    Compton, my brooder is separate from the moveable pen. It butts up against it. The pen is 3 ft. by 10 ft.by 2 ft. high. I made this because the first coop i built was a tractor and it was way to heavy. I really dreaded moving it because I didn't want to hurt my back doing it. The pen can...

I was worried for a little while. so I've got around 13 that have hatched out and two that are zipping and another four or five that I can see have pipped.

    Did anyone else set eggs today on Valentine's Day?

    I didn't even think about the heat of the element. It seems to high on mine to touch the chicks. From what I've read, i was planning on just letting them stay in the bator for 24 hours. i'm setting up the brood box though and will have it ready. I still have three that have hatched out. I...

    Jake & Comptons, Good Luck to you two! Jake will you be candling before lockdown? when i candled the other night I was definitely able to see movement which was great. i'm hoping the the outage didn't stall yours. I imagine if you candle you'll be able to tell. I have 31 still and will...

    Yeah, He is in the fridge now. I'll let him rest there for a few days then make some soup! Wow, that sounds great to barter for summer camp!! I was thinking of using bleach or a bleach alternative. My eggs are dark too. I was thinking that my candler might not be bright enough also. So it...

    Did anyone else set eggs today on Valentine's Day?

    Comptons, that sounds like a great opportunity to flock a local farmer! i hope to sell some also and maybe do one more hatch after this. Will you disinfect your bator? How? I candled again tonight, day 15, and culled out three more, five in total. One was infertile, don't know how i missed...
