I also try to set up their coop so that I do not have to go in to feed them and give them water, cause I have crazy mean roosters.

That looks exactly like my silkie chicks right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:lau

I spend about an hour a day in my girl only coop and barely any time in the boys and girls coops cause of my roosters and cocks, they are devils!

SO PRETTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My black silkie, Midnight, hatched 2 ADORABLE silkie chicks, they are so tiny. Midnight's sister, lucky, raised 5 Speckled Rhode island chicks and did amazing she was so protective, she would even attack our dog to protect her chicks. We could never touch the chicks without getting pecked. early...

entry #1 dew drops on the grass.

This is how I feel my nine Buff Orpington hens took like 20 weeks to lay and it seemed like forever!!!!!!!!!!

What breed are these I had some rooster like this and they were the sweetest roosters EVER but we had to get rid of them and I never found out what breed they were, but I would like to get more?

It was SO hard to choose the last entry but I finally found one. This is Zazu my speckled Sussex/RIR Cock hiding in the shade (or as I like to say my Speckled Rhode Island).

my sassy RIR hen, Cutie Cakes.

First entry: one of my beautiful Buff Orpington hens.

I'm sorry to report that another chick died out of the 7 chicks that have hatched only 3 have survived and made it to the brooder:(. Why are they all dying!!!!!!!!!!?????? The last three have been so weak when they hatch.

sorry, I thought you were saying during hatching but my humidity during incubation was 35%, not 70% lol.

I can change the perimeter setting but I have to add water to raise it and it is really hard to lower it without lowering the temp. for the first 18 days, I used an automatic turner but on day 18 I took it out and put the eggs on the tray under it.

Thank you so much, I will definitely change those things (I hope the chicks are ok)!!!!! I do not have a hatcher I only have an incubator is that ok?
