I am in Glenn Co. With gas pricesnit isn't worth your time to travel very far to make a sale, so I was hoping maybe you'd have some reason to be closer. I am wondering how far I can convince my husband to travel for roosters. How much are you asking for the Polish and the Orps? I have a cuckoo...

You aren't planning any trips further north any time soon are you?

Gorgeous chocolates and Polish!

I have one early bird Australorp that has decided to pip dead center of the egg. Auugh! None of the others have even pipped internally yet. I hate when they don't pip by the book, it makes me nervous.

Welcome to chickens! Black Australorps are some of the absolute best chickens around, in my opinion, and are gorgeous with thier sheen-covered black plumage.

@ronott1 I LOVE the BBS Australorps you have still.

I love the girls I have hatched from Trader Joe's eggs, and the boys made good soup.

I absolutely love mine. I have a bigger incubator now, but I would rather hatch in smaller batches just to use the Brinsea. Well, I may be getting a chicken-related divorce. I have a newborn with blood sugar issues who has to nurse every hour and a half on the dot, but through hustling and...

It sounds like she had bad fluid build up in her lungs, and some in her heart. Her kidneys and heart are both remarked on as being very pale. I am not a vet or doctor, but I know that kidney and heart problems can lead to fluid accumulating in the lungs.

Thanks, I'll keep you in mind if the cockerel doesn't work out. That is very nice of you, but right now her dad has agreed to chickens that are laying or just about ready to. They live in town so they can't have a rooster.

I'm also on the 'year of the rooster' train. I am saving some space in freezer camp. I FINALLY got a few female silkies, and that used up my girl luck for the whole summer, I guess. I also have a Welsummer cockerel from Tractor Supply (and I am not planning on breeding them, so he is gonna go to...

I am brooding a couple now to test out, and after every other chick figured out how to escape the brooder those two would sit inside cheaping plaintively for all their vanished buddies. No reaction to new food items unless there is another bird there to try it out and then they will get that it...

Are they the Marans eggs? Marans eggs are extra nerve wracking to hatch because they are so dang hard to see into! On the up side, all the Marans I have dealt with have been really vigorous chicks right out of the shell. Good luck!

Hi!We are in the same county!

Euthanizing the babies is hard, but you have to use your best judgement about how much they are suffering and the quality of life they might end up with. Sorry about your incubator issues hope you get them sorted. I agree with you on helping the ones that have fight in them. It can be a useful...

My birds get plain rolled oats made into oatmeal as part of a morning mash when it is really cold, and sometimes I will toss out just the uncooked oats instead of scratch. The birds love it, it is a pretty healthy treat or supplement.

Holy moly, how have I never seen that thread? I am also a reptile fanatic, so I want to order a dozen at that price! I just blew my luxuries budget on a nice fish tank I'd been saving up for so I settled for just one (for now). Thank you for posting the link! I use the sending-myself-a-text...

That looks really nice for that price!

You are truly lost now . Welcome to the madness, hatching chicks never gets old. What kind of incubator did you get? I knew better than to trust myself, so I got the smallest one that was high-quality. I do well not wanting to set eggs all the time, but when I do decide to set them I am always...

STOP MAKING ME WANT PITA PINTAS! Seriously, though, I am sorry to hear about your brother-in-law's problems. I'm glad the flock took the survivor back in so readily. I've been away from the board because I have been busy with two chicken disasters. I am super paranoid and never let my...
