    How do you clean a shrink wrapped chick?

    I had to help a chick hatch yesterday. To say everything had dried out would be an understatement. He was a glue ball. My wife spent about an hour with a tootbrush and warm water cleaning it up. It helped a lot but the little fellow's fuzz is still matted up. Does anyone know what I can do...

    Simple Coop/Run questions I hope

    My son and I are about to start a small coop/run for 3-4 standard Cochins. We intend to build the coop and fenced in run area with a continous roof, so except for those days when the weather is extremely windy and rainy they should be able to venture outside. I was wondering(I 've read the 4sf...

    Homemade cabinet/mini fridge incubator question

    Brinsea spot check thermometer inaccurate?

    I incubated for the 1st time last month and about 4 days into the process I purchased the Brinsea spot check. At 1st it seemed to be working perfect.

    I've just finished my 1st hatch in my homemade incubator and had great success. However I have a problem with keeping the humidity in check. My heat source and fan are located on top, and I have an automatic egg turner about 2 1/2 inches off the floor. The 2 1/2 inches leaves me enough room...

    Does anyone have any cross breeds of the chickens in the title? I have an Australorp rooster over White Wyandotte pullets and was wondering what colors I might get. These are hatchery birds so I have no ideas of the genetic breakdown(to use the calculator) of either or if that matters. If...

    White wyandottes/Rhode Island Whites....how do they differ?

    This may be a silly question but I had seen pics of some RIWs here recently and was hoping someone could explain the difference between them and White Wyandottes? I have a few of the WWs and to my untrained eye, I really couldn't distinguish between the two. Thanks
