Hatched out some eggs over the last couple days. The last two I ended up assisting after finding one chick had already died due to hatching issues. There were 3 other chicks that were all upside down in the eggs and dead, one had a bad leg deformities so it's probably for the best. Both these...

4 weeks old today! They are developong their own personalities and I’m guessing there are more roos than hens. 5-7 are BYM. And yes, I know they are still really young to get an accurate gender. Two EE that I’m guessing both are male. Chick 1, an absolute turd to the others. Chick 2, chest...

Seeing as my last hatch from shipped eggs was only 8/17 of those that made it to lock down I kind of want to compare to non-shipped eggs. I've been contemplating incubating eggs from roadside stalls for a while now after noticing the fertility was pretty good in the last few dozen my dad brought...

This will be a coop build but I'm also looking for some pointers from anyone who has more experience! When my family moved to our current home there was an old chicken coop that had perches and nest boxes but no run to speak of. We built a fence and created a lean-to on the ground at the side...

I assisted one more 3/29 that was stuck and came out with sprawled legs and labored open...

Well I'm ~5-6 days away from welcoming new chicks to the world for the first time. I've always wanted to hatch eggs and finally after slowly getting the family warmed up to the idea of keeping chicken for two years it's happening! I think the main trigger was when some trashy person dumped a...

I am probably getting ahead of myself as I currently do not have any birds (impatiently waiting for eggs to hatch) but I'm trying to plan ahead for when my future chicks are turning into young adults. I fish and hunt a lot so there is often carcasses and scraps of this and that. Chickens will...

Hello, new to chickens so I'm excited to learn more about them! I've always wanted chickens since I was a child and now that I'm an adult and got the $$/space I currently have 15 eggs in an incubator due to hatch in 7 days :D They were purchased on ebay from two separate sellers as I wanted a...
