    Had 1 hatch at day 20 and none on day 21. Whats with that?

    Still no new ones. I get the gut feeling that once I added water on day 18 to raise the humidity from 20% to where it is now 40's. They have drowned. Jonathan

    I moved the one. Goin to give the others 3-4 more days. I have the worst luck when it comes to incubating!

    This is day 22 but what about the one inside. He is going on 4 days with not food or water now. Should I open and take him out?

    Is 2 tenths of a degree critical?

    I can’t seem to get my incubator to sit at 99.5 it likes to flux between 99.5-99.7. Also with dry incubating is 21% humidity to low? Thanks, Jonathan

    What should I charge per pound?

    I have a freezer full of Cornish rock broilers from this fall and I was asked if I would sell some the other day but I have no idea what I should charge. The easy way would be add up what I have in them but I didn’t really keep track. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jonathan

    What size run should I have for my chickens? Chicken manure & gargen?

    Is there a size recommendation for runs as there is for coops? Also I was considering this Spring putting my coop in between my garden and alternating the run and garden each year. I am concerned that 20 chickens in the run (Garden cut in half) might make the soil way hot the next year when it...

    Question about helping a hatching egg at 22 days.

    When I left today a 0400 they were still alive. I am not sure if they are going to be strong enough in 2 days to eat on their own. We will see. All the other eggs look as if they drowned. I cracked them and they were full of liquid. Good news there is all but 1 of my 17 eggs developed I think...

    Question about helping a hatching egg at 22 days.

    I'm guessing b/c you opened the bator to much the hum dropped and the eggs are to dry to hatch. Could be other reasons also, that's why people dont open the bator to take chicks out during a hatch. That is great information. I don’t know what I was thinking, I guess I was confused and though...

    Question about helping a hatching egg at 22 days.

    I have 2 that piped and didn’t do anything for several hours. I was worried so I opened them up and one all the way. He looks really underdeveloped and just lays with his head in the same bent back spot as if he was still in the egg. It has been out for 4+ hours and is still breathing and...

    Question about breeding and egg color.

    I was wondering if you can tell what egg color you will get when crossing diffrent colored egg layers. I have a White Leghorn / Marans mix and an Americana (Green) / Marans mix. Is there some kind of formula or is it just chance. Thanks, Jonathan
