    Mama Hatched out 5 Chickens and Left The Other Eggs - I Don't Have An Incubator

    Unfortunately, without an incubator it would be almost impossible to manage the correct humidity and temperature. If the temp and humidity are not just right, the chick won't develop correctly. I hate to say it, but if you don't have another broody hen or know someone who has an incubator, I...

I searched for hours and gave my name out to everyone. At 9 pm the next night I got a call that they were seen at...

    My hen is brooding ghost eggs....I think! New Pics!

    Well....this Sunday is 21 days since I gave my Broody Frazzle 2 LF Barred Rock eggs to hatch. She was too small for anymore than that. She's still hard at work sitting on the eggs. In fact, today is the 3rd day in a row she's refused to leave the nest at all. I'm starting to worry about...

    WTB: Blue Orpington hatching eggs or chicks

    Hi Everyone, I got home early from work eager to see my hatching eggs from MPC. I was very sorry to see that no Blue Orpingtons were included in the bunch. So with that, I'm asking for anyone who may be able to sell me some Blue Orp eggs to hatch. thanks, Michelle

    My hen is brooding ghost eggs....I think! New Pics!

    BigDaddy'sGurl : We expect pics when her little, or big , ones hatch! You got it...in fact, I was just thinking to post a picture of her now. Be prepared...I think she's the ugliest chicken on the face of the earth. It's not her fault...she's a hatchery 'frazzle'....if the frizzle gene...

    Quote: Answered my own question....she can only handle 2 LF eggs. I tried to give her 3, but she can't keep them covered. So, 2 it is...it's comical, but she seems happy!
