Here are my babies! No more have hatched yet but looked at the calendar and day 21 is today. So some must have been laid at other times. Still hopeful! I have 25 pullets on the way from Welp. I needed to increase my eggs so the place that buys them won't keep calling me because they ran out...

I don't have a lot of room,but I will not give up. As soon as my husband gets my outside brooding area finished I will try again. But I will still have to order some female chicks. See I sell my eggs to the Market here and it funds my chickens projects. I love my chickens! Thanks for the...

My chick died! I took the shell off afterward and it was not attached to membranes She was a black sexlink. So far I have 2 roos and 1 female, 3 buffs that I won't know until they get older. LOL. Well none of others have hatched so I will give them a few more days.

Thanks Every time I have tried to incubate the eggs, it always stresses me out! I think next time I will just buy my chicks. This is my 2nd try!

I have 5 already hatched, three more starting to crack, but one is still struggling to free itself. I thought it would have been my second one. Now I am concerned. It's peeps are still strong but I am worried. Do I let nature take it's coarse?

I started with 50 Rhode Island Reds. They were so sweet and friendly. But I have a huge yard fenced and covered. and 2 hen houses! I was told a good flock to start is 25 to 50. but you have to have the room for them! They are alot of work at first! Talk to people who have them and then...

My husband and I used wooden crates that his brother had laying around and built the 1st house which is 8x9x7 and used an old screen door for the coop entrance and four windows that gave me easy access to the eggs without going inside. The total cost $15.00 for hinges and latches. We built our...

I have 30 hens and just found another roo. I have two RI Red Roos and now 1 Buff Orpington Roo. He is become the ruler but no fighting. He respects me and other Roos. They all have their own hens and the raccoon that has cut my hens from 44 to 30 is now missing out. My Roos round them up to...

Chicks have been doing great and here are the pics of them together after it rained a hard rain this afternoon. Our roof over our water area and shade area started to fall. My husband braced it until he can repair it.

Now there are three Brooding.

Oh Lord! I have two of my chickens that went broody and both are now in the same nest. We have two nest of 4 that have enough room for two hens at a time. They have always laid like this. I guess she got tired of having her eggs moved. Now they are a tag team of pecks if you get near them...

Well they are open to go where they please. Their coop has been open for 3 hours and so far so good. Roosters seem to be protecting the younger ones. Will post pictures later.

Thanks. Great read! One question left. My 25 girls are already about the size of my 13 hens. The black rocks are pretty aggressive and the white rocks. Will the size of the new flock help any at all? Does the majority help even it out?

I have been doing this since 2008 and still have trouble deciding when and how. Although, this is the first time I have had Roosters!

We just finished covering our yard of the coop with the similar plans. Is working great! We also covered around our fencing with flight net (very inexpensive) because of snakes. We have deterred 8 black snakes so far! my yard is 35x75 per my husband. We are fixing to separate the yard for a...

My husband and me 2 yrs ago at Myrtle Beach, SC 2nd photo is me this past Thanksgiving at my home in Fort Mill SC

Glad I seen this posting. I have 25 chicks going in they're coop after we cover the yard with flight netting. My adult hens and roos will be forced to used the other coop. Must cover the yard though of predators. Unfortunately, we built the second one for summer. They stripped the land...
