    Can a now 1 eyed hen reintergrate with the flock?

    Our hen got injured 2 weeks ago. I have been crop feeding her for a week now. Her Injuries seem healed except she is now blind in one eye. Will she eventually be able to find the food and reintegration with the flock? Has anyone had a hen with one eye? She had stayed in the coop the whole time...

    Day 17 candling all dark with no aircell

    I have a broody hen on day 17. One egg is all dark with no visible aircell. The other is looking pretty normal with an aircell and chick movement. Any idea on the dark egg? Sorry no picture. She did not like me candling her eggs. Thanks

    Keeping chicks warm for 10 car ride

    I have someone buying 17 chicks. They will be 10 days old on pick up day. They have a 10 hour drive to their new home. Any ideas on what I can safely put in their box to keep them warm that doesn't cost too much?

    Broody hen lockdown

    I have a broody hen who will be in her last 3 days starting Friday. I have been gently lifting her off the nest everyday to collect the "extra eggs" she goes right back on the nest. Should I just leave the extra eggs the last 3 days and discard them after hatch?

    How to mark eggs under a broody

    I have a broody hen with 8 eggs. She is in a favorite nesting box so other hens are "adding" to the nest. I marked the eight eggs with a pencil but they are really hard to quickly read in the dim light. Is there something else that won't harm the eggs that is easier to see?

    Cleaning Nuture right 360 between hatches

    I want to get my next batch of eggs going as soon as I can after hatching my first batch. Do I have to do the whole clean, let air dry 24hrs and then run for 24hrs before setting the next batch?

    Nuture right 360- do you leave the egg turner rack in during hatching?

    Great ideas. I do the shelf liner but did not put the eggs around the edge or keep it dark. Thanks

    Nuture right 360- do you leave the egg turner rack in during hatching?

    I have hatched several batches and I always do as instructed and take the egg turner rack out at lockdown. I have met several people who turn off the turner but leave the rack leave it in to prevent the crazy rolling of the eggs all over the incubator during hatching. I would love your opinion...
