    What made you happy today?

    Checking on our broody hatched chicks and seeing one jump up onto the hens back instead of under her wings. It was funny as once it got up their it lifted its head high as to say “I am King or Queen of the hill”.

    Outdoor Brooder

    We have used both, but not at the same time. We used heat plates for our last two hatches and I like them better. As has been mentioned, unless it is really cold , chicks will run in and out of the plate . Even standing on top of them at times. I cannot say for sure, but it seems we had less...

    sorry about the loss of the chick. That is always sad. I did not quite understand what accord. What it in the incubator and it got into the water?

    Need advice!! Allowing hen to hatch chicks (our first time doing so), and have location questions

    We just had a broody hen hatch 7 eggs on Saturday. (One chick died though) We did not intend to have chicks but by the time I realized my husband was not willing to take eggs from under a broody hen they had developed. She remained in the nesting box (cut out milk carton with nesting pad)...

    Air sac determines sex.

    It is fascinating to watch hatching chicks but it is also worrisome. I find the best thing is to keep yourself busy. I would love to see pics when they hatch.

    Air sac determines sex.

    Most incubators recommend distilled water, though I never use it. I do not believe it would cause issues of any kind. This past year I went with the dry hatch method. No added water the first 18 days and you add a little water the last 3 and it worked out fine. Since I am in FL there is no...

    Air sac determines sex.

    I can only go in my own experience of hatching. I do not recall ever seeing an evenly distributed air sac on a developing egg. Last year we hatched 21 eggs of them 8 were male and the rest were female.

    Speckled Sussex Roo over Isa Brown chicks

    We just had our broody Buff Orpington hen (Linda’s Stewart) hatch 6 chicks. She is in a coop and run with one Speckled Sussex roo with 10 Isa Brown hens and 7 Speckled Sussex hens. From the color of the eggs they all looked like they were laid by Isa Brown hens as our Speckled Sussex hens lay...

    How many coloured eggs did you get today?

    We have a lot of colors , more important though is we have our first egg from one of our Silverudd Blue pullets. Beautiful green. It is a little dirty because she laid it on the ground.

    Pecan Pie - Yay or Nay!?!?!?!?!

    When it comes to cheesecake it is about small portions and not the huge slabs you get at some places.

    Breed suggestions??

    Welsumer hens and roos have been good foragers for us. We like Barred Rocks as well.

    What Mug Are You Using Today?

    She bought me a Care Bear to boot. I am sure she found it on Amazon

    Breed suggestions??

    We are accidental Jersey Giant owners (We order Barred Rocks). Unfortunately one of them turned out to be a cockerel (8 months old now). He is my least favorite as he likes to spar with us. Cannot turn your back on him. The NJ pullets are fine. That being said we have not had issues with...

    Best incubator for dry hatch

    We dry hatched with a Maticoopx twice with a 80% hatch rate. Bought it off Amazon for less than 150.00. I just checked and it is $119.00 now. Auto turner and a day counter. We also use a two Govee Hygrometer’s for monitoring to ensure temps and humidity. We never went about 35% humidity...

    Pecan Pie - Yay or Nay!?!?!?!?!

    I think a pumpkin or sweet potato pie with praline pecan topping would be delicious. I made a cheesecake years ago with one and it was a hit.
