    Is this incubator salvagable

    That looks like a calcium and lime buildup to me. CLR might remove it. Per the instructions you should never use anything but distilled water in this unit.

    Is this incubator salvagable

    It has to be reset to 21 in order for it to start working again. If you push the menu button and it showing anything other than 21 when you start it, it hasn’t been reset.

    Weird air sac

    Great news! Out of 12 eggs, 11 little babies hatched! Just goes to show that the weird air sack does not necessarily mean that they will not hatch.

    Weird air sac

    I’m curious, how did the hatch go on these eggs? I have some that I ordered that was shipped to me that are doing the exact same thing. I’ve never had this happen before on any that I hatched from my own hens.

    Another "Surprise" chicken from July 20, 2022 hatching from Cackle Hatchery.

    These temporary living quarters were caused by several different situations this year. When I got my incubator for Christmas from my daughter, we had all intentions of building a coop in early spring.

    Pipd, after checking out the Silver Laced Orpingtons, I do believe that is what he is. I also have what I believe is a female of the same breed. He was one of the ones that got bullied as a youngster, so I separated him from the flock and put him with 3 other abused "females". I know one...

    Another "Surprise" chicken from July 20, 2022 hatching from Cackle Hatchery.

    Pipdzipdnreadytogo, they are a bit crowded at this point. They are in a 10 x 20 with an adjoining 8 x 8'. I feed them a 16% layer pellets, some scratch grain and some added 30% protein. I usually just throw a few handsful of feed in, so they don't rush me at the door. They have 2-60lb Little...

    Another "Surprise" chicken from July 20, 2022 hatching from Cackle Hatchery.

    Ok, having difficulty identifying what breed of chicken this one is. She is a large chicken, too fat to get up on the perch at night. I feel like she's a Wyandotte, but has what I'm guessing is "frizzle" on her back. She has rather large feet (cause she's fat?). Any help would be great...

    We have a corner lot and neighbors are across road. Neighbors on other side are on the other side of an empty lot between us.

    Guinea questions

    My guineas and young chickens were all hatched on the same day, July 20th. Who knows why, but I suspect some of the other chickens are also in on the feather pulling.
