking for different types of hatching eggs in Central Maine. I would prefer to pick them up instead of having any shipped. Please let me know if you have any to sell.

I've been working with the Tractor Supply in Skowhegan, and they would like to have us do chicken swaps at their store. The first one will be on the 21st of this month from 8:00-2:00. It is going to be a Farm Days so bring any type of animal that you can legally sell. We will be close to the...

I have an almost 1 year old Golden Comet and she's been egg bound for the last 2 days. I've been soaking her in warm water and completely spoiling her rotten trying to help her push this egg out. Are there any fellow BYC'ers that can give me any advice on what else I can do ? She seems to be...

I rescued 5 cross breed hens from some pretty bad conditions about 3 weeks ago. Sadly, one was an internal layer w/ a huge swollen belly, and she died last week. Some of them had been de-beaked , and their feathers look horrible. (They're too young for a molt) Is there anything that I can do...

I would like to start selling my extra eggs. Is there anything that I need to know/do before I sell them ? Is there anything that I need to be aware of ? For those of you that do sell your eggs, what do you do ? All inputs will be appreciated !

I rescued some chickens today, and one of them has a very swollen abdomen. I thought she might be egg bound, so after I brought her home, I soaked her in a warm bath for a while. Anyone have any ideas on anything else it could be ? Any help is greatly appreciated !

I have yet ANOTHER broody. First my banty Wyandotte went broody, and now my Marans. Should I put her to use and throw some eggs under her or just let her be ? Both of the broodies arearound 7 months old. I thought they had to be older.

Hi, my name is Melissa, and I'm addicted to getting any and all chickens. Phew....

I couldn't stop my banty Wyandotte from being broody, so I put 4 fertilized eggs under her. This is hers (and my) first attempt at hatching eggs. Any advice from all of you more experienced flock owners out there ?

I just wanted to say thank you for all of the information and help I have received from everyone on this site ! My flock thanks you too

I collected eggs this morning, and noticed my Wyandotte banty has no feathers on her belly. Is she going broody ? Is there a way to stop her from being broody ? I live in Maine, and it is getting quite cold already, so she needs all of her feathers. Should I just leave her alone ? Any...

What breeds do you have in your flock and why did you choose them ?

I have a Wyandotte/Ameraucana cross. Will she lay blue eggs ? Green ? Any ideas ? I'm still pretty new to chickens, and just curious.

A couple of my chickens are sneezing, and I don't know if I should be worried. Their coop stays between 55-65 degrees, so I don't think they are getting too cold. Any ideas ?

I am looking for at least 1 each of La Fleche, Norwegian Jaerhon, Exchequer Leghorn, and Buckeye. I live in Maine so I would need you to be local unless you would ship.

For those of you who have more experience with Marans pullets, do their eggs get darker after their first few ? Mine seems to be laying light brown eggs.

I bought a 4 1/2 month old Ameraucana from a fellow BYC'er and was wondering how you tell Ameraucana's and Easter Egger's apart ? What are the differences ?

I bought a 4-5 month old Ameraucana pullet this morning, and now she is REALLY sick! She is making loud noises when she breathes and when she sneezes, she shakes her head and it sounds like she is barking and crying at the same time. (Really weird noise) She was running around fine with the...

I would really like a Welsummer, Marans, or a Norwegian Jaerhon to add to my flock. Please let me know if you have any you would like to sell or trade !
