If these waterers aren't fairly level they leak -- that's pretty obvious. We don't have a lot of flat level spots in our chicken areas, so decided to hang our waterers and let gravity level them...
I bought and installed several of these at one time and they all leaked right away. I removed one and took it back to the feed store where I bought it to ask for advice, and was told I wasn't the...
I have three White Chanteclers. The oldest one, Cottonball, is the head hen of our flock and is smart and kind. Our other two hens, Aurora and Borialis, are docile and lay many eggs, and are good...
I have had 3 Ameracanas and they have all been rather skittish - however, my most recent one is not nice at all!
As a matter of fact, her main goal is to walk around and PECK any other hen that...
Today is hatch day for me too. I set the eggs at 2ish PM, so I don't expect them to do anything until after then. Hopefully I end up with some chicks since it seems like everyone is having such a hard time.

Good luck everyone. Thinking fuzzy thoughts!!!

Today is day 23 for two of my eggs and day 22 for one, and day 21 for the other. Had a lot of rocking from one of my day 23 eggs so hopefully that little guy will hatch soon!!
Ohmy. It seems everything has gone wrong with this hatch. Just come out to check the babies and my light bulb blew. temp was down to 72 so it had to have done it after 8 am this morning. Ugh. Babies are still moving though thank god!!
Still nothing going on with my eggs I haven't noticed any rocking, but I'm not sure that I will anyway since I'm hatching in cartons this time. Can you still see them move in the cartons? I *think* I heard some scratching/tapping, but my bator is styrofoam, so the sound I heard could've been my frizzy hair brushing against the incubator
Guess I'll have to wait and see what tomorrow brings, bummer

So I went to do a quick candle of the eggs that are suppose to hatch today. And as I was checking them I found one pipping!! So far some of them look okay. But with the luck I've been having I will just be happy if any more hatch.
