Ok I hatched my first clutch of chicks Dec 23, and we just hatched more 2 weeks ago. I have moved the first bunch to a chick house beside the hen house. I thought they were ready. BUT when we put them together my older chickens pecked 5 of my 3 month olds to death.Now I have 4 scared 3 month...

I found the book... Will it tell me how to do all the golden day stuff? lol

I got a hovabator for christmas and we have 10 out of 11 eggs to hatch, but they were from our own flock and not shipped. I am so sorry you are having so much trouble. I wish you lots of luck the next time around

I think I will just wait until I know this lil baby will make it thru. I sure hope I didnt mess up because we only have one other barred rock in the flock and the rest are buffs. So I was counting on some more BR because we Need some color in our flock! lol

Thanks. I know what you mean. I decided this year was going to be the year for making cookies with the kids and baking and all that... but it turns out that most of my stuff was a big laugh. I have to laugh at myself to keep from getting frustrated. I think we women believe we are superwoman...

I am a bookaholic... I admit, but I am wanting to get more into canning and making some of my own everyday things we use. Any suggestions on a good read/teaching book?

Thanks so much! I was thinking about doing that very same thing but wanted to make sure with the only place to get the answers! lol Thank you!

My first set of eggs started to hatch yesterday morning at 8 am , it went on thru the day hatching a few at a time. We are now up to 9 out of 11 eggs. I need to know if leaving the first ones in there that are dry will hurt until the rest dry out fully? I also don't know about the other two...

What great advice. We got baby chicks back in the spring so these eggs are from our own flock. I am glad that they can hatch later. I hope it is a success, I havent seen anything going on unusual. Actually they havent moved and I don't hear any peeps, so we will see. All fingers and legs...
