I just found a Welp hatchery located in Iowa. I'm looking to raise som Rhode island Whites and they have the chicks for sale. Are they a reputable hatchery? Ive never heard of them before.

Happy Hatch success....39 of 39 hatched! Hats off to the Genesis Bator, and of course Rooster Cogburn!

My hens are all brown egg layers, but lately I've noticed that the shell color is bleaching out almost white on most of the eggs. I changed feed a few weeks ago, and started offering oyster shell. could this be the reason(s)?

Just wondering if anyone else has made their own egg candler. I made one tonight out of an old lamp and coffee can. I haven't started incubating any eggs yet, but it looks like it will work ok.

Does anyone have pics of a cross between a RIR Roo, and a Buff Orpingotn hen?... I'm planning on hatching some eggs, and was wondering if that particular cross made for a good laying hen? It seems to me that at the very least it sure would be a nice looking bird.

First time raising Buff Orps....8 weeks old I think it's a roo Do you thinks so too?

Well, the new coop is ready. The new fence is in. The new chicks are in the brooder and we are just waiting for them to get bigger... I'd like to tell everyone that I would not hesitate to order from Meyer Hatchery again. This was the first time I ordered chicks thru the mail, and even though it...

Just about finished with my new chicken coop and I wanted to thank you folks for all the help. I have been quietly checking out all the great coops and runs....Thanks to all! Greggy
