    Kind of a stupid question???Maybe??

    Great!! I am hoping this will work but my maybe bigger problem is that she is in a nesting box in the coop and I am thinking that maybe we should have moved her already??

    setting eggs question???

    I did think about doing that with the bator while they are changing out the poles....my main problem is that it may be really cold outside so adjusting the temps may be an issue???

    Fertility Check???

    Is the only way to really know if my rooster is doing his job to do a sample hatching to check for fertility? I have 13 hens with 1 rooster and he seems to be doing his business but I am curious as to if the eggs are fertile. DH would kill me if I got more chicks but maybe just a few in the...

    I lost another chicken this week!! Help!!

    They are on layer feed from the feed store and I have a second coop that is fine. The temps only really dropped this past week as we had a quick blizzard for new years and are comeing back above 0. They also have a heating lamp to help keep the coop about 25 to 30 degrees inside.
