Some had piped and some hadn't. I put 7 under one that were pretty far along(2 had piped). 5 that were farther along but not as...

    Pale watery winter eggs

    What are some good supplements to get back that orange color and the thick creamy texture back to my eggs. I know they don't get as much forage in the winter. I've started giving them greens, heads of lettuce and mix in alfalfa pellets to their feed. I haven't given this time to see if it works...

    Day 14 small air sack

    I candeled this morning and drew lines for the air sacks. They seem small for day 14. For the first week my humidity was 60% because my hygrometer was off. For the next 7 I lowerd the humidity to about 45. I took all water out when I candeled this morning. Will this cause me problems since they...

    First time humidity questions

    I've got my temperature set(took 3 different thermometers). I got 2 hygrometers(made sure they were right, incubator reads about 10 percent lower than both of these), one for inside incubator and one for the room which is in the basement. Humidity in the basement is 48%. Should I just not use...

    Incubator temp off. I think.

    I got the hova bator starter kit and put eggs from my hens in. Yesterday was day 7 and I candeled them. 38 out of 41 are going good. I added a thermometer to check the incubators accuracy. Incubator is reading 99.9-100.1. The thermometer I placed is reading 104. Which do I believe. The...

He is a little lethargic but seems ok. Anything else I should do or just let time handle it. I've sat watch for...
