Hello Everyone! Today was Day 7 for my sixteen Cornish Rock broiler eggs. This is my first time incubating with a new Brinsea Octagon 20 Advance. The eggs were shipped to me and I put them in the incubator right away instead of waiting because they seemed to be hotter than room temperature...

In a nutshell, I am hoping to find someone who has eggs from Jumbo Cornish Rock hens and some large meaty breed rooster that they wouldn't mind sending me to hatch out. My husband and I just ordered a Brinsea Octagon 20 Advance and we are bursting with excitement. Okay, mostly I am. When it...

Hello all, I hope you can help me here. I don't know what is going on with my chickens! I have about a dozen and a half hens that vary between 1 year and 4 years old. They have all been doing fine for the past years, each laying an egg every 1 to 2 days. This year when Spring rolled around I...

Hello, Does anyone have a standard Golden Polish rooster that they would like to find a home for? I need an adult Golden Polish for a project I'm doing. Thanks! Jenne

Hello all, While searching the question "how much to feed adult chickens per day", we find that the answer seems to be "1/4 lb per chicken, 1/3 lb if it is a very large chicken". I don't know about you, but the feed scoopers that I use aren't measured by the pound!! This question has been...

I'm hoping to find a breeder of standard size White Crested or Solid-Colored Blue Polish. Would take SPLASH in a heartbeat! I'm located in Pennsylvania/New Jersey, but I'll pay for shipping if need be. Hoping to get either hatching eggs, day old baby chicks, started pullets, or adult hens...

Hello all, I will be constructing a coop for my Wyandottes soon, and will put only the most exceptional birds in it. I have quite a few Wyandottes, and I just ordered some eggs from a great bloodline, so I know that I'll have quite a few extras that aren't pretty enough to make it into the coop...

Not only keep grass alive and accessible for them to munch on, but also keep the chickens dirt-free. Here is my idea: Okay, so lets say you have 8 chickens.... Make a fenced in sandbox 4 x 8 ft next to a grassy lawn. On the side of the sandbox, make a wooden frame 8 ft wide, 10 ft long, and...

I have 14 baby chicks, all crosses between purebred parents. There are both pullets and cockerels available. They have been hatched and raised in the livingroom and are used to being handled daily. They have amazing personalities and act more like dogs than birds. I'm asking $2.00 each for the...

I have 15 baby chicks, all crosses between purebred parents. The majority of them are pullets. They have been hatched and raised in the livingroom and are used to being handled daily. I'm asking $2.00 each. The Leghorn crosses will be excellent layers and the Jersey Giant crosses would make...

Hello- I am thinking about starting a flock with hens of various heavy breeds, and a Dark Cornish roo. The breeds I was considering for the hens were: Australorps Rocks Jersey Giants Orpingtons Wyandottes Brahmas New Hampshires Sussex I've read that the "Cornish Crosses" are basically a...

Hello Everyone! I am back! Not sure if anyone remembers me, but I joined BYC around 2003 (give or take) right around when I was starting middle school. My username was Pocketpooch6. Unfortunately I lost my password and email, so I had to make a new username. I joined BYC back then because I...
