Hi so these 3 chicks are around 5 days old. Is anyone able to sex them by their wings.

Hi guys So I want to introduce my chickens to a dust bath this spring but not sure what to use. I plan on using a shallow tubrug for the container and using soil from my garden mixed with kids play sand and some diatomaceous earth. Would that suffice? I’ve heard of people using wood ash but I...

Hi all, Hope everyone is well. Just wondered when do people start incubating eggs? I usually start around March time as that is when spring kicks in for us in the UK and the weather is starting to get better, and I usually stop around July so the birds are a decent size when winter hits. What...

Hi guys. I believe my flock is infected with M. Gallisepticum. They are chicks around 4 months old and are constantly sneezing, have bubbles in their eyes, nasal discharge and quite lethargic. This has been going on for around 5 days now and was doing some research and believe it may be that. I...

I will do!

Hahaha it’s pretty neat. Looking forward to seeing their colours as they grow

10 pretty chicks hatched out

Yay! How many more to go?

Thank you! This is only my second time hatching so I’m still very early to incubating but it worked well last time and this time so think I may have found how to set humidity perfectly for my incubator. I feel if I had a hygrometer I would just panic if it went out of parameters and cause more...

My incubator doesn’t display humidity (and foolishly I don’t have any hygrometers to check humidity) but I have a Brinsea Maxi advance and for the first 18 days I only fill one side of the reservoir with water and on lockdown I will fill both reservoirs fully with water.

Woke up this morning to all 10 eggs hatch. Happy days! 👏🏼👏🏼

Thank you! I’ve had 8 chicks hatch and the final 2 have pipped so hopefully they hatch out later today!

Just thought I’d give a quick update. I’ve had 9 out of 10 eggs pip, so hopefully they hatch overnight or tomorrow (which will be day 21) hoping the last egg pips aswell. It would be nice to get all 10 eggs hatched out. Looking forward to seeing some nice colourings on them

Happy days!!!! Congrats 🥳
