I only wash those that are going in the fridge for someone else to eat. Ours stay on the counter. Very dirty eggs (especially from the extreme amount of rain we had) are given back to my animals. I am incubating and doing an experiment right now. Some are dirty, some are not and some have been...

Very beautiful whatever their breed is. They look like black star sex link to me but I am still new to learning the different breeds. I have 5 of them that look like yours that I hatched from my hens so probably not the same. We mostly raise New Hampshire, RIR, Leghorns, EE's, and Bantams. I...

Hmm, they are only about 10 weeks old, they sure have a lot of comb and waddles to be pullets in my opinion. They have some really long tail feathers too. Not sure of their breed but I think they are cockerels.

Yea at this age with combs like theirs I would have to agree, cockerels.

Sorry to read that you are having a problem with one of your newly acquired hens. I think you should do what they say, just dust her, the other two and your coop. Are you sure your chicken is not just sunbathing? They will lay on their side with a leg extended sometimes in the hot bright sun...

I turned an old metal bunk bed into a brooder. My children used the bed, then my grandchildren used the bed and now my chicken babies use the bed! Used all material I had on hand except the boards for the roof. The lamp is hooked to a bungee cord so I can move it when needed. The floorboards...

Also a New Hampshire roo.

The cone and waddles look like my New Hampshire Roo.

I used a large black trash bag, grabbed the roo by his feet in the bag he went, 55-gallon heavy duty black contractors bag, he immediately calmed down put him in a dog kennel for 5 mins like this, let him back out, no more aggression. The bag was very loose but he did not make a sound or move...

Sorry to hear about your loss, here in SC I had a problem with my guineas just disappearing with not a single trace of feathers or anything pretty sure that was an owl it happened at night, but the Hawks are what we call "chicken hawks" here and there are some feathers left but no bird. Dog...

I love them but live in SC to far away of course.

Oh my goodness, you did have a rough go of incubating eggs but am so happy to read that you did have some success. 2 and 1/2 months into incubating and I have 45 new babies, chickens, guineas and ducks. I restarted one of my incubators on July 4th and the other one on July 9 with hopes of more...
