Gretabee........ My chicks were broody hatched about 4 weeks ago and mom had them outside for the day at 3 days old. When I bought them from the hatchery, I had them outside in the coop without a heat lamp at about 3 weeks old. At that age, at night when it cools off they are sleeping in a...

For those of you who provided me with eggs........and those who just like pics of chicks. I don't think any of these are Ashley's I think I ended up with 3 of Steve's and 3 of Wendell's. Can't see these too well, but I think all 3 chicks are Wendell's. 1 female and 2 males? I think...

Well, so my hatch is over. First chick about 7 am Monday morning. Last chick late Monday evening. Of the 11 eggs she was sitting on, 6 hatched. I took pictures, but, lol, just realized I have no idea how to get them from my cheapo phone to my laptop. My best guess as to whose eggs...

So my one remaining broody is sitting on 11 eggs. Looking for hatch to start Monday, maybe Tuesday as the first day I gave her eggs she was a little unsettled from being moved, and the other broody was with her and causing quite a disturbance. I havent candled cuz I don't know how or even what...

I'm feeling pretty sorry for my one remaining broody. The rest of the flock seems to have taken a disliking for her. When she comes out for her daily dustbath they pounce on her every time she settles down and peck at her constantly. One of the girls is a lot more aggressive and I have seen...

Well after hustling around getting fertile eggs for my two broodies (thanks to Ashdoes, euarto gullible and Wendell), I tacked the difficult task of moving my broodies from where they were (an elevated nest box) to where I WANTED them to be. I divided the eggs up and penned them in an area on...

TADA - Once again i have a couple of girls who have gone broody, a SS and a BA. So, I am looking to pick up 6-9 fertilized eggs so I can let them hatch some. I deliberately did not buy chicks this year cuz I knew I wanted to do this. I'm not particularly picky about breeds, except that I do...

Samsr, just a FYI. If you are interested in the Elizabeth Geese that are coming in, call them. They will reserve however many of the geese you want out of their next order, AND call you when they come in.

I see BYC has found a way to get in more advertising and decrease the space used by us chickeneers.

Wendell so glad to read about your hatch. Hoping the next 40 goes even better. All you guys hatching eggs is driving me crazy. I am hoping one of my hens goes broody soon (altho past history says it won't be til fall). Then I'm gonna try to find 6-8 fertile eggs somewhere to put under...

For those of you already experiencing the first flush of chick fever.....this is always fun to look at. From an email I received today. Reserve your 2014 Spring Poultry Now! Chicks will start arriving February 7th see schedule below...

Grrrr double post stupid puter operator

I live in Cheyenne, WY but am willing to drive up to CO springs to pick up. Sorry I can't help you, but hopefully some of our peeps in the loveland/Greeley are can. They are much closer than we are. I have the same problem you do, no rooster. Next spring I will be looking for some eggs for my...

Spent the day yesterday doing the fall transfer of the deep litter in the coop into the garden so the girls could til it in before next spring. Then I loaded up the coop with 4 extra large bags of sof Well, the girls seemed to be quite suspicious of the new landscaping in their coop, wouldn't...

Thank You Lord

HELP! My neighbors bought their 15 year old son an American Pitbull Terrier (a true bluenose). Turns out neither the son, nor the family have the time nor the inclination to spend the time necessary to train him, so now they are about to surrender him to the Humane Society. He is now 6...

I don't have any down here in the Springs. Might I suggest that this time of year would be a great time to also buy a pumpkin and feed them the whole thing, seeds and all. I understand pumpkin seed are a good dewormer, altho I don't know if it works on all kinds of worms. Someone more...
