    Is this enough ventilation?

    Without understanding your explanation completely, I can say two things. If in doubt, you likely don't have enough ventilation. And secondly, if you are building your roof around a tree and it isn't completely enclosed, you likely will have a predator problem. Chickens have tiny respiratory...

    Dominant vs Recessive White

    I'm not a genetics expert and I don't know how this pertains to your situation. But years ago, I had an ongoing issue with white feathers showing up on black hens after their first molt. Not roosters but only hens. I had a discussion with a poultry genetic expert residing in Europe. She...

    Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

    Everywhere I go, I'm the oldest in the building. Early 1952 I don't feel old but always wonder who the old man in the mirror is. Who let him in here?

    Sneezing in flock. 2 chickens passed.

    You obviously have something serious going on. On the surface it is likely respiratory but there could be multiple maladies affecting them.

    Is my chicken gonna lay soon?

    This time of year, depending on your latitude, day length is anywhere from 8 to 20 minutes shorter than it was a week before. That has a significant effect on ovulation, and a bird nearing point of lay will be delayed due to light/dark cycle effect on the pineal gland.

In my experience, females hatched from those eggs tend to lay undersized eggs. I agree that stopping turning near the end isn’t a problem. The turning problem is...

    29 day duck eggs, live, no pips or signs of hatching.

    I understand that but unless you have a reliable base temperature, you don't know what you are adjusting to accomplish. Until verified, you are working with unknown nebulous values.

    29 day duck eggs, live, no pips or signs of hatching.

    The incubator thermometer cannot be relied upon. They are notoriously inaccurate. I can almost guarantee, if you use a guaranteed accurate or calibrated independent thermometer
