    Ready to order a new batch of chicks

    I wanted to get some silkies, some bantam Cochins, and maybe a duckie or two. I always order from Ideal, I will just wait, maybe they will be back up this tomorrow.

    Very Interesting Read About Embyronic Light Sensitivity

    Interesting... I incubate in a reptipro 6000 which stays pretty dark inside unless I turn on the light, but it is blueish. I hatch in a homemade incubator with 2 40 watt bulbs, cooler style and I get a pretty high hatch rate.

    When do you stop?

    To pause hatching and go through withdrawals untill you can take it no more and spend way too much on buying enough eggs to overflow your incubator... I want to keep hatching but I have nowhere to put anymore chicks, and am afraid I will have no one to sell them to.

    When do you stop?

    October Is knocking, how long do you hatch? Do you hatch year round or stop for the winter?

    Can this reptile incubator be used for chickens

    Reeeeeeaaly?. I have used my reptipro 6000 (without auto turner) to incubate well over 12 dozen eggs in the past few months... and hatched in it once (I normally put my eggs in a cooler-bator hatcher on day 18)... I must say I have a pretty good hatch rate with it as well. You just need to open...

    Rooster treading hen bare

    I would love info on that too, my Minorca is bald on her back and her head, and 2 others just bald on the back. I am getting rid of my roo for now. I will replace him in the spring and bring in 4 more hens.

    Help with my rooster please

    Bumping back up, I just noticed when I let the chickens out this morning that poor Minnie the Minorca has no feathers on the back of her head and neck. I know she is his favorite, but how can I get him to quit over mating her. Seriously, he is attacking her - twice in the first 5 mins of letting...

    Help with my rooster please

    half of my hens are featherless on their backs now. And one of my naked necks has no feathers on her bow tie. I have 1 EE roo and 6 various hens in with him. His fave (the poor little Buff Minorca), he is going at her all day, mating furiously. Is my ratio off, do I need more hens? Or do I...

    Silkie breeding question

    I am not sure I am asking in the right spot, but here goes. I have 8 silkies and not quite sure of how many are boys yet. I am wanting to breed them and hatch chicks, what is the proper hen to roo ratio for silkies?

    Millie Fluer d'Uccle @ 4 weeks, 2days

    I think eggs. I don't have a coop ready yet, Keiko is living with the silkies for now. I am unsure of shipping chicks older then a day, how expensive is it? My PO would probably be even ruder then the last shipment of chicks, LOL.

    Yes, silkies again - pic heavy

    My blue silkies are 5 weeks old today and I am attempting to try and sex them (I have leg bands on them so I can tell them apart, so I will list them that way), each has a profile, beak, and comb pic - Yellow band (pullet?): Red band (roo?): Lavender band (pullet?): White...

    Belgian D'Uccle laid her first egg and sat for 4 hours only - is it still viable?

    You can leave it there if you want, but it seems like a waste... It is very rare for a pullet to go broody on her first egg.

    Homemade winecooler incubator

    I saw the ones that controlled both, but like you thought separate controllers made moe sense. But then I already had the thermostat. The hygrometer I picked out has a temp probe too, but it is just to help control the humidity.
