    September 2022 Hatch-a-long🌞

    All 10 hatched! One of the d'Uccles turned out to be a Porcelain! Though one of the Mille Fleurs has a slipped tendon.... It's escaped the chairs we made so right now the leg is just wrapped (I hope the tendon is in the correct position, the leg is soooo tiny) and we're giving rooster booster...

    September 2022 Hatch-a-long🌞

    This morning at day 18 I did a really quick candle of 2 of the d'Uccles before running to work and looks like they've started to internal pip, I wasn't expecting that because last nights candle looked like a very standard day 17. But the air sac was even bigger today and they were pushing into...

    Does anyone have experience with bantams hatching earlier than a standard size chicken? I've read some conflicting information that you need to lock down earlier for bantams and I have a mix of Maran and d'Uccle in the incubator.

    We're at day 11! Candled at days 4,7 and last night at 10 and removed 2 of the shipped d'Uccle eggs at day 7. One didn't develop at all and the other had a ring of death at day 4. It's really hard to see what's going on in the Maran eggs but the Ayam Cemani cross is an active little thing! I...

    Oh I don’t know what to do

    Hope you all are doing better. I love a automatic coop door for this reason, even if I don't get to check on them till late the door closes at dusk so I don't have to worry about anything getting in the coop. I got mine from Omlet, it's great.

    Winter water...

    I have power at the coop so I have tried a variety of under and in-bucket heaters. One melted and stunk up the place, on the other the finish corroded and got in their water :barnie The two that work for me well are a heated dog water bowl and this...
