It is not a brand name one. Just a small one for a class project. I put it in on 1/23 and it is calibrated. I have been turning it 3-4x a day. I also have an extra thermometer and hygrometer in there and humidity has been 60-70 and temp 38 C

If it does not hatch in 23 days, do you open it up? What are you looking for if you do?

I am on day 21. It is a bantam mix. The embryo was moving day 17, couldn't tell at day 18 if it was moving. Nothing happened and today is day 21. I candled and couldn't tell if there was movement. The egg itself is not moving. Temp has been 37.5 humidity around 70. Shouldn't the egg be...

Did this look like a quitter? Looking different today.

I just wanted to give an update. The chicken is doing great. Wound healed over and the feathers are almost back to normal! She is back in the run and back to bossing all the other ladies around. Also, she got really spoiled for a few weeks and now thinks she is entitled to meal worms on the...

Thank you all for the answers. I put her in a box with some gatorade water. Her injuries are now 1 week old and she seems to be ok. The big one on her back is so deep. She spent many days in her nesting box with her own food and water. I keep her away from the flock bc the rooster keeps trying...

HI, A coyote grabbed one of my chickens, let it go immediately, but she has a chunk missing out of her back. What is the best way to care for the wound?

9 hens....I think are hens lol

Can two roosters lives together, or will there always be fighting?

I am pretty sure the big white one is a rooster, but I am not sure. One day he tripled in size, he just doesn't crow. He is 4 months old. The brown one just started looking roostery to me, he is a little younger than the white one. He has blue tail feathers too and a more prominent comb. Can...

Hello, I am new to chickens. I only have three hens. Is there a reason to have a rooster? If you have a rooster do you keep him with all the hens, or do you have to separate them? Do you still collect eggs each day? How often will the rooster be mating with the hens? Any advice on the advantages...

Thank you. I will see what I can find!

Ok, its a girl. But we just got chickens and the kids have imprinted on them :) Will she have to be butchered or will she be able to keep growing and her legs and heart will be ok. Just started homesteading and I cant kill anything yet (besides snakes)
