    Chicks Intestines are Out?

    I have hatched using a broody hen before but this is the first time I am hatching with an incubator. Nine of the eggs have successfully hatched. There is one though whose large intestines seem to be hanging out, i didn't think it would do well with the other chicks so I left it in the incubator...

    Temp Trouble

    i recently bought a little giant incubator, I was reading that the thermometer on it wasn't that accurate, two days after putting eggs in it I bought a hygrometer, and it said it was only at 75 degrees! I've raised the temperature since but will the eggs still develope or are they goners?

    DIY Incubator

    I'm planning on incubating some eggs soon as well as making my own incubator for the first time and I need advice! I want to know everybody's experiences, what worked and what did not? What are big things I need to look out for? Small things? Tell me everything.

    Sevin Dust???

    I have treated my chickens for lice using ash and neem oil for a grand total of three times. And every time still find those little buggers feasting on my poor hens. They are beginning to lose a scary amount of weight and feathers are being lost. I've heard good and bad things about sevin dust...
