    Hatched chicks panting. Help please.

    So if anyone read my previous post, I had a Brahma who was sitting on eggs killed by a raccoon last week. I wasn't sure about the eggs because they were cold for at least 12 hours. Put them in an incubator and hoped for the best. Well 4 of them hatched so far today! This is my first time...

    Thank you! I'm hopeful. It will be so amazing if even a couple of them hatch! I feel like I owe it to that poor mama that was so devoted :( I will definitely update when something is happening. Thank God for this site!

    Broody was killed last night, Help!

    I do have an led light and tried it several times in complete dark. I can't see anything but the air cell. I got the only incubator that TSC had. It's a farm innovators and it's the one with the auto turner and it is forced air. I do have a glass thermometer in there laying on the tray next to...

    Broody was killed last night, Help!

    I had a brahma that had been sitting on 8 eggs for 2 weeks…well, today would've been day 14. She was killed by a raccoon who figured out how to open the broody coop last night :( My mom found her late this morning so I don't know how long they were alone. I ran out and got an incubator (nope...

    Broody hatching questions. First timer!

    Well it's day 8 and she's still sitting. She took back the egg that she rejected, so I dunno if it's good or not. I tried candling with a flash light on day 6 but couldn't see anything. I found a candler on Amazon for $14 so I think I'm gonna just order that one. Thanks for the advice, I'm...

    Broody hatching questions. First timer!

    See, there's so much conflicting info! I moved her because everything I read said she can't stay in the nesting box and needed to be separated. I don't have a candler, and when I tried it was awful at it...couldn't see anything. I guess I should get one. This is all so stressful! Lol

    Broody hatching questions. First timer!

    Ok. I have an adult Brahma that I got from a swap about 2 months ago. Last week we realized she's broody and since I've lost so many girls to foxes I was super excited to hatch some eggs. I have an EE rooster and 2 EE hens so I decided I'd let her sit on some EE eggs (I'm not even sure if 2 EEs...

    They were supposedly sexed pullets, but I think one is a cockerel…what do you think? They are about 3 months old.

    Early bloomers?

    The rooster is an EE. I have BO, SLW, BR RIR. The only one I know for sure laid an egg is a BO. My son saw her do it.

    Early bloomers?

    I have 12 LF birds I got from a hatchery that I was told hatched 1/19. So they're not yet 4 months. The 2 that turned out to be Roos started crowing at 8 weeks (I gave one away, and the one we kept mates them all, all day long!) and last week we got our first 2 eggs! I wasn't expecting eggs till...

    Silkie thread!

    I hope they get it eventually! We've been putting them inside every night since they've been going outside at about 7-8 weeks old...so for at least 2 months! They sleep in a pile that includes the other 2 silkies and about 4 or 5 of the LF that sleep with them on the floor :). The rest of the...

    Haven't asked before...guess I'm just in good company :) I did try putting a light in there too. I love these silkies but they're making me crazy!

    Silkie thread!

    Someone please help me figure out how to get my silkies to go in the coop at night! I have 3, 4 month old silkies and 11 LF. All the LF and 1 Silkie go inside at dark. The coop is not high off the ground. It's sitting maybe 1 ft off the ground on cinder blocks. I made sure the ramp wasn't too...
