Try the mustard. What I do and it has worked so far. Mix alittle mustard and cayenne pepper or any type off hot pepper into a paste. Use just enough mustard to hold pepper together. Blow out a couple eggs it does not matter if you take the whole end out of the egg off. Fill them up and put...
If I go get a second incubator can I still keep staggered batches going and use the second one for day 18 to hatch. And if I go get anouther incubator it will be tomorrow evening. Do I need to remove water and get humidty down now or wait and add second batch of eggs to the new incubator?
We got our incubatar for christmas. We had been saveing eggs for a couple days and put 18 bb red banty eggs in on the 24. On the 25 we added 9 more black sex links. Then every 4 or 5 days we added 9 or 10 bb red eggs. We candled on day 15 and 16 of the 18 and all 9 sex link egg were fertile...
It would have worked better if you had cut down on the white side and cut the bone out. Then all you have is hide and would have been dried in about 2 weeks.
If you have 5 acres I would say you could get maybe 9,945 more. you have plenty of room to get as many as you want. I have 69 and they do not get very far from roost like earler post said.
It looks good but, not big enough. I know you said you was not going to get more than 5 or 6 but if you are like me we just keep getting more. I started with 7 last March and this morning we are up to 68 and eggs in the incubator. It is a nice coop though.
Look on the bright side. Come easter you will have plenty of practice finding eggs. With my kids we have to practice a couple days before the big day of hunting eggs.
My daughter has a hen that we raised from day old chick. It started laying today and we were wondering what it would hatch if we put it with or black gaint rooster or with a barred rock rooster? The man we bought it from said it was a wyandotte it is white with a few black spots on a couple...
We were wanting to buy some chicks from hatchery and wanting bantys. Is bantys the same as batams? Do we need to go ahead and order now are can we wait till spring? thanks
I had 2 banty eggs hatch after a week one died. The second chick chirped and chirped after I took the dead one out. I had to get up at 2 in the morning and put a stuffed santa in with it. That did it ; it shut up climbed on top and went to sleep. Three days later and we don't hear a peep now...
I have access to hotdog and hamburger buns that is a couple of days old. I was pinching up and feeding 2 or 3 packs a day ( chickens loved it). I also feed laying mess crumbles and scratch grain. I was not getting any eggs and I thought hens should be laying. Someone told me bread was a no no...
I know a chicken layes one egg a day and may lay 12 to 14 eggs before she starts setting. So that is 12 or 14 days out but does anybody know how much long they can set out before setting?
