    Magicfly incubator help

    Hi, first time incubating! I just put my eggs in the incubator and realized it doesn't have a hygrometer. I ordered a thermometer with humidity guage that I can view from my phone but that won't be here for 2 days. 1. Will the humidity be ok for 2 days without knowing what it is? 2. How much...

    Light in coop?

    Does putting a light inside the coop actually work for getting eggs in the winter? How many hours should I keep it on, or should I keep it on all night? I haven't gotten a single egg in almost 2 months, and it's just now getting a little chilly where I live. 2 of the 6 have molted and gotten...

    Speckled Sussex hen or roo?

    I have an 11 week old speckled Sussex that was said to be female and sexed at the hatchery. It doesn't have as much white spots on the back as I see in pics of hens and I think it may have the iridescent coloring in the sunlight. The comb isn't bigger or redder then all my other chicks of the...

    Salmon faverolle, hen or roo?

    I read salmon faverolles show at 2-3 weeks by their feather colors, but all the posts I've read I don't see the differences they see to tell them apart! I wish I knew how the place I got them from could tell they were hens. I think I'm just skeptical, lol. I will update with pics as they grow!

    Salmon faverolle, hen or roo?

    I bought chicks at 5 days old and was told they're all hens, but I don't know how they knew the gender so early. I suspect #1 is a rooster because there's more black than #2. They are 2 weeks and 1 day old. I also have 2 speckled Sussex chicks that were hatched at the same time but one has WAY...

    Is this a rooster?

    I got 2 Easter eggers a few months back and was told they're hens. One turned out to be a rooster, they looked the same except he started crowing and his tail feathers started getting long and curling. We lost him to a raccoon attack 2 weeks ago, and since then this one started crowing and being...

    What causes these weird eggs?

    I give them mealworms and sometimes frozen corn. It has been incredibly hot, this was the first week theres been any relief! I do catch them eating the outside cats food sometimes! Maybe that could be causing the issues? Heres another example of an egg I got today. They seem like their normal...

    What causes these weird eggs?

    Everything I'm reading is saying too much calcium or stress. They are extremely spoiled, happy hens who free range throughout the day so I dont think it could be stress. Could they be getting calcium through free ranging?

    What causes these weird eggs?

    Hi, I have 2 RIR's, a California White, and a golden laced wyandotte hen and they've been laying for a little under 2 months now. For some reason I almost always get speckled eggs (sometimes white specks, sometimes black specks) from my brown eggs, and lately my California White's eggs have been...

    Shipping eggs for eating in very hot weather?

    Hi, my hens just started laying and I want to send some to my friend who lives in California which is across the country from me. It has been in the 90's here and the same for her. Is it safe to ship them with 2 day shipping with it being so hot? They are not fertile and will be for eating. I...

    HELP please! Internal pip 25 hours ago, no external pip

    Just wanted to update everyone. Sadly, my friend does not keep canada geese. A wildlife rehabber is going to pick her up on Thursday. I'm so sad I wont get to visit her as an adult but I'm still happy that I saved her and she has a chance at a full life now. She seems lonely and bored whenever I...

    HELP please! Internal pip 25 hours ago, no external pip

    I do love her, and I definitely don't want to break the law and I want her to be with other geese. It will be so sad if my friend doesnt have domestic canada geese because I will miss her, but I will have to trust that rehabbers will take good care of her and she will have a happy life. Fingers...

    Oh no. Yes, iits feet are all black. This has just been a mess! My friend is going to tell me this why she doesnt interfere at all. Will I be ok with the gosling until Monday? Now I'm worried it needs to be with a rehabber asap so I'm not making it harder to learn to be in the wild, but it's...
