    I've had my babies since July 2013 and I wanted to review them right away but made myself wait til they got older and personalities had really developed. They are now 6 months old and I am just as happy today with them as I was the day they arrived from the hatchery. They are super healthy, easy...

    Eeks, question about washing eggs for incubation

    We had a dozen eggs sitting in a carton and they were accidentally knocked down. Several broke into the carton and of course got on other eggs. I know we aren't supposed to wash the eggs because of the protective coating but is there anything we can do to salvage the other 9 eggs? Or.......is it...

    Hatcheries

    Yes, they're website looks great but it is so aggravating to move around in now that I'm not certain how much I care about the prices anymore. I literally work at least 12 hours a day and that's not including feeding, watering, gardening and spoiling the flock.........I just do not have time to...

    I was not a chicken person til these I got a group of 5 of them. A Roo and 4 hens. As soon as I saw the Rooster, I named him Fabio because that's exactly what he reminded me of. A big guy with long golden locks! He was as sweet as he could be. never an aggressive move even though he didn't know...

    Hatcheries

    I am considering ordering from Ideal but I am worried about shipping and the lack of an email address at which to contact them if my phone signal is being stupid. Before they changed their shopping cart it would give no shipping charge at all, now it says it's $2 which I highly doubt. I flat...

    Mosquitos and other pests?

    I haven't figured out how to eradicate the mosquitoes yet, but I did cut them down in a big way. I stuck whole cloves in oranges and lemons and then cut the fruit in half and hung a couple inside the coop and a few outside of it. (All outside the chickens reach) That helped a lot! Then I planted...
