Hopefully all is going well. I have an automatic pump and I DO NOT fill the reservoirs with water at all. The automatic pump is more than efficient. Good luck with your hatch.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I was just gifted this beautiful rooster. The owner couldn't keep him because of a cranky neighbor (even though roosters are allowed where she lives). Anyway, I had intended him for my stewing pot until I saw him. He is absolutely huge and gorgeous and I didn't have the heart to send him to...

This is what my husband built for me. It works very well and there is no waste. Also he used the cheaper drain pipes rather than PVC. The whole thing cost less than $20 and when I fill it up with food, it lasts almost 2 weeks for 11 chickens.

Congrats on your purchase. I definitely had problems setting up myself and not much sympathy from the Brinsea customer service but, once I set up the first one, I had no problems setting up the next one. It is a little tricky and I wish Brinsea would make a how-to video. That being said...

How much?

Wow - that was quick. How much do they sell them and what breeds do they sell?

Very nice. I want those chocolate eggs. Which hens lay them?

That's good. My chickens are behind my garage too and my husband constantly complains of flies, even though I clean a lot. I blame the dogs for the flies myself LOL

Gorgeous girls. Do they lay different colored eggs?

How do you deal with the flies with the coops being so close to your house? Where in So. Cali are you? Your chicks are beautiful.

Hi there, I just set 28 eggs in my incubator right now. I always have my temp at 99.5 degrees and humidity at 45%. I don't raise the humidity until lockdown and then I set it to 65-68 (depending on how many eggs I'm incubating). I always have good hatches. I have even better hatches now that...

Also, as an aside, my chickens are never sick, have had no diseases and I have never medicated them so I personally would never feed anything other than organic. The price I pay is worth not having to pay a vet's bill.
