A friend asked me today if I had ever heard of a way to make an old rooster be more fertile. I dont think that there is anything that can be done to help him out but I just thought Id ask. Anybody got any ideas? He said this rooster was a great one and wants offspring from him so he will try...

one of my hen has been loosing her feathers out of the back of her head. I dont think anyone else has been pulling them out because she doesnt have sores or bleeding so im not sure what has been going on. The problem is jus getting worse. She is getting a little more bald every day. this has...

A few weeks ago I noticed one of my hens eating a feather that was laying on the ground. I thought she jus happened to see it and picked at it then jus ate it for no reason. Then 2 days ago I was in the coop with them when the rooster bred one of my black orps. and he pulled out like 6 or 7...

My hen was trying to fight another hen though the fence a few months ago and messed up her bottom beak. I thought it would heal up and return to normal. That didnt happen. The bottom half of her beak is nearly flat and a little shorter than it should be and the top part has grown longer and is...

probably about 2 months ago i hatched 5 chicks. I have 3 of them left, but yesterday I went out to the pen and one of them had a hurt leg. It looks like splayed legged chick looks but it has been fine until yesterday. Also one of my other hens got out a while ago and tried to fight another hen...

oh my gosh!! Im so happy! my eggs hatched yesterday and today!5 of the 6 of the first bunch i put in hatched. im not so sure about the other 6 because of the staggered days. plus the chicks that hatched first rolled the other eggs all around in the bator. They were climbing and falling all...

This is a bit harder than I thought it would be. I was trying to take part of my egg turner apart so i would have room on the bottom for the first eggs to hatch, and the eggs rolled out of it. they didnt fall hard but they rolled around on the screen bottom. the temperature dropped to like 80...

The people in the chat said i should ask you this: I put 6 eggs in my incubator 6 days ago. without thinking, i put 6 more in 2 days ago. Now the hatch times will be different. How will i keep from cooking and drowning the ones i put in last when the first ones begin to hatch? Keeping...

Yay! I finally got an automatic egg turner today! Its great except there are a few things Im not too sure about. I have been turning my eggs by hand with them laying on the wire screen in the bottom of the bator. Is it going to affect the outcome of my hatching if i go ahead and put them in...

I haven't done this yet. . . . tho I have to admit I have been thinking about it. If I put food coloring in my water bowls or in the food will it change the color of my eggs? I thought it would be super cool if my hens could lay eggs that are pre-dyed for Easter. I know this sounds kind...

Hi everyone! I'm really new to trying to hatch eggs and there are a few things that I'm not quite sure about. Mainly the temperature. I bought a still air incubator and a digital hydrometer. I cannot get my temperature to sit at 99.5. Its always one degree higher or lower. Is this ok or will...
