    First time hatching, humidity questions

    I do not have a hygrometer, does it need to be ordered online, or can I find it at a store? I have a Hovabator, and the plastic liner-thing has two shallow troughs for water, one is narrow and one is wide. The wide is supposed to be filled at lockdown in addition to the narrow. The narrow...

    Hamburg with big growth in nasal cavity?

    I don't think it looks like your picture Dawg, so maybe it was food. I did think when I pulled it out that it was bright yellow like of a piece of corn or egg yolk. I didn't soften it, just caught my fingernail on a sticking up part and picked it out, and it came out with just a little effort...

    Lost our first chicken yesterday.

    Give your wife a hug from a chicken stranger, and tell her we all understand And I'm sorry for your whole family. Each bird I've lost has been hard to get over, they work their way into our hearts just like any pet. Our first loss was, like everyone else, a favorite - she was a White Crested...

    Ok, I"m stumped on this one, hoping someone can help me figure it out :) Both of my hamburg hens had strange brown bumps/growth in their nasal cavity. One had it on both nasal openings, the other only on one. I've been watching it for a few months, and they don't seem to be in any pain or...
