So what does everyone do for heat for the babies while we are there?

Oh no! I sealed several eggs out if this current shipment with candle wax but they all quit early. I was JUST about to post a question about cracked eggs when I saw yours! My toddler bumped my arm when candeling and I dropped this poor girl. Lock down is this Sunday and she was dancing a couple...
Hi! I have RIR, orpingtons (buff & lavendar), black australorpe, salmon faverolle, ameracuana, and am hatching out some appenzeller spitzhaubens!! We have 3 horses too and an herb farm.
I just made the switch to a non-soy feed. How long do you think it will take before the eggs would be considered "non-soy" containing? Do you think there is a withdrawal period?

We are getting chicks. Unfortunately i have no where to put Ooga the rooster unless I lock him out in the run or in a dog crate. Are you thinking he might hurt the chicks? I will watch them for awhile after introducing them to make sure everything is ok. I've read all the threads i could find...
