    breed?

    I hatched 6 eggs that I obtained from a local farm. The eggs were a very light green/blue color. What type or 'mix' do they look like?

    IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE NEEDED!!!!

    My Brinsea 7 egg incubator has been wonderful for 3yrs...used 3 times. Today in about an hour, we will be on DAY 1 of 6 chicken eggs incubating. All the eggs have the 'holes' in them and we can hear chirping. THE BRINSEA IS MALFUNCTIONING!!! The temp alarm woke us up and temp was like 102...

    incubator question

    I have 7 eggs in a bator. Today is day 18. On Tuesday, Sep. 8, it will be day 1. Do eggs need the FULL 21 days to form, so that they'd actually hatch on day 0? Or, is it just a full 20+ days, so they will HATCH out on day 1? Just wondering if we need to be home watching on day 1 (Sep. 8) or...

    Eggs ready to hatch-many questions!

    Ok, 2 of the 7 eggs have hatched. I am concerned about 'room' in the bator....it's a smaller one. Here is a link to see a pic: http://brinsea.com/products/mini.html So, should I still leave them in there for a whole day? And, can I atleast remove the empty eggs as they hatch? And, should...

    Eggs ready to hatch-many questions!

    Out of 7 eggs, I am almost sure all are viable. Today was day 19. I candled them all this morning for a last look. One of them was CHEEPING loudly! Apparently, it's broken into the air sac. Has anyone heard their chicks CHEEPING while IN the egg? I checked him again tonight, around 8'hrs...

    can you keep a hen/coop in a basement?

    Thank you so much, Demosthine! I am putting my idea on hold, and will likely not do it. But, I am going to get some fertilized eggs for our experiment! It will be fun. Thanks for the links, I will check them out.

    Ma'am...if you've re-read your original post, and you don't see anything wrong with your choice of 'verbiage', then you're never gonna see anything wrong with your choice of verbiage. Thus, talking about it (and to you-since you're newest post still comes off as confrontational) is a waste of...

    can you keep a hen/coop in a basement?

    I had not thought of approaching the HOA about changing the rule. I guess I always think that it's virtually impossible to win with these things. Yes, there is far too much hostility in this 'country' (world as well) right now. And your approach, that of rational reasoning vs. drama, was very...

    can you keep a hen/coop in a basement?

    Yeah, one or 2 great points here. That is why I posted. My intent was not to have 'frankenchickens'. That just comes off as ridiculous and evil-sounding. Not a very welcoming reply to someone's FIRST post ever-on here. My basement has many windows and double walkout doors with windows in...

    can you keep a hen/coop in a basement?

    I live in a subdivision in a rural area of NE GA. We have an HOA. The yards of the homes are large, 1/2 up to almost an acre, but it is against our HOA 'rules' to have chickens. I seriously, badly, want to have one hen, for fresh EGGS. We went on a field trip a few wks ago to a full on farm and...
