    What do I do now that hen has hatched eggs?

    I've been searching on here for my answer, but it is getting dark and I still haven't found it. My yr old hen just hatched her first 2 eggs!! Hooray! Won't my other hen go after the chicks? Do I need to move the mama and chicks? Thanks!

    Weed Control that is safe for my chickens?

    This is only my second summer of chicken-dom, they are currently for pets and eggs. I have 2 adult hen, 1 roo and 3 babies that we hatched about a month ago. We let the adults free range in the evenings and all day Sat/Sun while we're home. We have a little less than an acre. How in the world...

    panting baby

    I have one chick out, and one chick with half the shell stuck to its back still, but almost out. The first one is about 24 hours old. It keeps walking around with its mouth open. Is this normal? Is it too hot? my temps keep going all over the place.

    fan question

    I am guessing I've had another failed attempt at incubating. Day 23 and no action. I saw on here some place that a small fan from radio shack was recommended for use in the bator, along with a cell phone charger cord. But I can't find the post now. Can anyone remember the details on this? Thanks!

    Oh no.

So I decided to reach in and get one to candle and when I touched it, I could feel it moving! It was great! I thought that maybe by tomorrow we would have...

    Candling: at day 12 will the insides move when you turn the egg?

    I am new. I asked this question somewhere else yesterday, but I can't find it now. When the eggs are 12 days, will the dark part inside roll when you turn the egg or will it remail stationary? I have some of each. Yesterday was the first time I read about exploding eggs, so I would like to get...

    I'm not sure what I am getting into!! But I'm new here.

    Hi I'm new here and somehow my son roped me into this chicken thing. One day when my friend was dropping off eggs for us, he asked her for one egg that he could hatch the next time. That was 2 weeks ago. Now we have made an incubator, and have 18 eggs in it. The hatching should start on the...
