Hi folks. I had a late chick hatch, 3 days behind the others. I put him in the brooder and the other two are chasing and pecking :/
I've separated the brooder in half. Will they be okay in a couple days or will I have to permanently keep them separate?
Hi all :)
I *thought* my eggs were from my battery hens x my rooster. None of which have feathers on their feet.
One chick that hatched yesterday is a feather foot. Is it possible to get feathered feet if parents don't?
I have a black hen with feathered feet. Wondering if she is actually the...
So it's day 21 here today for 5 of my eggs.
No movement, nothing at all. Very paranoid that they aren't going to hatch at all, this is my first ever try.
How many days over should you let them go before throwing out?
I spotted one pipping at approx 4pm. Went in half an hour later and another one was too
. The second one is now out, but the first one still only has a tiny hole?
Had a bit of a surprise yesterday when I looked in the bator and this little fellow was out. Two more left in there, hope they hatch to :)
How long do they need to be under lights for?
Hi everyone, I've just had a chick hatch at day 18. Put in on 23rd Oct.
I was going to buy lights in a few days time when I got paid, I thought I had enough time!!
A bloke on my local poultry page has said he uses normal 100w lights. Would this be sufficient until I can get something?
There...
Hi all! Had a bit of a situation this morning.

My dear old 3 and a half year old hen had clung on under his ute for 60km! Mostly rough dirt road
Betty is fine...
