I am so clumsy, I shouldnt even be allowed to handle the eggs. So I was moving my Birchen Marans eggs from the incubator that I keep them in for 18 days with the turner to a seperate incubator I use for lockdown and I dropped the egg. It did smash some and some yolk came out but when I picked...
PURE Silver Sussex Started Pair plus 4 pullets from this pair. The laying pair is about 1 year old, the 4 pullets are about 15 weeks old. These birds were purchased by me from Greenfire Farms last April as 4-6 week old pairs. They are PURE SILVERS. The picture of the chick is one of the...

8 French Black Copper Marans hatching eggs. Wade Jeane lines. I will include an extra or two if possible.
These eggs are fabulous and very dark. The Marans are very hardy and excellent layers. Great dispositions as well. Shipping is $14.00 Priority Mail via USPS.
Today is day 23 at 2:00, none of my BCM's have hatched. They are rocking, but no pips. This will be the second group that I have had to fail. 7 others in the same incubator hatched, they were Orps. I just wonder if BCM's are harder to hatch and the conditions have got to be perfect. All...

Notice my 1st coop that I started with in the front
He has just been absorbed with this project and we have been building together...
Will a regular person oral or rectal thermometer taped to a piece of thin sheet plastic placed on top of the eggs work?? Kinda like the one that came with the LG except the numbers would be on the thermometer. I wonder??
Greetings
I know this has probably beed discussed before but, WHY in my forced air incubator (LG) is the temp not the same in differend areas?? I have 3 thermometers placed strategically in different locations. 1 on top in the middle, one on top on the side close to the element and 1 taped to...
OK, I set 21 black orpingtons and 2 BCM on Wed 3/3 in my LG still air. My new incubator came today and has a fan. Can I set it up and get the temp right and move the eggs in the turner to the new incubater without compromising?? Has anyone done this?? Will the change from still air to forced...
OK what do I do, could it be the shell is too hard for the chicks to pip through?? I had problems with humidity all along. Some are rocking so do i pip a little place for him to start?? I dont want to lose the whole bunch. Anybody have any suggestions.. Actually its still day 22 until 3:00...
Well I woke up to find my little fellow dead this morning, I probably killed it with the wine. I just hope he went peacefully, and I will miss him. I might mention I used some homeade wine someone had given me and it might have been too strong. Just in case someone else would use it you might...
Cockadoodledoo:
I am new to posting here, have really only been getting advice from all the informative chicken lovers. I have a problem with my HenRoo (we dont know what it is yet) and I have followed what I think is a resolution. She has an impacted craw. Listless, sleepy and not pooping...
