I had 5 hatch. Not what I expected, but they are so gorgeous.

I have a little delema. I'm incubating and hatching at the same time. One incubator is incubating and turning, and one is hatching (lockdown). My incubator I'm using for my hatching is broken, the heater won't turn off. I guess the sensor is broken because the temp shows at 91 and my extra...

So I need a fan? I never knew I needed to move them around. I would love to have an 80% hatch rate, but I can't even break 50%. I do learn more and more every time I go through this. I was really looking forward to this hatch because my incubator is nearly full and I fixed one of my incubating...

Having incubator trouble. I got a second thermometer and noticed my temps were 2 degrees too low. I was also told by someone who has the same incubator that they keep theirs at 101 and won't worry about lowering the temp unless it reaches 104 since it fluctuates. Well 102 freaks me out and my...

Yesterday I set 35 chicken eggs (28 Rhode Island Reds and 7 random backyard chickens)

I would love to join with my backyard chickens. I'm anxious to see the colors I get with my white americana rooster.

It has been about an hour and she is breathing, I can't hear her chirping, but she is still alive.

DAY 21: Chick has piped and I left to the store, came back and had yellowish bubbles coming from hole in egg. I immediately assumed it had swallowed liquid from its egg and carefully made hole a bit larger, made sure it's nose was free. Took a dry paper towel and blotted some liquid away. I...

We have a chick today! I will post a picture of where she laid her eggs and suggestions for how I am supposed to make sure these chicks can get to food and water, as she had laid them in the bottom of our feed barrel. I am afraid to relocate her, I would rather take the chicks as they hatch, or...

When I got home from work and checked on mama and there was a dead chick in her nest. I have seen the other hens come in when she leaves and peck at an egg. Should I worry about the other hens or does this occasionally happen. Sorry for all the questions. I just want to be the best chicken nana...

Is there a way to know when an egg is at 18 days? Then I could remove them at that point into another incubator without a turner and up the humidity. I would guess that the oldest egg is 17 days and I have 8 of them.

I have 4 hens and a rooster. All my hens are laying daily. For the first time, one of my hens went broody! We are so excited! I have another hen I want chicks from, so daily as she laid her eggs I would sneek it into the broody hens nest. I expect that since my broody hen started sitting about...
