    INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

    Anyone know if lockdown can start on day 17 instead of 18. I'm assisting incubating chicks in an Elementary School classroom. Day 18 is going to fall on a Saturday. We can have access on a Saturday, but if lockdown can begin later on day 17, that would greatly help.

    Anyone attach a UPS/Battery back-up to their incubator system?

    Pips&peeps, is there a link to purchase such backup power sources?

    Breeding questions

    I'm looking for information on breeding my flock. I want to know what I'll end up with by crossing my black australorp rooster with my Americauna hens, and production red hens. Egg color-wise, would the babies hatched from the Americauna hens also lay blue/green eggs? If I cross an Americauna...

    Hen with possible respiratory illness. What to do?!!

    I ended up treating with a product I ordered online, called Denegard. It is off-label use for poultry in the US, but it worked well. Below is a link to a discussion and info on where it can be purchased, etc: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/392918/anyone-familiar-with-denagard

    Hen with possible respiratory illness. What to do?!!

    I have a hen with a possible respiratory illness? (bubbly eye, rattling sound when breathing, messy bottom). I'm new at chicken keeping, and have no idea what to do for her. I did separate her from the rest of the flock. I gave her some electrolyte/probiotic water. Should I give her antibiotics...

    Will my feather babies hatch?? It's already day 22 of incubation.

    Great advice. Let's go candle some eggs, and get them placed in the bator. Gonna try the low humidity method, instead of dry, and see how this goes.

    Will my feather babies hatch?? It's already day 22 of incubation.
