    Humidity and turning?

    Hey all... Still waiting for my eggs from the coop comp, so I set some in my homemade bator keeping the turner one free. I have been turning 3-6 times a day, so I assume that is enough? As far as H here in Orlando, it's like swimming when ever your out side... no water in the Bator= 45pct, I...

    Homemade bator and eggs set

    Made a cooler bator and it is holding temps nicely with < 1/2 deg change... I made a turner out of some dowel rod and a lil wood, and it works great. I put 25 in there to give it a go. First time trying, but have read plenty here so I think I will be good to go. I'll keep y'all updated.

    Chicken lice?

    I noticed one of our Rir's pickin the butt of out BR hen, I got her when she went in and there is an infestation of smaller than fleas running wild when exposed to the light. I looked at another but none, so what do I need to take care of this I'm sure it has to make her feel miserable? Her vent...

    Broodie silkie ?

    No she isn't and isn't laying yet, and I am unsure of age. So I have a lot of variables, but it's the wife's pet and were going to place Quail eggs under when she is, so My question I guess is?... How often does your silkie go broodie? at what age? I imagine she will be laying in a month or...

    The Duplex if full

    Picked up 4 more hens and a roo, so that makes 10 total... I swapped the roos since I don't know their bloodlines and want to avoid inbreeding. One set is seven weeks, and one is 5 weeks so I guess it won't be long now. It's funny that the newest batch I got this morn is a lot less skittish than...

    Egg Question

    I hear you store eggs to hatch around 60 deg. Well in Nature when a hens broody, I assume she lays one a day, and dosen't sit on them, so they all hatch at the same time? So why would one need to store at 60 or so?
