Hello, I recently bought some ayam cemani eggs and got them in the incubator, and when I candled them I saw two distinct chicks forming. (have been hatching chicks for years I am SURE there are two in here) I only have one other viable egg from this order so I REALLY want at least one of the...
Hello, Last year my R-com 50 stopped heating, (digital display, fans, humidity all still work fine) but it was towards the end of the season so I just stopped using it. Anyways just brought it in and examined it and it looks like part of the circuit board literally burned out. Any Idea if this...
This thread will be reviewing the new Rcom pro10 the first time I use it. I will try to update daily, but at least whenever something interesting happens.
Some cool features:
1. I can just pick which type of eggs I am incubating (turkey, duck, chicken, quail) and it will set the proper temp...
the door to my coop is hard to latch due to swelling, so i have to give is a pretty good slam to get it to latch and a hen tried to squeeze through right as i closed it. her beak has a crack in in and there is a little blood coming out of her nose and she threw up (or whatever its called when a...
title says it all, for the past three days (egg on the far right is full sized for scale) I have gotten these tiny yolk less eggs in a top nest box- so that rules out my silkies. besides the silkies all my birds are standard size so I was wondering if that is ok? or if my feed is lacking...
Hello, I wasn't sure if this belonged in emergencies or in hatching eggs, but i thought I would try here first. The title is slightly misleading I didn't drop an egg, I was candling an egg before putting it into lockdown and for some reason it cracked terribly. I think there mist have been a...
Hello, I recently purchased an R-com 20 and once i figured out how the eggs went in the turner (flat on their sides, not big end up like usual) i got them all situated, and when i heard the little tune it plays when it turns the eggs i went to see how they did. my bigger ones are all turning...
free roosters- I would prefer they went to pet homes but beggars can't be choosers so if you are going to eat them please don't tell me about it. ( I raised all these guys from chicks and hand feed them each morning) One frizzle mix is possibly a female- never seen him/her crow or pretend fight...
one of my breda fowl got stuck in his coop- the roost has little spaces between the slats (small spaces I have no idea how this happened) and he got his foot stuck in it and when i found him he was hanging upside down! i got him out and he is eating food and water but he is covered in his own...
these little guys just hatched this morning! super cute and tiny!
a pic of the parents
and a pic of a chick I hatched earlier this year so you can see just how tiny they are.
Too many roosters! free to good homes... i would prefer if they were not eaten please.
roosters, mottled frizzle cochin, silkie mixes, islandics, and a frizzle

ok so here is a weird one... at least to me, maybe I have just never heard of it before, My guinea hen usually lays one egg a day. she is the only guinea hen I have and she is in with my chickens. last week she skipped a day but the next day there were two eggs, I assumed she just laid one later...
so i got some showgirl eggs shipped to me, and once i had them incubating for a while i candled them and noticed they were all developing with that "saddle shaped air cell" so i read up on it and when it came time for lockdown i put them upright in egg cartons, i had marked the air cell to check...
accidentally got these from a hatchery instead of what i ordered, (we got it all cleared up ) anyways they said they were bielefelders but i think they look more like rhodebars. any opinions?
Hello,
I am sure this question has been answered on here before but I can't seem to find it. I have some chicks that were born 2/20 so they are not quite a month old yet, but they are getting big and stinky and I would like to move them outside pretty soon. my problem is I live in NH and it is...
there is one dang chick that INSISTS on pushing all the food out of the feeder and taking a very wasteful dust bath! i cant make her stop and she is wasting all the food!! any suggestions? she literally pushes out the food then shimmy shakes it off the floor until it has all fallen through to...
This is a showgirl chicken that i got for free- yes yes i know it is a terrible quality, red skin, color, and odd feathers everywhere, but it is so sweet I love it anyways. I guess my question is - is there some frizzle in there too (mostly i ask because the lady i got it from has frizzles and...
Hello,
just found this egg this morning and I am wondering what the bumpy substance is? I can scratch it off- it is just weird and I want to make sure it isn't anything bad
