So I ordered eggs thru the mail. Let them set 12 hours out side the incubator. Set them and intentionally did not turn on my turner just so I could have 12 more hours for the air cells, needless to say I’m on day 3 and just remember to turn it on, crisis or no? Help plz!
I am having a problem, of course I am by myself today with 10 puppies and mom, I ran out of her commercial dog food. I cannot leave, I have ground venison, pork, plain whole fat yogurt, and steel cut oats. Will this do until this evening? Any ideas
ETA she is very hungry!!!
Had a littler of 10 last night.
2 very loving and loyal family dogs meet in the yard one night while I was too tired to keep them separated, 63 days later we are a family of 13 fur babies, who knows how many chickens, 3 kids, DH and I.
Will be ready the second week of June, have a local vet...
I need talked down please! I am on day 4 of set eggs and I’m dying to get in and candle! I’m trying to make it to day 7 without disturbing the incubator, like its extremely dialed in 99.7 per 3 thermostats, humidity at 25% per 2 hydrometers. The only prob being is they are shipped pullet eggs...

So day 19 is here soon to be 20, 4 of my 9 eggs have pip'd. I have this crazy fear that I may have placed my eggs wrong.
Here is the crazy, what if the others are trying to pip but I placed the egg down facing and the chicks are trying to poke holes in the bottom where the egg is on the mat? I...
I just set eggs for the second time. I am wanting to "dry hatch" my eggs. The first time my humidity was 25% up thru day 18, post hatch I decided that was too low, I wanted to get it at 35- 40. I added just a bit of water and now it jumped to 58-60% on day one. should I follow the cardinal rule...
My mother in law was over today while I was at work, thinking she was being helpful, washed my dishes, ran the vacuum, and put the eggs in the egg carton, on the counter away in the fridge. This lasted for about 9 hours until I got home from work. Any thoughts or advice? Good still or not? Thx!
I have 6 ducklings and 8 chicks I picked up yesterday. I am brooding them together, my question is the flock raiser is safe for the baby pullets? I know the niacin is sufficient in the flock raiser for the ducks, but is the protein too high for the chicks?
TIA
I have 25 barred rock chicks in my brooder with 25 GL wyndotte, bought from different places ( one tsc, other hatchery). The GL Wyndotte are doing fabulous, growing healthy, the barred rock not so much. Day three brings pasty butt, I cannot stay on top of it, I am quickly making some fermented...
Thank you for pushing back my shipping day and not notifying me, I've wasted all morning glued to my chair waiting for my phone call. I'm sorry that I had to call you to find this out, also for for the fact that you won't share the actual tracking number with me. I was hoping for a good...
