    Can we put a one day old chick under a broody hen who has week old chicks?

    Ah, that’s a shame. Probably going to set up my incubator and transfer the eggs. Thank you for the reply!

    Thank you for the advice! Hen #2 is still incubating the remaining eggs, so hopefully she’ll react differently to those.

    Can we put a one day old chick under a broody hen who has week old chicks?

    We had two broody hens who were around a week apart in their incubation time. Hen #1’s chicks hatched about a week ago, and Hen #2 hatched two chicks this morning or earlier. Unfortunately, Hen #2 crushed one of her chicks and began attacking/pecking at the other one, so ultimately we removed...

    Hi! I posted a picture of an egg that has a yellow-ish membrane. Is it shrink wrapped? Thank you!

    Hello, the membrane of the chick that pipped has become yellow. I managed to snap a quick photo of it: Sorry about the quality, I tried to take it really quickly. Is this chick shrink wrapped?

    I don't know if I could open it right now, it's basically a styrofoam incubator with a heat lamp and a small fan.

    I think I could maybe get it to 50%, would that work?

    I've got a separate hygrometer, but I didn't calibrate it. In the incubator I filled up a whole pot of water though, so the hygrometer might be wrong.

    Yeah, the maximum I could get it to was 47% Should that be fine?
