    Day 18 Question

    When removing the turner is it better to just lay the eggs on a rubbery holey mat type of thing or use the cut down egg cartons? I have never tried the egg carton method. But maybe if they are not rolling around they will be able to get the shell cracked easier. I have had some humidity issues...

    My First Broody

    Well, my first broody that I let hatch eggs. Well, I did not really "let" her. :o) We thought Checkers was gone, snatched by a hawk or some other predator. Found her outside of the fence sitting on 18 eggs! They just started hatching this evening. One was all the way hatched and another egg...

    Humidity Levels - Need Help

    My daughter's teacher has a hovabator 1583. She purchased it new last year. Used it twice very successfully. This year, we can not keep the humidity constant. Goes down to 20, up to 70. What could be causing this? Any ideas or suggestion? Thanks!

    Silly Chicken

    Well, we thought we lost one of our girls. She kept getting out of her fenced in area. So we tried clipping one wing. Still got out. Clipped the other one (I know, I know). She still flew over the fence. Did not see her for about a week. Thought a hawk carried her off. One morning, I am...

    Does chickens like mac and cheese?

    My chickens love pasta of any shape or flavor! When we go out to eat, we get a box for the chickens with all the leftovers. No doggie bags. Chickie bags. :o) They recognize those styrofoam take out containers now and come running when they see me with one.
