    Broody's Egg Tragedy :(

    I had business in town last night so my daughter and hubby collected eggs from my hens last night. One of my BCM hens had been broody and was setting eggs in one of the laying boxes and they collected her eggs. I didn't know this until I was gathering the eggs for our eating egg customers this...

    When shipped eggs go BAD :(

    I received a beautifully packed dozen of eggs today that didn't smell right when I first opened the box. One of the eggs were cracked and stunk to high heaven but the rest were fine, air cells looked great, too. I have received 100s of shipped eggs before some in great shape some smashed but I...

    Culling BCM Cockerels?

    I know, I know, I'm thinking about this probably way too early but I'm hoping for a little insight. I have 14 BCM cockerels (Wade Jeane lines) that are 2mos old which I would like to eventually cull down to 5 birds. Juvenile feathering can be so different from adult plumage I know I could...

    Just lost a 2wk old chick, trying to figure out why?

    I had a 2wk old chick die this morning. The chick was from purchased eggs that I hatched myself. Hatched in a sanitized bator and placed in a sanitized brooder. The brooder is at 90F under the heat light and the chicks are not clustered under the light either. The brood of chicks was not...

    First Staggered Hatch and I Got a Question

    Hi! I'm setting 14 eggs today and another 12 a week from today. I have a bator that I will be using for a hatcher. I'm thinking it might be a good idea to "pre-heat" the batch that I'm setting next week in the hatcher before adding them to group that I set this week. Is that a good idea or am...

    Hatching Silkies...At Which Humidity Do You Prefer???

    Hi! I just hatched my first batch of silkies using the humdity recommended by the breeder I purchased the eggs from: 60% for days 1 through 18 then 70% on the 18th day to hatch. This is higher humidity than I have used to hatch my large fowl but it seemed work great for the silkies. I would...

    Zipped and Died?

    I am just so sad right now. I had this little silkie guy pip on Thursday (40hrs ago) not make any progress til about an hour ago. He fully zipped his shell very quickly, then died. I can believe it. This is a first for me. I'm wondering if he died from exhaustion because I cannot find anything...

    When do chicks drown?

    Are drowned chicks a result of fluid building up throughout the incubation or is it a result of high humidity during the last few days of incubation. I've only had one chick that was obviously drowned in my first 3 hatches and it was when I was hatching a large amount of egg in my 1588. I always...
