    Mixed flock - 5 weeks apart!

    Question.... I've got two flocks, hatched out about 5 weeks apart. An April 7th hatch day and May 2nd hatch day. Right now, I still have the young birds on a medicated chick starter and the others a non-medicated starter......question is.... can I have them both on a non-medicated chick...

    Incubator lost power

    Hi everyone! We're on day 18 of what I was hoping to be a very good hatch.... I came home from work to find the incubator unplugged and the temp hovering around 22 degrees. It's supposed to be 37.5....ugh. Should I still be hopeful?!? Thanks!

    Broody Hen....Caught!

    I figured out what was going on....she broke two of the eggs.......and has since stopped laying on the other eggs. I've removed them and am hoping that she'll continue to be broody and then I can give more to try again.

    Hatching Turkey Eggs with Chicken Eggs??

    Its definitely more like a clammy moist.... when I examined the eggs.... while replacing the one that she had not tucked under....the other eggs were moist. Her bare belly seems moist. She is in a well ventilated area in the house....not drafty...but not contained either. Her outter feathers...
