Great thanks! I should've thought. People do mail eggs to hatch so I should've guessed they would be OK. Thanks so much. It was just disappointing to see our last hen get got off the nest. Thanks again!

I had a Bantam hen that was setting on a clutch, eaten by some predator last night She had 14 beautiful eggs under her in the nest. Seems like such a waste. When we found her poof of feathers this morning the eggs were ice cold, or I would've thrown them in our incubator. Can they be eaten? I...

So does setting eggs in the "good days" really make that much of a difference? I just cleaned out my homemade incubator after the first hatch and got 3 out of 6 to hatch and they are doing great and peeping their lil heads off and pooping their lil butts off. I wanna set more so I can replace...

Hi there! I just hatched out 3 lil australorps out of 6 that I set in 4/17 and am cleaning out my homemade incubator to set a dozen more! Prayers that this batch does at least as well as the last! I'm so totally excited that this incubator worked, I wanna set a batch as soon as a batch comes...

We don't keep our eggs in the fridge at all anymore since having a chicken coop. They don't last very long around this house with lil kiddos that love their eggs, lol. Anyway, from my reading on here and in books about chickens, you can leave them 2 weeks so long as you don't wash them. My best...

IT WORKED! I didn't get any reply from anyone about it, but today is day 20 and we have 1 chick so far! My husband was upset to see the thermometer knocked over this morning so we couldn't see what the humidity was to see if we needed to add any more water thru the hose. lol... I was...

Seems no matter the adjustment I make to the water heater thermostat there is a 4 to 5 degree variance btwn the highest and lowest point. The best currently is 97 to 102 since the avg is 99.5, but will this work? I've read so much about keeping temp constant I'm wondering if that difference...

I currently have 15 hens and 1 rooster. 3 hens were given to me recently and they came with a set of worms, that I'm sure has spread to the rest of the flock in the 3 weeks since I first got the new girls. I found a pile of poo with a large worm in it so who know who it came from but I am trying...

Thanks for the recipe. I already have most of that on hand around here so I will have to try it out. :-)

I've been looking in to some sort of homemade mash for my girls since I haven't been able to let them roam as much as I'd like lately, being 9 months preggo myself. Tossing a bowl of scratch and laying pellets has been my hubby's daily doings lately. They also get all our scraps (except for...

I am interested if you still have some available in either March or April- whenever the girls get a chance for us. ;-) We have barred rocks right now and would love some turkeys and these guys seem like they would be a better fit for us than any of the big breeds. Let me know and we can figure...

You're talking about my everyday normal life. :) Frugal makes things easier in a lot of ways. Plus, when you expect the unexpected you're ready for whatever may come your way. Bump for making your own detergents, we do; and our own shampoos, soaps, lotions and such. One of my favorite...
