    moving into the coop

    My chicks are a little over four weeks and getting crowded. I'm in Wisconsin and it's still getting down into the 20/30s at night. Can I move them into the coop earlier then six weeks if I provide a heat lamp?

    thermometers

    I have two cheap thermometers and a relatively cheap digital thermometer/hydrometer and they are all saying the same temp..so should I assume since they are all reading the same they are accurate? Or what are the odds they are all off the same?

    thought i was hatching chicken eggs!

    Thought I was hatching chicken eggs so when they pipped on day twenty two I thought all was normal. Almost 24 hours later and no movement so I lifted the flap of shell over the pip and there's a duck bill! I wrapped in paper towel and put it back for now. Freaking out!!! What should I do!!

    Egg confusion

    Just found out from the lady I got my eggs from that some might be duck eggs! I am on day 18 and all set for lockdown..for a chicken anyway. Can I tell the difference candling them? Will it hurt any duck eggs to go into lockdown so early? I dont know what to do! If they dont hatch on day 21...
