    I LOVE horizontal nipples, but I give up.

    Ern... I don't have freezing water problem since I only have 2 seasons here, dry and wet. I'll try to give my opinion regarding those horizontal nipples, I believe it's only habit problem, they haven't get used to it. How long have you tried using those horizontal nipples? If it's just few...

    Paying Tax from gross turnover? Not from your net profit

    Recently, I got a letter from tax office, stating that my tax calculation and report for last 2 years were wrong. I was told that they have been a new regulation on July 2013 which implies government will take 1% tax from your gross turnover, not 5% from my net profit anymore. I was shocked and...

    To candle or not to candle?

    Usually there must be vein visible when you candling it in their first week if you are using proper torch in proper room/location(dark). I love to candling them, watching their development day by day. If it's impossible for the light to penetrate the egg shell, you can only rely on the bator...

    what if night time temps don't meet brooder temps?

    Well, that's the theory and maths. In my experiences, I just make sure the brooder quite warm by looking at the chickens, if they looks pity and exhausted and drink lots in small interval, it indicates the brooder too hot, while seeing them 'chip.. chip...' each other happily means there are...

    Designing a better 'bator?

    Emm.... I think that you're going to create a Super Bator.. :D You can make transparent bator to make it easy to watch candling process from outside, perhaps using accrylic or glass. Put high powered (but still cool) LED bulb with single direction at the bottom of each egg. Put automatic...

    Nest boxes

    Yap, as already mentioned by ChickensRDinos , the reason to prevent them sleep inside is because they will poop inside nestbox, beside, if they already used to sleep inside nest box, wonder how difficult for hen to sit on the eggs when she's broody, she'll need to fight and if you forget to...

    Nest boxes

    why not, just provide some prevention from having the nest box as sleeping place. Make good roosting a little far from nest box, if the nestbox have roof, make the roof placed like 45 angle to prevent flock from using them as roosting place. :)

    cold

    em..... it's in celcius or fahrenheit? it it's celcius, they should be fine. if it's in fahrenheit, it seems to be so cold outside, but since they're inside coop, I think they should be fine, especially if you provide them with incandescent lamp (hope the name is right, kind of lamp that...

    Found Two BRAND NEW BABY chicks in the coop? Yep

    The mommy hen is excellent, can sit on the eggs 'quietly'. I think she should have become a sniper if she were human. :p Congratulation. :)
