She is and looks healthy. Thank you.

I was just curious if day 16 is unusual and if there is anything I should look for. Thank you.

Yes, absolutely sure. I drove to get the egg, marked the date on it immediately before leaving with black magic marker as I did with the others. I was really surprised it was the first egg to hatch! The person I got it from, took it from the hen as soon as she laid it. She has 2 pure bred...

I had a chick hatch this morning at only 16 days. My Buff Orpington went broody so I went and got 4 fertile eggs from a friend. I clearly marked the 4 with, 6/9/16. Then on 6/13/16 my friend gave me another Americana egg to add to the bunch. I marked it before bringing it home. I added 2...

Thank you! I appreciate the help! Take care, Renee

I opened the windows this morning as the winds settled down. By 2:00 pm the outside temp and inside temp were 34 degrees and the condensation dried up. The roof is peaked north and south side which have 6 inch wide by 9 foot long openings covered in hardware cloth on both sides of the coop at...

Their water is in the run. It's a 3 gallon heated one, so it stays outside. This morning the humistat still is 95% in the coop as it is outside and there is frozen condensation again overnight on the windows. I cant leave the windows open as there are very large (5x4) and it was breezy last...

I live in Northern Michigan. We have had snow since October. Over 55 inches so far. The daily humidity is between 87 and 98 percent. It has dropped down to 2 degrees and will get to 20/30 below by Jan. My coop was a bunkhouse formally and we turned it into a coop last spring when we decided...

I am not sure of my set up. I have no idea if I have DSL or cable. I think DSL as my router does go into my phone line. Check the amazon website reviews. I plugged the camera into my router till I got the wireless signal. Then you pull up the camera to view using your ip address. Mine is...

Wow! That is a lot of hawks! I still have them in the tractor though I did let them out to run a bit yesterday...about 45 minutes with 2 of us out there keeping them together, right by us and looking up the entire time. They must forget or be forgiving as they acted like nothing happened. We...

She is great! Thank you! All her wounds are scabbed over and healing. She is laying and all is back to normal.

Yes, wireless router. Yes, you need a web connection,

I don't have an auto door yet...but its on the list! Hope your camera works as well as mine does, I love it! Let me know how it goes!

Good to hear the girls are ok! Mine have been back in the chicken tractor and hate it. At least they get to eat some grass for a bit and the snow is coming soon. We had an inch yesterday, but it melted this morning with the sun out. Good luck to you!
