So my broody hen only hatched 1 successful chick, the other fell out of the nest and didn't make it. I removed the chick into my house after 2 days so it could eat and drink and it's doing great. I don't know if I should reintroduce it to the hen? Her other eggs look like they are not good but...

So I have a group of 6 hens, various breeds and they have suddenly stopped laying. They are all about 2 years old. I free range them around the farm and always give chicken scratch, layena crumble and mixed veggies left from cooking. I found out they were laying eggs up in our hay baler so I...

I've got two more days until Lockdown and I'm concerned about the air cells. Some look normal but some are huge. Not sure if there's much I can do now but maybe I can fix something in the future? There is still movement in all of the eggs.

I have an odd situation. I've been putting my baby chicks in the chicken house at night in a cage to keep them contained. But two nights ago I awoke to a surprise as one cage was completely dead. The heads were wet as if a snake tried to eat them but was too small and killed one after the other...

This is my first time with guinea keets, someone said they could eat chick starter but turns out it's way too low in protien. I started using a new higher protein supplement after a few died, but their still dying what am I doing wrong?

These holes look a little small and haven't progressed in 4 hours. Should I help in a few hours if nothing happens? Just to let a little air in. Many cheeps but not sure which eggs are cheeping. Not sure if these holes are in the right position, air bubble was a good size last candling.

I have to separate two batches into an old incubator so they can hatch at seperate times. This old one is from a friend and said it's set to the correct temp. The actual temp is 95° F and way too low for what I've been doing. How can I fix it? There are no buttons and idk if I can transfer my...

I only just learned about the red ring of death and found one egg that had died. Is it possible to see the ring forming even though the embryo is still moving? I've noticed in a couple eggs some darker veins but still some movement. Could that mean bad news?

I started a batch in the incubator of mixed guinea and chicken eggs at the same time. Both show great signs of growth. What should I do when the humidity increases for the chickens to hatch though? The guinea ones need longer. Any suggestions?

Just got a cheap chinese incubator and the humidity is set correctly but display shows 99% RH. Got a humidity gauge to double check and it has super high humidity inside. Set it to 30% RH and let some fresh air in to see if it would go down at all, but it's still increasing. Any ideas?
