I hve 10 Cream Legbar eggs in my incubator. Humidity has been around 35-45% and temp has been at 99.5-100°. I increased humidity yesterday to 55-60% by putting in 2 damp, clean sponges. and it's now day 21. No wobbles, peeps or pips. What did I do wrong?! With my first hatch we were hearing...
I have four roosters. All crowing. All day. I am taking two to be possessed tomorrow, but I have one problem. One of my roosters (actually my favorite) recently started jumping up at people that get too close. He jumps from behind normally, or from the side. But he doesn't seem to ever do it...

Hi there- I just wanted to say hi to my fellow chicken lovers. My mom and I got into chickens a few months ago when a friend gave us two Cochins. Within a few months we were up to about 30 chickens, most of which we are starting from chicks. All are doing good now, though we lost 2 Marans and a...
