So one of my hatches just went into lockdown last night and this time I decided to change it up and use cartons (instead of laying them on their side like normal). But one of the cartons has gotten soaked because one of the paper towels in the water wells expanded and is touching the cartons...

I've been thinking it worked like blue(Andalusian) as a black diluter but I've been seeing things where it actually works with white instead? I'm so confused right now.

that hold 42+ eggs, have a good thermometer(or what is a thermometer you use that works?), turners that function properly and of any price range. I'm really wanting to get some eggs shipped in this year but my styrobator doesn't seem ideal for the task.

Alright this is my first time with ducklings and the first duckling was unexpected and I got her some friends today to keep her company. So I have them in a box with a trash bag tacked to the bottom for easy cleaning while they are still smaller, then I'm going to move them to a massive dog...

Please help! I just realized that my chickens seem to have caught some kind of respiratory illness; when I pick up most of them they make a bubbly sound when they breath and I can feel it in their lungs. Then many of them have discharge and dust drying onto their nostrils and when I picked some...

So my understanding is that dun works like blue as a black diluter that has a splash/khaki version, right? Now I've been looking for some bird that carry dun so I can start a dun, khaki, platinum, etc. EE/OE project. But the only LF ones I could find are black, dun and khaki Sumatra; and they...

I have a Farm Innovators Model 2100 Still Air Incubator that I bought used, which I have used for multiple dry hatches over the past few years. My very first hatch 39 chicks out of 42 eggs which I thought was pretty good, but this last hatch was about half of that. I have multiple eggs that made...

So I have a Silverrudd's Blue Isbar cockerel that had silver hackles and saddle feathers and some white or silver feathers on his chest, then I have a couple Gold/Red EE hens and I was wondering if the chicks would be sex-linked or not since he isn't entirely silver.

Lately around the internet I've seen a few ads or people talking about sage eggers, which makes me curious. What are people breeding to create these and does anyone have some egg pictures?

this advice could be for someone who is brooding chicks for the first time or it could just be things you have learned over time. Now I have brooded chicks many times but am looking for some different perspectives on the matter of setting up a brooder since I'm sure many of us are setting up...

I've been looking on the internet for some inspiration for pallet coops, grow out coops, breeding pens, brooders, run frames, etc. Please share pictures of things you have made!

Okay so recently I got a Blue Isbar rooster and had been considering putting him with my BCM hens and pullets once he finishes his time in quarantine. Has anyone else tried this cross and what did they chicks look like when they grew up? And would pullets from this cross lay olive eggs, dark...

The splash(Splash Orp/EE) is throwing me off as it had some obvious brothers and then it's sisters aren't nearly as red in the face. The black one(Birchen Cochin/Bantam PhoenixxOE) is hard to tell with the black comb.

I've been hatching out some chicks from my own flock and am curious to know what color they might lay.

I have some 8 week old chicks that I'm trying to incorporate with my adult flock as they have out grown their brooder and are just a bit smaller then my smallest hens. But I'm concerned as to how I would keep them from eating each others' feed. Does anyone have any ideas of what would work aside...

Sex-links have interested me for a long time, their genetics and colors amaze me in some ways. Now I'm restarting my flock after a dog attack I'd like to make some of my own sex-links, but I want to see some of the pretty and unusual ones. So, does anyone have any pictures of sex-links that...

Okay, so lately I have noticed blood in their poop. And I've had birds fall over dead, some are perfectly fine, some are sick for awhile. Now knowing it is a big deal I switched them over to medicated feed to help keep those who don't have it healthy. But is there anything I could use with just...

Okay, so I have a Giant Black Cochin pullet that is I'm guessing almost 2 weeks old. That I have for a week and 2 days. I have noticed that she doesn't rush over to the food or water like the others after I give them new stuff, she just sits off to the side like she is going to fall asleep. Also...

Okay, so back at the end of November my family and I moved 3 houses up the road to a better house, well I had 17 chickens (14 hens and 3 roosters) and when they were in a temporary coop a dog went through the wall of it and took out all but two of them (one was the least favorite rooster ) they...

I've been looking at doing Worm Composting. And it is all around great sounding so I think I'll give it a try. But, I would like to know if you can use chicken manure and pine shaving in it as that all around would work the best for disposing of it. Also if anyone has some tips or anything...
