    prayers for my babies?

    Our neighbor just called and said that a pine tree fell over a power line in front of our house, and caught the grass on fire. He said he put out the fire, but my first thought is my 4 little eggs in the incubator! If the power line is down, the power probably went out I hope my babies can make...

    glass thermometer vs accurite thermometer?

    I'm trying to adjust the bator for my first hatch! The glass thermometer in the brinsea mini eco reads 100 degrees fahrenheit. however, the accurite digital thermometer reads 98.2. which one should I rely on?

    11 months old.. no eggs and no crowing. -pics added-

    whoo! 2 more replies while I was posting I check everywhere possible for eggs, but maybe I'm just missing them? I hope she's mixed up, though she was laying age way before winter..

    that could be a possibility. but my past egg eaters have always left evidence behind, ie wet shavings, some yolk, etc.

    Lump on Turken's neck?! Update: IT DISAPPEARED!

    This morning I went out to open the coop expecting the worse, but the lump is completely gone. Like it never happened. Today while feeding my chickens an afternoon serving of Layena crumbles I noticed that my Turken had a big lump on the side of her neck. She was also sluggish and swallowing...
