    I haven’t found the answers yet in threads So I’m hoping someone has advice… My incubator was running at a very steady average of 99.5 Fahrenheit all through Incubation, only fluctuating by about .2 degree above or below for brief periods. I went into lockdown last night and raised the...

    ISO wood incubator for boys’ 4H projects

    I’ve been combing the interweb for a working, or close to working, wood cabinet incubator. My boys, 14 & 11, want to do a joint project & exhibit they came up with for 4H! Older son is in wood science and younger son is my chicken raiser progeny, so big bro wants to restore/refinish an incubator...

    Would you try to add 1 week olds to a mama with 4 week olds?

    Help Sexing, think breeder gave me boys on purpose

    I’m a devastated new chicken mama! Less than 2 weeks ago, I paid $130 for 7 young chickens, with the assumption/understanding that the more grown out they were, the more likely you could tell they were pullets. The 1st & only flock I’ve ever cared for was an established group of laying hens that...

    Anyone know what might be wrong?

    Hi All, one of my boyfriend’s girls is in a bad way. She’s been losing feathers mostly on her wings for about a month & they haven’t grown back. She stopped laying and as of yesterday won’t come away from the corner of the coop when the others are turned out. Today her comb is dry and ashy on...
