Hopefully this is a simple question. Lol. Seems when I hatch 8 to 12 eggs they all hatch maybe except for one. Put in 22 and only 14 hatched. Because there more eggs should I up the humidity at lockdown more so when they r only 8 or 10 eggs?

Had a hen yesterday all of a sudden couldnt breathe. Thought maybe it was gap worms. Died today. Was only 5 months old. I did an autopsy and this is what i found. No worms. But look at all the fat inside. Is this cancer?? Bottom left is her gizzard. Covered in what looks as fat. Trying to figure...

Noticed the other day a hen wasnt right. So I pulled her of the pen. After 3 days found her dead this moring. I cut her open and yellow and dark green liquids ran out of her. Everybody else just fine. She was only 5 months maybe. Leghorn.

I feed my roosters 20% meat bird maker. I noticed the dumor chick starter/grower is 20% too. Could I just feed it to the roosters too? Its all 20% feed.

She was a 1 year old hen. No sign of sickness at all. She was big fat and running around. (Except she would drop eggs on the ground and had a lot of soft eggs) This morning I went to feed them and she was laying in the hen house dead with a soft shelled egg right by her. I cut her open and she...

I have a rooster and a hen that are not right. Here's what they don't have: Runny Nose, Sneezing, Coughing or smelly head. What they do have: Head shaking Beak stretching (Not gasping) Tail feathers rough SLEEP ALL THE TIME!!!!! I already have treated with Tylan 50, Valbazen and Ivomec...

I have 2 or 3 hatchery Light Brahmas that are sleeping all the time. Like all day. No runny nose, sneezing, coughing. Butts are clean. Crop empty. Probably just eating and drinking enough. Found round worms in a pile of poo a few weeks back. Been around 2 weeks or so since I dewormed them with...

I found these and been doing some research. I think these are very interesting looking birds. I may have to try to breed some of these. I have HRIR, will need to get some Barred Rock hens. I read they don't breed true back with themselves. You can also feather sex them when they are young. Like...

I have a hen that the last few days have not been moving around. All she does is just lay there. She's not sick in the sense of the word. No cough, sneeze, runny nose or swelling eyes. A few weeks ago I treat all my 1 1/2 year old hens for mites/worms. With Ivomec. Plus dusted them twice for...

I switched feed (Production Reds) on them this fall. Went from laying feed, because of the 2 roosters in there, to Purina Flock Raiser. All of a sudden I noticed this week that there eggs are getting smaller. So I'm going to switch back to the Purina Laying feed. Maybe just the winter months...

This is for people that lay there eggs on there sides at lock down. During hatch do you leave your hatched chicks with the unhatched eggs. I was so paranoid after one would hatch this last time I took them out probably too soon. I just didn't know if them running around in there knocking all the...

Well my second attempt! 8 out of 9 eggs hatched. All hatched a day early. Today is hatch day but all hatched yesterday. Not with some stress and excitement though. My RIR/EE mix was the first to pip but after 2 eggs hatched I thought there was something wrong. So I took the egg out and sure...

Yes or no is all I need. If thermometer is off 3 degrees to the high side (says 100 but is actually 103) will that kill chicks at around 7-10 days. Busted a few eggs open that died. Kidney bean or so in size and an eyeball.

I have a used plywood homemade incubator. The temp is as stable as can be. But I am having a lot of trouble getting the humidity up in this. Any ideas on what I can do. Such as paint the inside, use that foil backed insulation etc. I changed from a 8x10 plastic pan to a 9x12 metal pan. It raised...

Quick run down. I already have an area for my production Reds. 20 more eggs in the bator. Need to double my egg out put. Getting 10 Heritage RIR's, 25 Heritage Delawares and 25 good bloodline Light Brahmas. Which will all have there separate areas for breeding. So I'm going to need a juvenile...

Anybody ever order from CountyLineHatchery.com. Was think of getting some light brahmas from them. Thanks

Reading about humidity levels. Everything I read including on here is different. Some say 50. Some say 85-87. Some say 60-65. What is it????

Was wondering if anybody know a breeder for these. I just read so much about the size difference from all these hatchery's that I don't think I want any of those. Looking for a good bloodline so I can raise them around here. Thanks

Looking for 15 chicks!!! Live in SC. Don't look at price, just put something there.
