We just got 5 baby Sapphire Gems on Friday and got 4 Easter Eggers on Sunday from tractor supply. (They'll be the first chickens we've ever owned so joined BYC to get in contact with more experienced owners) They were all in the same bin and we couldn't resist going back to get the Easter Eggers...

After 2 years of research, this year I made the move. I have 8 layers that I purchased as 12-14 week olds. I let the ladies run free on my northern Ontario property daily under the protection of my 2 dogs. Although sometimes 1 or 2 are reluctant to return to the run and coop in the evening, I...

Hello everyone! Long story short, I ended up with some duck eggs that were about to hatch. I have never hatched anything from an egg in my life. They pipped but within 48 hours there had been no progress, however there was peeping and movement within the eggs. I ended up creating holes from the...

Hey everyone! I am brand new to owning chickens. I moved to north Georgia a year ago... And once I found out I can have chickens, I was on the path! To be able to have free range eggs from my backyard seems amazing! I just got in 10 hen "colored egg layers" from TSC that I would appreciate...
