    New chicks question

    Breathing fast

    . That's the only picture I have of the brooder at the moment. But it's about 4'x6'. And heat is only on one side so they have lots of room to get away from it. I keep it pretty clean for them. I will try and get a picture of the beak tomorrow.

    First time incubating

    Well here's the results. I started with 32 eggs. Day 10 candle found 4 that weren't growing. Shut the incubator off today on day 24 and have 8 that didn't hatch. So about a 66% hatch. Guess not bad for first time with travelled eggs
