Egg candling certification anxiety! In 2 weeks I'm taking the state test for egg candling to get certified to candle eggs. In the meantime I'm studying up and learning about how an egg is graded and what an eggs various makeup and flaws consist of. But I cant help but be nervous about preparing...

Hi everyone! It's been a long while since I was on this site, I've missed it. But finally was able to get back on! So here I go! So ever since last year and the pandemic and all the shortages I've been seeing in the world around me, I've been concerned about where my food comes from and...

Hi everyone, Due to my original rooster's decline in health, I've recently added one of his offspring to my Orpington pin. I also recently acquired some new hens to replace my older ones in order to help switch up the bloodline, and I'm currently also hunting some good English hens to...

I've been searching and sending PM's in hopes of finding some fertile hatching eggs or little chicks of mahogany faverolles, but so far I haven't found any available yet. And I am not willing to take a chance and break the bank on Sandhill farm's since I have read some real bad things about...

Hi everyone I am currently planning on adding a pretty little raised flower bed around my coop. I don't want to plant anything poisonous or harmful to my chickens in this bed. But I am a little limited as to what I can plant in mine because of how much shade it gets. I am thinking of going with...

I can't hardly wait! I have ordered 1 salmon faverolle rooster and 6 hens from Meyer and this will be my first time experience with this beautiful French breed. I have loved and wanted this breed of chicken since the first time I saw it and read about it in Murray Mcmurray's catalog and that was...

Hello everyone on BYC, I have a nice looking rooster that was hatched out last spring by one of my orpington hens. He has a compact tail unlike his dad who is older and has a few trailing feathers, so I was considering him for breeding. My only problem with him is that his comb is huge! I don't...
