    Hawk Attack - Wobbly Neck

    Wow! I love this website so much! We had a hen that was just grabbed by a Hawk yesterday, and her neck looks the same! We thought she was going to die then and there! Thought her neck was broken and she was gasping. Well she didn’t die...we were going to cull her, but I came here to...

    Light Brahma..roo or pullet. 6-7 weeks

    I purchased one light Brahma which is supposed to be sexed female, however, I think Poulette is a rooster! And out of the 17 chicks we got she’s the only one I named, lol...I let my kids name them all. Anyway, she hates being handled and I’ve read how sweet brahmas are. We hatched some Roos...

    Eggtopsy...with pictures, what day?

    I noticed the head tuck, and that one looked like it was just about to pop through into the air sac. How do I adjust humidity knowing that 3 hatched as is? I would think adjust it down maybe 5% on the next go around and leave at 100-degrees?

    Eggtopsy...with pictures, what day?

    Hatched 3 successful healthy strong chicks on day 21, left 2 last ones in until tonight, day 25. I gently piped into the air sac first to look for movement, and listen for chirping..but nothing. One looks like it was just about to pip into air sac (1st 4 pics), the other looked same as first...

    Day 24..are these viable?

    Temperature is at 99.5 in a forced air incubator. Humidity between 63-70 during lockdown. Confirmed temps with a separate calibrated hygrometer and thermometer too. I only incubated the questionable ones on day 18.

    Cinco de Mayo babies!

    So a third one hatched...named Chirpy! It amazes me how quickly and matter of fact kids are able to pick names....it took us months and months to pick our own kids names! I have 2 more eggs that look iffy, now it’s day 24. I think my eyes are playing tricks on me and may see movement but I...

    Was this a double yolker?

    That would be so awesome...but hard I would imagine.

    Was this a double yolker?

    So. Day 18..and this egg was not viable, so cracked it open. It was a very large egg. Looks like it quit around day 7? Correct me if I’m wrong...this is my first time incubating. But...do you think it was a double yolker. See pics..one is definitely an embryo, but then I found...
