    Ouch, my rooster injury

    Hi everyone, just need some advice. My rooster attacked me earlier today, it's the worst time yet, although there was only a puncture wound (which managed to penetrate my boot) and very little blood, my ankle has now swelled up and I'm having difficulty putting weight on it. I've had a few run...

    Feeling guilty

    Hi all, Just need some advice. I have a hen who's 50% of her feathers have been missing for some time. She seems happy as far as I can tell as she's eating, drinking and laying daily. I was concerned as her poor skin is red raw and inflamed often. She is the same age as my rooster, my other...

    Should I be concerned?!

    One of my eggs started moving last night (day 20) there's a small crack in the air sac end but very little has happened since. I'm probably being over sensitive but is this normal? It's the first time I've hatched my own eggs so could possibly be a silly thing to ask

    Humidity after pipping

    Hi, Just a quick question. Once the chicks start pipping do I continue to add water to keep the humidity at the correct level or leave them well alone

    Last few days

    Hi everyone, I'm based in the UK and my most recent batch (2 remaining) are at day 18. Very excited if slightly nervous as this is the 4th or 5th time I've tried to hatch eggs from my flock. Sadly I chose one of those crappy dome incubators but on the good side this is the farthest I've got. My...

    Maybe a silly question

    Probably a daft question but I have 2 live eggs that are incubating at day 9/10. I've had them lying with pointed end down, one egg has a definite air sac at the top the other isn't so clear. Both embryos are bouncing around should I be concerned about the unclear air sac?

    Advice please

    Evening all, just need some advice really. I have one of those little 7 egg incubators with an inbuilt thermometer, I've also got this thermometer /hydrometer that I've placed inside. Where would be the most effective area to have it to get the most accurate reading?

    Let's try again

    Just watched a video on how to use my incubator, it's answered a lot of questions and now I know what went wrong. Fingers crossed this time

    If at first you don't succeed....

    Evening all, Sadly, my attempt at hatching wasn't to be this time. The chicks seemed like they were developing but obviously not easy to tell. Each time I've tried, they've developed that bit further and realising my mistakes and adjusting accordingly. I've been beating myself up how I've not...

    No babies

    It's day 23 for 2 of my eggs they seem to be growing as they should up until the end but they have failed to hatch. 2 eggs left are on day 20 but I'm not positive they'll hatch after the first 2 but time will tell

    Day 21 has arrived!!

    Well it's day 21 for 2 of my eggs. No sign yet but I keep thinking I can hear slight tapping (my 11 year old says I'm just loosing my mind) think I've developed hatch-anxiety. Trying not to get my hopes up but fingers crossed
