    School hatch lockdown on long weekend

    I live 2 miles from my school and I’m in Florida with the highest humidity, possible! Roads would be smooth as they are city roads. However, humidity in this bator is hard to keep steady….temp is fine. With those variables, any rec’s?

    School hatch lockdown on long weekend

    Incubator will be on lockdown over a 3 day weekend. I can have an administrator let me in on Saturday but will the humidity stay high enough for Sunday and Monday without being checked? Or should I take them home on day 16 or 17? Opinions??

    Injured 2 day old chick

    Thank you for this. I have antibiotic on its head…wasn’t sure if I could do eyes or not. I’ll add that to the routine.

    Injured 2 day old chick

    Need hive mind advice. Sadly, one of my older girls got to a chick the day after it hatched (never had this happen to me with the broody mom present). It caused bad head trauma and has yet to open its eyes. However, it seems happy and eats when hand fed (feeding it egg yolk and green tea...

    3 dead chickens in 3 months

    Hi there! Just trying to figure this out. I have had 1 chicken die per month for the last 3 months. I only have 2 left. I’ve been raising chickens for over a decade and this is an enigma. They are fine one day and then die the next. Any ideas?

    So do I REALLY need a walk-in coop?

    I have had 2 walk in coops and loved them. However, I had neighbor problems. Thankfully, my county adopted a backyard chicken ordinance and I was able to keep my girls but had to go with a much much smaller coop. It’s been an adjustment but it’s all I’m allowed. With that, I’ve made it work...

    Painting the inside of the coop, is it a good idea?

    I have the inside of my coop painted and really like it. I think it helps with smells and tiny critters being able to lodge in the coop. The chickens never peck at it so I can't see how it would be harmful.

    flighty birds

    I haven't had that breed for awhile. They were really mean for me but not necessarily flighty. Probably depends on the parents temperament.

    Can a bantam hatch from a full size egg

    I bought fertilized eggs from a friend. She has a bantam roo who obviously fertilized these eggs. I just thought that because they were hatched from a full sized egg, that meant they would be full sized chickens.

    Can a bantam hatch from a full size egg

    That makes sense. So the full sized mother laid a regular egg which was holding a bantam-fertilized embryo. The roo was a bantam. I'm not exactly sure who the mom was.

    Can a bantam hatch from a full size egg

    I'm asking if a bantam can come from a full sized egg. I know what I put under my broody hen. They were full-sized eggs. But the chicks that hatched are bantams. I'm asking how that can be.

    Can a bantam hatch from a full size egg

    I have 2 chicks (about 16 weeks old) who appear to be bantams. However, I'm certain they hatched from full sized eggs. Is that possible?

    losing head feathers (pictures)

    So that’s normal? I’ve kept chickens for several years now and this is new for me. It’s starting to happen with a broody who hatch chicks last weekend. She hasn’t been with the flock for them to do this to her.

    losing head feathers (pictures)

    Great thought but I don’t have a rooster and I just re-homed a bully so there’s peace in the flock.

    losing head feathers (pictures)

    Hello. I realize this is an old thread I’m wondering if there is anyone who had experienced this. If I took a picture of 2 of my hens it would be the same as the ones posted in this thread. Now a third is losing them. I live in Florida so it can’t be frostbite. Thanks!
