I have a forced air styro incubator, 3 chicks have hatched, humidity is around 70-74... do I need to remove the red plugs to open the vents, or remove one? I have about 35 eggs in, and about 10 have pipped, besides the 3 that have hatched. I'm on day 19. (bantam eggs)
I finally got the pictures on! lol I had to do it on the laptop instead of my phone.
Anyway... This is big blue. She or he is "supposed to be" a hen. She's 6 weeks old.
She's always had a lot brighter comb, and I'm just getting into chickens so this is my first experience besides the...
I ran across a thread about spraying the chickens' feet and legs with something to keep them healthy.
We have 5 that my sons will show at the fair in the fall, I'd like to know what this spray is to keep them looking good? Any other tips to have healthy looking birds, too.
Thanks!
Does anyone use the diatomaceous earth with added calcium from tractor supply? How do you use it? Will it keep flies away?
I just read online that you need non-calcium to use for bugs and mites?
I have 4 blue laced red wyandotte hens and a BLRW rooster.
Will the offspring be blue laced red Wyandotte?
I also have 2 blue Wyandotte hens.
How will these mix with the rooster?
I'm trying to plan my housing arrangements.
