I knew I couldn't be the only one who wants cameras in the coop to see who is laying what. Thank you for making me feel normal again.

Sweet! Now I know what my next project will be... coop cameras!!!

Morning everyone, our chicks are due tomorrow and I'm super pumped!! Last question before I start this new chapter of raising chicks and chickens.

So after looking at the gloomy cold weather I've decided to raise my chicks inside, in a brooder and not outside with the flock. It's just to cold out I think for the cute little guys.

Now should I be okay bringing in the hen as well for the first two weeks, then placing her back outside with her flock?

 

[Sally Sunshine]

Does anybody know of a good app or spreadsheet for keeping track of what chicken is laying??
Do they make something like that?
All three of my hens are laying now, and I caught Greyling on the nest today so I can finally tell her eggs apart from Girlfeathers. Yippie!

I see they gotcha with that ap!

I think a bunch of us have eggs sitting in there brewing, not much to discuss with mine, they still look like eggs and all seems stable

@Saris
someone needs a lesson on shipping, you all need to ask how you want your eggs and its worth it to pay a bit more to get them

Thank you!!! Yes... I didn't want to ask questions when I didn't have anything as exciting going on as you all did. If something curious came up, I'd consult the very thing you've quoted me here when you'd point someone else to it.... As for Gotro17- it's phonetic for my maiden name, and 17 was my jersey number in college (Hint: Fight On!

)... My name is Shellee- so nice to meet you all. Praying for not too tattered air cells, for sure. We've been running the bator and the temps and humidity have been perfect and steady. I took out the turner and cut holes in the bottoms of the carton(s)... I'm all dresses up with nowhere to go!

awesome! I knew Shellee is your name I just wasnt sure it was ok for me to use it. Some people have gotten weird with that over the years, even if they have it in their profile! So I like to ask first! You sure are all dressed up! and love that you do your homework before jumpin in!

 

[ChickaLong]

Now we're getting somewhere!

What's everyone have in the bator?

I've got 12 self blue Cochin bantams (shipped) day 3 (going to candle today to see how many are viable).... And 18 eggs arriving in the mail tomorrow

Black sex links but some may hatch white/yellow. I had 6 hatch with 4 black sex link and 2 unknown. one or two of the BR hens have some RIR in them.

I would think so, just try to acclimate her before doing so.

At least you coulda put them in the guest bathroom tub! 

It's entirely possible but highly unlikely.

Clean up should be a breeze after I remove the shavings........just turn on the shower.

Than where would she take a bath?

Well our 2nd bathroom is the kids' bath/ shower lol. Now I'm sure they would love having the chicks in their bathroom, but I have to keep the chickies in mine so I can keep the door closed to keep our cats away from them. Luckily our master bath also has a seperate shower so it's all good!
