    Good Incubators?

    I did my first hatch with a still air incubator. Started with 11 eggs ended up with 7 healthy chicks. I lost 1 due to it going bad and smelling...not sure what happened. 2 were not fertile, and had one quitter. I was impressed with it being my first hatch. Being a newbie hatcher, I would...

    pack and play

    The chick needs a heat source..I use an old tote box to put the chick in. If you have an old lamp, take the shade off and fix the lamp so it can hang over where the chick is..VERY securely. And the area needs to big enough for the chick to get away from the light, incase it gets too hot. We have...

    Hatch-A-Long (May-June)

    Congrats on your new babies!!!! And good luck on the incubated babies!!!! As for washing a dirty egg? I was told not to buy the guy I bought them from. I had one that was nasty dirty, so much so that it almost grossed me out to turn it. And if you think about it, if they were under a broody...

    humidity too high or low?

    They are gold laced brahmas...I ended up with 7, my last one seemed to be a quitter. I did the water test, no ripples....and decided to make my way in to see what was going on since I had seen no movement for it at all. Lots of yellowish liquid, and it didn't look fully formed. It was close...

    Hatch-A-Long (May-June)

    Up to seven babies, no pasty butt. I have one that I knew was going to give me a hard time hatching..if it is even still a live. The shell is very porous and I could never see the baby move inside of it. I could just barely see veins on lock down. I moved the first 6 very quickly to the...

    Will my chickens tear up my backyard?

    Yes they will tear up your grass, and your neighbors will probably figure out that you have them. I am a little rebellious I would attempt to keep them if it were me. The small size of your yard, I say make or buy a chicken tractor. It isn't like they would be free ranging in a field if they...

    Chickens killed chick - can I pull chicked once a pip is showing.

    what are you using for a brooder? I am using a tote and if had to I could cover vent holes and wired area we made to hold in the heat. You'd have to have the humidity up. You know anyone with an incubator?
