    Show feed question

    Thank you for your reply. They have been on it since hatch. Currently they are on 24% protein. We followed the feeding regime suggested by a poultry rep with the company. We will be switching to 22% from now to sale day. They are 7 weeks old, no signs of coccidiosis

    Show feed question

    Hello, I have a question about show feeds. My daughter is raising broilers for 4-h. This is her second year. Last year we lost some chicks in the beginning due to not starting on medicated feed. This year, we have given them show feed, I don't want to name the brand in case this isn't related...

    Raising Grand Champions

    Hello, This is my daughter's second year in 4-H, raising broilers. For her first year she did good, but trying to get pointers from people is like trying to get too secret information. I know we need to be getting them up and moving frequently and raising the waterers as they grow, but are...

    Could you check out my egg pics and see if you think they have pipped internally, please?

    Need egg advice

    Here are some pics of the four that made it. To my untrained eye I'm wondering if they have pipped internally, but I need some experts to tell me for sure.

    Need egg advice

    Thank you! I will see if I can get some decent pictures when I candle tonight. I've been able to tell with past hatches if the egg is fertile at day 10, past that...🤷

    Need egg advice

    Thanks for the replies. I've done about 4 hatches and I'm just not ever sure what I'm looking at or how to tell how far along they are when I candle them. Do either of you have a resource I could check out?

    Need egg advice

    Hey, all, So I had a hen sitting on a near, she was on it possibly 2 weeks once I realized she was sitting, I don't know how long before that. I noticed 2 days ago she was off the nest and today realized something got her. One egg is broken, there are 8 others intact. I was going to leave them...

    Incubation question

    I was reading about making a "sandal" for the curled toes. I'm going to do that today.

    Incubation question

    Thank you all. This was an odd hatch, only about a 54% hatch rate and three of them have curled feet. All my temp and humidity levels were consistent throughout the incubation. Thanks for all the advice. I've got some cuties.

    Incubation question

    Hello, hatching time again here. So I started all my eggs at the same time. I have one keet that's been hatched for 24 hours now, 6 others that have hatched within the last 20 hours and 7 eggs that have at least piped. Should I remove the hatched keets even though I run the risk of shrink...

    First attempt at incubating

    I read it took a gray pearl and slate, I think, (gray)? R2elk would probably know if that's correct. I love waiting and watching all the wonderful colors that come out of the eggs. It's so fun!

    First attempt at incubating

    Man! I've got the right combo, just aren't getting those eggs I guess. My other, half went to a cousin and half went to my dad. All doing well. My dad's think they are chickens. One of his hens took to them when he integrated them, and they follow her around. It's adorable!!!
