We have the space for the NJG, just not what we wanted. Kind of frustrating that the feed store is not taking responsibility The same happened for the ISA Browns that Rural King had in their Buff Orpington brooder. At least they gave us 10 Buff Orpington once we mentioned it to the department...

I tried to pick one up but they just ran away. In the midst of the chaos I did see the bottom of their feet and they look yellow. They have black/slate legs so it seems they could be Jersey Giants. Coming from a hatchery we know they will not be breed to standards which may explain the large...

We ordered Barred Rocks, Cream Legbar and Welsummer from our local feed store. They placed the order and we received them the week of April 21. We realized 3 weeks in that the Barred Rocks we ordered are not what we received. (See photo below.). We believe these are either New Jersey Giants...

Yeah! Grow babies grow!!!

So excited for you. Like Hantell I stopped getting notices so did not get your exciting news. I could not even find the thread history. Cute little chickpeas.

Hang in there!

It is a journey…enjoy it!

They are very active chickpeas and duckies. They are getting closer!!!!!

The one with the nice red comb and wattles looks like a cockerel to me. The other a pullet.

Welsummer hens are friendly. Have had a few ornery Welsummer roosters though. Barred Rocks are typically friendly. Best rooster we ever had was a barred rock. Buff Orpington have been congenial. Never trained any as lap chickens though. We have Isa Browns (accident) and Speckled Sussex and...

From our experience they do not. We have seen them eating the ants. Someone may another experience.

12 more days to goooooooooo. Come on little chickpeas!

Hatching eggs is exciting. My first time around I could not stop watching them. After incubating several times it still is fascinating. Wait till they hatch the obsession gets intense. Have fun!

You have a beautiful rainbow of eggs. I believe the hassle may be one reason. Another is they are concerned that some will not stay true to the breeds maybe.

Yup went to Costco and purchased batteries. We keep a pantry of goods for hurricane season. Have propane filled up. Living in FL means you need to keep things on hand. We do not live in a coastal community but we have had damage from storms such as Irma that ran up the spine of the state in...

Some random one. Like others I typically keep my ringer off. I have my Garmin watch connected via Bluetooth so it vibrates when a call, email or text is received. I ignore that a lot too.

I hear you. I was as well. All other hatching experience was using the typical standard of keeping humidity at 50 and raising to 60-70 during hatching. One thing I will mention is I live in FL where humidity is a part of everyday life. The first 18 days the humidity was about 25 to 30%. I...

I did my first dry hatch in a Maticoopx 30 last month. I did not use water in the incubator until day 18 and then I only filled the smallest channel with water. Only time the humidity went up over 50% was when chicks hatched which always brings the humidity up. Some who dry hatch never add...

I am into Adult Contemporary music.

So egg-citing. Can’t wait to hear they are doing the chicken break dance…pipping, zipping and popping.
