OK, so then I must be confused as to what dry incubation is. The big wig chicken farms do a full humidity that last the first 3 days or so of incubation, at which point they cut the humidity off. Only to increase it again at 18 days. The people that try to do the same thing, that have the best %...

#1 I should have done what is called a dry incubation. Adding max amount of water to start, and not adding any more until day 18. #2 I am too hotttt! All people with better than 75% success do 99 in still air, not 102 or better. We ran 102 in the one she made, but lesson learned. Not all...

ok... and if you do not mind, since this thread is started... I did not buy pullets, just chickens. Egg layers for sure, but not sexed. So... I have not identified any roosters yet... however, yesterday I heard that classic morning chime... do all chickens do that? or just roosters?

Ok, so does the molting only happen to the older chickens? They are all what I would consider full grown. 5-6 months ish. I guess I should pay more attention to the actual age, but that is a rounded number I am comfortable with. It has been 2 months since we have been here, so I am sure they...

My question is about why my chickens are not laying not even a single egg. The story is this... We live in northern michigan, and have just moved to a larger, much larger, farm. We had our own chickens that were about 2 months old 15 or so, and they had some about the same age about 12, and 2...
