Now I’m looking at chicks online, and I DO NOT NEED MORE CHICKENS! Chicken math will not be a subject I should study any time soon! 🤣

That’s interesting. Mine don’t have a rooster, but they still sing the egg song constantly!

I’ve had so many accidental roosters… I love having them, but I have had some nasty ones! We hand raise them, so usually they’re very sweet, but I had a BB red bantam one that would practically rip our hands off when we reached into the egg boxes. He was so beautiful, but I guess that breed can...

They are BEAUTIFUL!

We got a few interesting bantams there years ago, but this year our TSC only had australorps and a different, common sex link breed if I remember correctly. I’m glad we can order chicks in the mail because I’m usually looking for breeds they don’t carry at TSC. Right now I have an olive egger...

I haven’t seen any ANYWHERE. I’d love to get some. I bought a bunch of bags the last time I saw it at TSC (a year or more ago?) and haven’t been able to find any since.

Check this little pointy one out! Our chickens usually lay medium and large eggs. I love when I get double yolks, but that’s pretty rare with my small flock at the moment. I got a few chicks for my sister a couple of years ago, and one of them ended up laying a double yolk every time she laid...

Any news? Are things getting better?

Thank you very much for the help. I’ll pass them along to my neighbors! I really appreciate it.

Hi chicken whisperers! My neighbors are having trouble with a hen. She looks like she now has a giant crop/breast and has stopped laying. Other than that, she seems perfectly fine. They haven’t checked her poop, and she’s scratching and drinking just like a normal chicken from my short...

I‘m so sorry. I had the typical hatch rate for purebred Ameraucanas when I got eggs shipped. I’ve only used broody hens though, never an incubator.

I’m glad to hear the 5/6 hatched fine. I opened mine up to see why they died too and couldn’t really see a reason except for the fact that they know the genes cause mortality. I’m sorry you’re losing any.

My poor dead ones were perfectly formed and looked ready to hatch. I can’t tell for sure if that’s what you have or not. I’m so sorry. :hugs

@Mama_in_the_Dell Is that a blue egg? Araucanas (and so some Americaunas/Easter eggers) carry a gene that causes chick mortality. It’s awful because the chicks are pretty much grown and can’t pip. I had the same problem when I bred araucanas, and they looked perfectly formed but just died in...

Thanks for the update, and sorry for your losses. Good luck with the little ones!

I can’t wait to see what these turn out to be! Please be sure to post more pics as they grow. :love

Really cute though! Dang, I DO NOT need more chickens, but I’m getting broody and wanting some bantams! :idunno

Oh, I hope he ends up being sweet! We’ve had some very sweet ones, unlike the ones I’ve had lately! I had one buff orpington who loved to be cuddled and didn’t fight with any of the bantam roosters who were sweet too. The last three I’ve had have been MEAN! The only one left at the moment...
