I've heard cheeping for at least 36 hours. Only 3 eggs in. Only 1 cheeping. I finally opened it to see which one it was- was considering helping and humidity had dropped. It was pipped on the bottom. I panicked and rolled it over. I'm having trouble keeping the humidity up this time and I'm...
My 6yo son has never done showmanship and is wanting to at the Ohio Nationals. Does anyone know what they will ask him? What he should wear? What should he practice?
It was suggested that they bring a different bird for showmanship because judging takes place at the same time. Should I worry...

I've been desperately wanting some D'Uccle chicks and found someone who has 3 left. She says it's just the 3 "red" chicks in this photo and she's no good at guessing gender. I look at it as a newbie and think the 3 that look red to me (the ones more in front) would be roosters because they're...
Hi! This is my first hatch ever and I'm days away, at least I think I am.
The countdown on the incubator says 5 days but I'm pretty positive I put them in on a Tuesday. I did unplug it once briefly in the first few days to add a surge protector so now I'm unsure if it reset then or not. I feel...
