I decided to build instead of buying as big coop are really expensive and with flimsy materials. My coop is 8x8 with a 18x8 run (including under the coop). I ordered 6 baby chicks, coming on April 20 and hatched 3 as a project with the kids. This is what we have so far.
Hi, we just started to build our coop, but not sure if we should insulate or not. We live in NY, where we are, we get some single digit number on winter, but get get close to 100 a few days in summer, suggestions?
Hi, this is my first time incubating, 3 if my 4 fertile eggs hatched yesterday, I got the eggs from a farm, no idea what they are.
The first one has 5 toes. Thanks.
Finally day 18, I am so nervous, technically day 18 is this evening, I won't be home during the day, I gonna lockdown this evening when after u get back to monitor humidity. Crossing my fingers, this is my trial hatch.
Hi, today is day 7, 4 out of 7 eggs look fertile, 3 looks clear, I can only see the yolk. I am using a homemade incubator with automatic temperature control. Should I wait before I discard?
Jus finished my home made incubator, testing it now, but n9t sure about temperature. The STC-1000 show a tempeture of 37.5, inside thermometer / hygrometer show 104, I am guessing the thermometer inside is the one inaccurate, what do you use?
