    Lost 3 chickens this week to... something?

    My most recent hatching of bantams have this or something similar. I noticed bloody spots on their bedding and I started checking butts. Everything looked normal, but within hours, five were dead. I have now lost 12 chicks. I hatched them and housed them in a sanitized area but something...

    Are you sure that’s their insides or could it be the unabsorbed nutrients from the egg?

    Seramas everywhere!

    Hi All! My old desktop died and I couldn’t figure the phone thing out forever. I’m still raising chickens and now ducks too! I will say this: in my limited experience, chickens are easier to keep alive than ducklings are! Hope I can remember how to get back and comment more!

    It seems I have a lot to learn about incubators. And to think I knew an Amish lady who could hatch them on top of a wood stove...I should have paid better attention. We too have one of those co-operatives. We've yet to get the light bill since plugging up the incubator, but I do expect an...

    I hadn't considered that. We have it in an enclosed outbuilding. There are two windows (which do not open). It is always warm in there during the day due to the sunlight and now that the incubator is turned on, it's very warm. The wife of the fellow we got it from said to NEVER use it in...

    We recently acquired a one owner (he bought it in 2018) gqf 1202E. We have tried for weeks and it will not stay at a constant temperature. We simply cannot get it regulated. Should we simply replace the wafer thermostat or is this a bigger problem. Note: of course the manual that came with...

    I have recently become the lucky owner of six of these beauties. Hoping to hatch enough to re-establish the breed around here. I love to hear them sing.

    If I can figure out google drive, I will share some photos of my Coronation Sussex. I don't seem to see any in the gallery yet. I agree with the above descriptions completely. I love these birds!

    New to Singing Coronation Sussex

    Hello! I've recently become the owner of 6 Coronation Sussex! I fell in love with their quiet gentle nature and just had to bring them home with me. My cock bird is nearly to my knees and my hens are not much smaller than he is. My question is this: Anyone with this breed of chicken (or...

    Of all my hens, these go to a lot of trouble to hide their eggs. When they're running in the yard, I am likely to find them in the flowerbed, under the deck, under a bush ... anywhere but the nesting boxes where the other hens all go to lay their eggs. I tell my husband they're called Easter...

    Intro

    Good morning and welcome Tim. First off, thank you for your service. Secondly ... I'm not sure I could have just 4 chickens. I'd either have to move or be a breaker of ordinances...lol.
