    multiple hatches in same incubator - are cabinets different?

    I have read through many of the threads with the multiple hatch date questions. But i really did not find what I was looking for, at least I don't think. I understand the problem with humidity, close hatch dates having to open and remove chicks during hatches, and all that jazz. So my...

    This afternoon starts day 25. Last night I decided to water candle my eggs since every one else hatched by Thursday afternoon. I have had nothing, no pips or movement of any kind.

    Excess roosters

    I have been searching on here and cant seem to find anything posted yet. I was wondering how you keep your excess roosters you plan on eating. Do you keep all the chicks together or will the roo's start fighting because of the hens? If I plan to butcher them, do i move them to their own pen...

    Any guesses?

    #1 # 2 and 3 I am guessing 1 hen, 2 roo, and I am at at loss for 3. number 3 is between the two sizes and the comb is between looks also. They are 4 week old Wyandotte mix. I say mix because Rooster is a blue, and the mom could be silver, golden, or blue. Maybe that is not a mix, but I cant...

    Price for sellling eggs

    I have read several post about selling eggs, however most of them are several years old. That leads me to ask the question again. How much do you sell your eggs for? And do you sell mixed sizes, I have med and large layers? Before my horrific summer of hardly any eggs, I was selling an 18ct for...

So far two have hatched today and now I have the urgency to interfere with the location. the highs are...

    Timid Broody Hen suggestions needed

    My smallest, most picked on (by both groups) went broody and is sitting on 8 eggs. They don't pick her featherless but they always chase her off or fuss at her. She is a blue Wyandotte under one year of age. I was very surprised when she went broody, but I am sure she is, not doubt in my mind. I...

    Do I have a rooster?

    They are Brown Leghorns. They are the same age, however as you can see, one is much more developed than the other. I know the females have a flop over comb (sorry for probably calling it the wrong name, I am so new at this), but the one is so much more pronounced. Is the one a rooster? They are...
