HI BYCers!
I'm just wondering whats wrong or is there something wrong with my chick. I have a 6 month old white leghorn that laid her first egg exactly 5 days ago. The egg was small and shell-less but after that no more eggs from her. :<
I cant tell because her 2 companions in the run are...

hi guys. i have chickens in an enclosed run. they barely have grass to eat and they just don't eat lettuce and other greens.
so im planning to imitate grass by sprouting oats and other grains i can try.
do u think this will work?
here is an example (not my pic). after they have grown this far...

hi guys. i just like to share with you.
the leghorn is my favorite breed, so i rescued 2 ex-battery leghorns.
after 2 months of their stay with me i already had to say goodbye.
we were about to move to a new home at that time and i needed to sell all of them.
about 2 days after that, i was...
hi guys. this is my first time incubating eggs. i recently encountered a problem about incubation but 2 of my 3 leghorn eggs died before i figured out that they need ventilation. i feel sooo stupid about that but i already poked vent holes. this wont be a problem if i still have my leghorns to...
well, 2 weeks of trying to stabilize my incubator temp with a crappy thermostat, i finally gave up.
it fluctuates too much and its hard to control.
so i decided to buy a new and reliable one but im not sure what will i choose from these two:
a digital heat controller made specifically for air...
i bought it from an automatic shop. they say it's used for food warmers, incubators and water heaters. just a cheap one.
the temp range now fluctuates from 95.5 to 98.5 after i adjusted it a bit. it's getting close.
but if it will just stay there. i'll buy a better one. :)
thanks. :)
hi guys. made my first incubator. sorry it looks horrible :D
don't mind the digital thermometer, it reads later than the analog.
my thermostat starts the bulb (25 watts) to warm the incubator up to 99.5 F (37.5 C)
then wait for the temp to drop 94.1 F (34.5 C) before it lights again.
im...
hi guys. i made a homemade cylindrical styro incubator, still air with 14-watt CFL light bulb near the bottom. its about 1 foot in height and .75 foot in diameter. the egg rack is at the middle. it has a a hole on top and on the sides (the same level as the bulb).
i dont have any problem with...
