    Congrats Glenn on your chicks! Looks like you have your incubator figured out.....except don't open it for long when removing a new hatchling if more are due to hatch....got to do it real quick or the humidity drops too much. Let me know when you're ready for a few Serama chicks.

    What does it cost to get that done? I thought it was pretty expensive in CA. Also did they just draw blood from random chickens? Thank you. Laurel

    Hatcher Question

    Hi - I use 1588's too and love them. I bought a still air to use as a hatcher but because the temp is not preset and can change due the surrounding temps I didn't trust it- some days it was just right at 102 (the temp for still airs) and other days it would shoot up and I kept it in a room with...

    Broody Hen or ?

    I just had a lavender Orpington stay broody for two months. Every chicken is different. Being broody is perfectly natural and I don't discourage it as it what their body is telling them to do. If people don't want hens to go broody then they need to buy breeds that rarely go broody such as a...

    Incubation issues

    I am incubating chicken eggs. I have been hatching for years and find this is what works for me. I use a hova bator 1588 which has a preset temp of 99.5 and I control the humidity. I candle at 10 days and day 18. If the humidity has been correct then there is a decent size air sac for the...

    Which SAND to Use?

    I just buy the basic sand at Home Depot and mix food grade diatomaceous earth. The DE helps kill any lice or mites. The chicken are and so am I! I am sure others put other things in it - I just keep it easy and simple.

    Incubation issues

    During the first 18 days you need the humidity between 45-55% and raise it to 55-65% the last 3-4 days. The only way to accomplish this is to have water in the incubator. Raise the humidity in your hatcher and maybe you'll get lucky and some chicks will hatch or you may loose the whole hatch...

    Broody Hen or ?

    She is broody. It is a natural state. She will get out on her own and feed, water and go to bathroom daily. Broodiness can last a couple months. You might want to give her some fertile eggs to hatch or just wait it out and she will start to lay again in 2 to 3 months.
