Thank you again for all the warm correspondents. I put her to rest in an avocado grove next to the house. It seems like a peaceful spot to rest. The other hen seems to be doing ok. She's always been a little kooky and eccentric. It's cute, she rolls around in the dirt everyday, and when I go to...

Seminole, I'm thinking it was mareck's. Being as the farm I got them from kept them as meat birds and slaughtered them pretty young, I don't think they kept up with vaccinating their birds. I'm having a bad week with my pets. My favorite hen passed on and the out of the 5 eggs I set, from...

:( Thank you all so much for the awesome advice and the support. The day before yesterday she was doing so much better. She was trying to sit up and didn't look as frail. I was really thinking that she was gettin better. Unfortunately, I found her dead today. By the looks of things she...

I purchased her and her sister from a farm nearby that sells chickens for food. When I got her she was about two months shy of paying her first egg. Is there anything that I can do if it is Marecks?

Oh no!

Today's update: She seems to be in good spirits still. Every time I come into the room where she's at, she starts cooing. From what I can tell there are no other symptoms. She is missing some feathers on her underside, but I'm not really sure if that is due to her broodiness or otherwise. She's...

Did you check it's vent to make sure it isn't pasted up?

Also I forget to mention, her legs are poined straight out and kinds locked in that position. She can't seem to bend them.

Just an update. She can't walk at all now. Or stand or sit for that matter. It seems her legs aren't cooperating. She's got a healthy appetite. It just seems to be her legs. Thanks for the advice, I tried to readjust her tendons. No difference though. She seems to be paralyzed.

I've decided to change my thread to better explain what I see happening to my girl. Shes my favorite hen. I only have two and i really favor this one. Shes got a sweet disposition. During the day she normally sits close to the back door so she can aatch me go about my day inside and then she...

I'm right there with you. We have a massive generator and I WILL be running it to keep my eggs warm. Unless there is some alternative method of incubation.

I'm excited I get to share the experience with you folks. I'm at day one headed into day two and I've lost one egg already. After five hours in the incubator it started oozing and as the time progressed, the spots it was oozing from increased. I was thinking of sending off for more eggs, just to...

Thanks for the warm welcome. You definitely hit the nail on the head, I've been super nervous and it's only day one. I'm afraid of drowning the little guys in their own shells, due to high humidity. here are so many different views on the topic. Problem is, the area where i live is so humid...

Its my first set. I've been maintaining 100-101 in my still air incubator and my humidity is at 54-56%. The Temperature fluctuates throughout the day, in the house,i figured the garage would have a more constant temp and i put the incubator in there. Problem is, I live in super humid Florida...

Its my first set and I'd love to join as well. I'm setting in forty five minutes. I've got two Australorpes, two Silkie, and two Barred Plymouth Rocks. I've been maintaining 100-101 in my still air incubator and my humidity is at 54-56%. Is 56% ok?

Awesome. I found out my local feed store sells that brand of incubator. Thank you for the advice. I'll let you know how it goes.

So, one of my girls is broody and I ordered eggs that I was going to sneak into her nest. Problem is, she seems to have abandoned her nest. I need some advice as to which incubator has the best hatching rate. I'd appreciate your input. Thanks

Wow! Thanks for the warm welcome from all over the globe. Im glad I found others that are as excited about our feathered friends as I am.
