    first time incubation questions

    I am about to incubate for the first time this week and I have NO IDEA what I am doing. Do any of you have a good online resource or video that tell me step by step. I am clueless and really need to learn A LOT today or tomorrow. Thank you

    Hova bator instructions

    I too borrowed a Hova Bator 1602N from a friend. I have never incubated eggs before and have no idea what I am doing. Is there a good youtube video out there that walks you through everything from day one to hatching??

    At which age will a Rooster start crowing?

    My rooster, we call him "Mr. Rooster" was 18 weeks yesterday and the hens chit chat and make more noise than he does. I hope he is not confused being the only rooster out of a total of 10 chickens.

    CHICKENS PANTING

    This was soooo needed. I live in Georgia and it is close to 100 every day for the past week and I don't think that will change until September. They all have their beaks open. I am not home during the hottest part of the days but will try to do some of these tricks. Thanks!!

    Looking for photos and ideas for roosts and poop trays etc.

    So I had to go to Home Depot to get a few things and I went to the lumber section. I got to thinking about the pictures on this post and a light bulb went off and this is what I had to buy and I put it together in less than one hour.
