    Question about timing

    I found my hen sitting on some eggs a week ago. I was going to let her do her thing, but she abandoned the nest, so I took the eggs and put them in the incubator. I candled last night and they are further along than I thought, but there are some a few days behind the others (other hens were...

    I somehow only hatch roosters

    I tried incubating this year. First batch was rough, the Guage was off and I didn't have a 2nd one in there. 2 hatched, 1 was picked off by a fox (we lost about 15 this spring, in a few days, but the run is sorted now) the other is a nice little roo. Second hatch went well. Some sex link, and...

    Coccidia...

    So 3 days ago I had 20 happy healthy active 8 week old chickens. 2 days ago I went to lock up the coop and found 2 dead. Saw coccidia poop, and started treatment next day, yesterday. 3 died overnight. 2 more have died today, and all are showing signs. I'm going to lose all 20 within 48 hours...

    Un viable chicks in eggs

I have a few who pipped and have made no progress in a few days, but they are alive. I helped one of these out, despite it being day 25, because it was cheeping at me and I...

    End of day 21, and nothing

    Its my first time using an incubator. It's a forced air with egg turner, and I didn't know that the temp and humidity readings weren't to be trusted so I wasn't double checking them. Day 5 the temp dropped to 97 for a few hours, but I fixed the issue. Candled at day 7, had a few infertile that I...

    Are these pullets or roos?

    Hey there! My hen went broody a while back, and she was very persistent. So we let her sit and hatch a few adopted eggs. 2 hatched, both from brown eggs, and now we have 2 chickies about 9-10 weeks old. I don't know the breeds, just know they had some buff orps, Easter Eggers, and some others...
