    Thanks to you both. I've held steady at 65% humidity and 99 degrees all day. We'll see, I guess. Will post pics...if I have babies. :)

    In lockdown: temp and humidity dropped sharply overnight. My first time...

    I'm so sorry to be asking a question on incubation that's been so thoroughly covered in multiple posts. Which I've read to the point of complete confusion. So, it's my first time incubating. Someone gave me 9 Beilefelder eggs and I didn't have a broody to stick them under so I ran to TSC and...

    5 weeks, no eggs, still sitting

    I have researched the forums and can find nothing on this so I thought I'd ask. I have two hens who are broody. One hen started sitting several weeks ago - at least 4. I didn't mark the date as I usually do. I do know that we gave her 7 eggs at the time we moved her to one of the "nurseries" we...

    TWO sick hens, different symptoms, Please Help

    I lost Ajax. I went to TSC and bought the Tylan 50, the syringes and needles. When I finally got home (it's a long way) I walked back to her kennel and she was already in her death throes. I'm so heartsick I couldn't get to her in time, that she suffocated to death. At least I know now how to...

    TWO sick hens, different symptoms, Please Help

    Thank you! I'm off to Tractor Supply shortly for the Tylan. I just gave her a few more drops of tetra/honey water. She's not just gaping mouth open and closed now, she's really raspy and stretching her neck out for each breath with a gurgling sound. Do you think I got it in her lungs? Oh, Gosh...

    TWO sick hens, different symptoms, Please Help

    First hen:a brahma hen, 1 year old. Twice in last few months I've found her with huge clumps of dry poop matted in feathers around vent -very heavy clumps. Both times brought her in, soaked her in warm, soapy water, and just picked at it until clean. Put her in kennel in the house til the next...

    My hen is having breathing probs.

    I just found one of mine having the same trouble. But she wasn't even making any noise - just opening and closing her mouth. I just got back from a four day trip. Before I left I noticed she was coughing a bit, but i didn't worry because I know every once in a while one will do that. But when I...

    Help to straighten poor poults toes so she can walk right!

    Thank you. I'll be honest with you - I posted my question before I did my research. Shame on me! I usually don't post a question until I've researched here first. So after I posted I started researching and found out how to do it. One poster on another thread posted this link...

    Help, please, really weird problem w/ new hatch poults

    Well, it's pretty much done now. And I think it will work out. I bought 6 3-day old Langshan chicks from a local man. Tonight I slipped 3 of the chicks under the hen and took the 3 poults. I put the poults in the brooder with the other 3 chicks. They all seem to be getting on well. Upon close...

    Help to straighten poor poults toes so she can walk right!

    This poult hatched 3-4 days ago. A hen hatched them out and I only saw it occasionally but I knew it was weaker but didn't know why. Thought I would give it some time. Tonight I took the poults from the hen and brought them in to the brooder (long story, different thread!). Now I see why it's...

    Help, please, really weird problem w/ new hatch poults

    So, here's the update, Sonnygirl: After extensive conversations with you, kuntrygirl, my friend, Elijah, and a local man I called who raises Standard Bronze and a few breeds of chickens, I'm going to buy 5 3-day old Langshan chicks from him.

    Help, please, really weird problem w/ new hatch poults

    Good morning, sonnygirl! First, I hope your baby boy is alright. Is it something minor, I hope? Is he one of the poults you took from mamma? So, as to my situation. kuntrygirl has also been giving me advice in PMs. The last msg from her simply stated that since I wasn't sure if she can raise...

    Help, please, really weird problem w/ new hatch poults

    Wow. So much to think about. So here's the set up she's in now. It's a small coop made for bantys in its own fenced in yard. You can see the wire where they ran to stick their heads in. Behind it is another coop and run we built that currently holds the 9 7-week olds that I ordered from MPC...
