    Chickens hating water

    just let the hose run on the ground under a tree. very slowly so you dont waste too much water and so it doesn't get too deep. Most chickens will at least enjoy getting their feet wet and if it's not too deep they may even lay in it.

    Do chickens like water??

    I have these plastic trays. I think they are meat trays. They are only maybe 4cm deep but extremely wide. maybe 100cm x 60cm or something.

    New Borotto Real 24 incubator review

    Sorry about the late reply. I too own a Janoel 12 and had the same issue you did. However, I know why it overheats when ambient gets warm. It's because the electronics in the roof of the incubator can generate just enough heat on their own that if the ambient temperature gets above 32C then the...

    Chicken hatching on day 19 not 21

    when you start again, check the air cells every 5 days after the first 7. If air cells are growing too fast then you need higher humidity, if air cell growth is too slow then you need less, much less humidity. Low Humidity can cause shrink-wrapping and suffocation of the chicks if not outright...
