this made my day!!!! :) Thank you...I needed that... And as for hatching the eggs go for it! I once found a dead wild turkey on top of a brood of eggs. I tried to incubate them...no luck :( but it was still fun to give it a shot.
What type of Incubator is it?? Still air incubators are know to have dispersed hatches, I had a dozen due a week ago. Half hatched two days before the due date, the other half two days after the due date. I'm by no means an expert but I personally would give it another day or two. Just a thought.

This is a design of a large barn I plan to build in order to help preserve rare breeds of chickens. CB= Cabinent Incubator, SA= Still Air Incubator, F= Feed Bin. If you have any suggestions or input or breed recommendations that would be great! :) Thanks ~Austin

Back side...
where the tree house once stood. We cut the stilts down to about half the height and put it on skids
Then we proceeded to move it with the trusty bota
once in place we started adding the run fence. These are premade sections we made so we could take down and reassemble whenever we want and...
So i've owned chicken for a pretty long time, but this is just ridiculious! I have had one chicken be fine one day than die the next. No signs... i'm assuming that it is the strange winter and that they haven't been able to acclimate properly. Second, I have a bird that is simply lathargic...
