not sure how I do this but, I'll bid $31.00. Thanks pink!

There is this stuff called "Tough Pad" that might work. I think you can get it at Ranch and Home.

So my eggs are 3 days past hatch date. I know my temp was too low for a still air incubator. What do ya think. Should I keep waiting?

Thanks, I thought it would be ok but it is always nice to hear from someone else.

I just set 33 Millie eggs Sunday evening and today I came home and one of them obviously was cracked. It was oozing yellow yolk all over. I quickly removed the egg and had to clean up under the turner so I had to remove my eggs for a minute. Do you think I just screwed them all up? Any thoughts?

I am waiting for my brahmas to hatch. Today is day 21. I have nothing yet also. Very nervous. Come on littles chickies!

I have 10 buff brahma eggs going to lockdown. I hope all goes well. I just lost a whole batch of BCM eggs. Not sure why. Only had 2 out of 12 that acually had developed chicks in them. But they never hatched. I waited several days past due date. Kept the bator at temp and humidity. Very sad...

Thanks much!

I'm going to the Canby swap and am new to this swap thing. I have some chicks that I would like to take but am not sure what is required to do so. Anybody have any info for me? That would be great! Thanks

Hello, I live in Castle Rock, WA just north of Portland, Ore about an hour. I am new to this site and absolutely love it! I've gone chicken crazy. I have 6 standard Brahma hens of various shades and a light Brahma/Orpington roo named Tater Salad. Let's see, 3 5wk light brahma, 3 4w buff brahma...

Thanks for the help. I tried bringing my little blue girl into my other brooder and it just seemed to stress her out being by herself. So she is back with the flock. I tried the molases with water and that seemed to perk her up. I noticed her drinking water and trying to get to the feed dish...

I have one that is doing the same thing. She is 3 weeks old and smaller than my week old chicks. She has labored breathing and kindof hicups or sneezes alot. Not sure what to do. Hopefully someone knows.

Thanks so much for the info. All is good in chick land. Just waiting.

Ok, so I lost my intructions for my Little Giant incubator and turner. I'm not sure how to get the egg trays out of the turner. I made the mistake of setting two different sets of eggs, So now half of them are on day 18 and the other half have another week. Can anyone relate? I think I've gone...
