The chemical he used was LV4000 2,4D weed killer

Will weed killer kill chickens? My husband sprayed our yard without me knowing and my hens have been eating the grass all day! Does this effect the eggs?? Help!

Sorry first time hatching... do you let them dry first before moving?

Do you do that once you remove them from the incubator? I have one more to hatch so hate to open :(

i have some chicks that arent quite 24hrs old. I have noticed on a couple that only one eye is open and another chick has the other barely half open. Has anyone else experienced this? Does it get better?

Thank you for all the help! Humidity was only 60% when i returned :)

I dont :(. I may add more water though if thats ok?

Wow do I love this site! Would i be ok closing one? If one hatches while im out humidity may jump again

You will need to calibrate thermometer. Always go by the one inside

I have 8 eggs. 2 hatched and others have pipped. My humidity is currently 65% with two vents open using a farm innovator incubator. Do I close a vent? I have to leave for several hours and im afraid it will drop too much, but dont want to suffocate those that hatched! Please help!

The arrow point to where the hole is. Cant really see in this, but a good idea.

i have a few eggs due to hatch and one of them has pipped slightly on the bottom. Not completely though. I see the shell cracking and its moving like crazy. Do I help by turning the egg right side up? Or leave it?

Im just afraid they may try to cram into one coop that isnt quite big enough for all of them rather than splitting into two. We will see how it goes! I agree with your theory!

I have a second batch of chicks that will be moving into a second seperate coop. This coop is large enough to hold ten chickens. Currently I have one large enough that holds 14. In order to introduce the new flock, I have the new coop with a run attached to the other run with a fence that...

Im in the same exact situation. I have a coop of 14 right now. 13 hens and 1 rooster. I have 8 incubating currently. Really dont want to build another coop, but cant think of any other way.
