So I have a borrowed LG and my temps and humidity are good. I have set 80+ eggs from a variety of sources in my two attempts. Some of the eggs were not fertile so I am okay with those, the rest seem to stop at various stages. What am I doing wrong? Any pointers? I want to try one more time but...

So I am candling my 47 eggs today which should be day 7. Some are just clear so those are not fertile? Some I see a black spot on, that is the eye? I am trying but I just don't see any veining..........I am just hopeless? Surely between these 47 I can get one chick? My temps and humidity are...

My first try was with $80.00 (45 eggs) and NOTHING! I feel like an idiot. So this time, I was gifted with a bunch of eggs as well as 7 from my own for a total of 47 eggs. Set them yesterday and the temp is steady at 100/99 and humidity is 35% in a LG. Please send me good hatching vibes!

I set 45 eggs 18 days ago. I am pretty sure I have done everything right but the candleing thing is driving me nuts. I now only have 5 eggs left that I think might have something in there. The rest were clearly not doing anything. Is this normal or am I a loser of a chicken hatcher?

I just figured out today that these little ones are due on my birthday. Won't that be great?! Anyway they are cuckoo and black cooper marans, buff orps, silkies and EE's and............eekkk frizzles! Send me good hatching thoughts and I will keep you posted. I am terribly afraid that my chicken...

I sent her an email but I haven't heard from her and I see she hasn't posted since Nov. Any thoughts? Michelle

Okay, so Pearl my gorgeous Blue Orpington from Bamachicken has gone broody and Janet was kind enough to give me a dozen eggs to see what Pearl might do. She has been a good sitter, guarding her eggs and sitting patiently. When she got up for some water yesterday, I noticed that the dozen eggs...

I am getting several new babies and I have a desperately broody orpington. What if I put the new babies in the nest box with her? It is warm outside ?????

So for those of you who might not know, Rosie, our silver spangled hamburg had a very bad day last fall. Our roo had demolished her tail feathers and would not give her any rest. We didn't clip her so she could roost in her tree to have a little santuary. Well, on top of it all...the cat...

My Rhode Island Red (6 months)is standing by herself and keeps drooping her head like a baby that is fighting off falling asleep. I felt her all over and don't' feel anything amiss. All the poo I can see looks okay. When I picked her up and turned her over and cradled her, her head dropped all...

These are my 3 week olds. 2 EE's,2 SLW's and 2 silkies. You gotta love the look! PS, we need names. My EE, girl (I hope) Amelia because she just has to fly. She keeps flying out of the brooder when I am feeding and watering. I am on top of the world Ma! We are trying to nap, do you mind?

I have a pair of 6 week old black silkies that I need to rehome. They are just wonderful but one is a male and I cannot do roos and I don't want to break this pair up. They have been wonderful "parents" to the younger babies in the brooder. They put the babies behind them and stand in front. The...

So I am currently working on my website plans and it occurs to me to ask you guys for a little help. I am trying to design a website that is a little different from the current foodie or gourmet websites. If you could design a site you would love to visit and not every time but would buy...

Here are my two new silkies. See the comb on the one on the left? Do I have a roo and a pullet?

I got these from Andy, the chicken whisperer, last weekend. 4 silkies, 2 wyandottes and 2 Amerecaunas. The two black silkies are 5 weeks and are such good guardians for the babies. There are 8 babies in here. The silkies are broody already! Oops, you can see me! All in a row They are...
