I'm not freaking out because I've had chickens do this to be before. However this time I am just a little bit worried. One of my hens wasn't inside when I went to lock them up and it's been raining for a few hours, she is most likely under the porch (or dead, that would be a bummer). Will she be...
Well, I had a hatch rate of 29 out of 34 which I was pretty proud of. The chicks are now 3 days old and all but one seemed to be very strong.Today, a chick laid dead in the brooder and it wasn't even the one that got issues.A what I thought strong chick just dropped dead. I'm a 230 lb man and im...
Just making sure here, but I took out the egg turner and went to bed. As I should have expected the temp dropped a little bit. Im raising it back up right now. I'm sure they are OK, but another person saying it would make me feel a bit better.
Long story short, I think the wireless temp thing got stuck under the egg turner and it couldn't turn for like 3-4 days? I just candled them and 35 out of 48 are still alive. I saw many moving so they are alive as far as I know. Will the little buggers be ok?
Hello friends, I am using an exoterra hydrometer and I don't know if its broken or what.I barley have any water in the incubator and its hitting the 80 on this thinkg. Am I reading it right? Im picking up the eggs today and putting them in tomorrow. Fast help please.
The eggs are not fertile. I was planning on purchasing fertilized eggs to incubate. Maybe I could put them under Mable? Has anyone had any experience doing this? Thanks for your reply. Sure appreciate it!
Thanks for your reply. The chicken run in right next to the deck, so she runs over for food and water. We are worried about her because it is getting so cold out and predators. We do not have a rooster and do not have a big enough coop for one.
My favorite chicken (Mable) has been missing for the past week. We found her sitting on who knows how many eggs under our porch.What do we do, should I move her? Take the eggs? Lock her up? I don't know so please help.
I want some hens that will be laying by spring, when should I pop some eggs in? Also, Do you guys know of a good cheap incubator because I Chinese one I bought is really iffy.
