    Prevent drowning

    At this point in time there's not much you can do to erase the first 18 days humidity levels.....just hope for the best.

    Prevent drowning

    Those humidity levels are pretty high. I never incubate above 30% and don't go above 60% for the last three days. Everyone has to figure out what works for their location, but those levels would be too high for most I think.

    Today marks the 21st week since hatching and NO EGGS !!!

    I understand why everyone can't wait for their pullets to start laying, but it's better for them longterm not to start too early Some of mine don't start until at least 30 weeks as a rule.

    Quote: I never told her not to buy...just to take precautions if she did. Not promoting a double standard at all. I sell birds and I'd never advise someone to take them home and just dump them in with the birds they already have anymore than I would do that with a new bird. I have too much...

    Quote: You should quarentine them in an area not close to where you're planning on housing your chicks if you decide to get some. Buying chicks locally is not a bad idea all the time but there are precautions to take. I sell my extras at a local poultry auction. There is nothing wrong...
