My husband build me a huge 6 foot brooder that I will have on my empty porch for this year. Any suggestions to keeping flies to a minimum out there? Thanks.
My husband just noticed that we had one egg further alongalong than any... We just didn't see it because it pipped and started to zip UNDERNEATH! We just rolled it over without opening the incubator but now it's not moving at all..... Will it be OK??
If anyone has followed my posts. I had one porous egg that looked like it may have an embryo inside. Some of you suggested to leave it in, that chicken eggs usually don't have enough time to get enough bacteria to explode.... My question is,,,, my chicks started pipping, if that one egg is bad...

I have been very unsure candling. Only because i'm never SURE what i'm looking at, my eggs are mostly light brown. Today was day 11. When candling this morning I can see a lot of movement inside the egg. It is so dark on over half the egg so it's difficult to see the embryo. Is this normal, can...
9 eggs in the incubator. I candle today day 7, light brown Australorp eggs. I can see a definite air pocket. half the egg a little darker and then the other half darker. I can see some veins and a small shadow bit barely floating around. Only one really light egg I can see the eye clearly and...
