    Egg turner got unplugged by accident......Will they hatch?

    Some how the egg turner got unplugged in my incubator. It seemed odd to me that every time I checked the temp and humidity the eggs were in the same position. I guess I thought I checked around the same time every day so its possible. I followed the cord down and sure enough...unplugged. Im...

    Hatching eggs sitting in a really warm room before incubating

    So I recently bought some hatching eggs from a local breeder. I had a set of eggs already in my bator so I had to wait a few days before I could put this batch in. Normally the room I have for the eggs to sit in until I am ready for them is a fairly cool room. The last couple of days the room...

    SOUR CROP :( HELP!!!! I have 20 chicks with sour crop.

    Thank you all so much for the replies!!! So far they are all still up and running around. I DO NOT like the idea of disgorging them so I am stocking up on plain yogurt and veggie oil. That sounds yummy and healthy for them anyway. I still have them on the medicated food until the bag runs out...

    SOUR CROP :( HELP!!!! I have 20 chicks with sour crop.

    Can anyone please help me. I am fairly new to the chicken world. This spring we hatched our chicks and they were doing really good. They are approximately a month and a half old now. We went on a weekend trip and left their care to our friends. When I came home they had these huge bulging crops...

    I have 2 breeds of chicks that look alike. How do I tell them apart?

    Even the dark Sussex have pink legs? All mine have black legs that fade to flesh color to the toe. I have a picture on my page you can kinda see what I mean.

    I have 2 breeds of chicks that look alike. How do I tell them apart?

    I have Blue Orpington chicks and Silver Sussex (I think) chicks. Is it possible to tell them apart? Im new to this and I didn't know they would look exactly alike. I actually got the eggs from a gal that sold me light sussex so I thought they would all be born yellow. How old do they have to be...

    Letting fertile eggs sit before incubating

    How long can fertile eggs sit in my house in the cartons before I put them in the incubator? Id like to collect a few days worth and hatch them all at the same time.

    First time incubating chicken eggs........

    What makes the air stink? I didn't do lockdown. I was taking out babies as they hatched and putting them in a clean, dry space. I was also throwing out hatched shells and adding water. I got 14 chicks out of 14 eggs though :) I expected to lose some. They all seem very lively and strong. Im...

    Hatching!!! Now what?!?!

    I attempted to get Blue Orpingtons but the lady didn't want to sell those eggs. She sold me (what she called) silver laced sussex. I think they are just light sussex. Anyway, I ended up with 8 dark grey and white ones. After a little research I think she sold me some Blues. All eggs were marked...

    Need help confirming breed.....

    So I bought fertile eggs from a chicken breeder 22 days ago. She didn't want to sell me her Blue Orpingtons but had 16 (what she called) Silver Laced Sussex. They were solid white with black and silver necks. Since it was my first time incubating I went ahead and bought them. After the first...
