    Tell me I am not crazy -- that developing eggs do gain weight!!

    I was telling my boyfriend about how I can tell chicks are developing in the eggs in my incubator because they are gaining weight -- and he laughed at me, like I'm some silly girl. He says the egg can never weigh more than what it does when it is laid. That the material inside remains the...

    Should I Vaccinate New Chicks?

    I will soon hatch out a my third clutch of chicks and am wondering about vaccinating. I did not vaccinate my previous hatches. If I want to vaccinate these upcoming chicks, how would I do it, with what? Never have I poked anything with a needle. Do any of you really vaccinate your own? Surely...

    What is wrong with this chick? She needs help NOW!!! (Please)

    Two weeks ago I treated a 6-week-old bantam cochin chick for "splay leg". I amped up her vitamins and splinted her legs with pipe cleaners. She was hand fed several times a day. After five days I removed her splints and she seemed fine... for two days... now she walks/scoots backward. Using...

    What do I need to know about showing?

    I might want to start showing my birds -- but I don't know where to begin? To those of you who show, where would I start? Are there county or regional shows? Are there unexpected downsides? Tell me what you know about showing birds? Thank you, Jenny

    Getting the Humidity Up

    Assuming I can get the humidity stable in the first place, when I go into lock-down, how will I get the humidity up. It seems to go up and down inexplicably. I think I need some hatch buddies. Is there anyone who can hold me hand through this for a couple of days... or even through the whole...

    What do I do first?

    When my eggs arrive, do they need to rest or can I pop them right into the incubator? If they rest, for how long do they need to "rest"? They do need to sit still for a while, right? I've read all kinds of information about temperatures and humidity and turning and the pointy side down... but I...

    Where would I get a Water Wiggler?

    A previous post asked what a water wiggler is. Someone sent a link to a novelty site that sells them at 2 dozen minimum. I need one -- where would I get just one? Where did you get yours? Thanks, Jenny
