    Hatched chicks and hatching eggs during lockdown

    This question has probably been posted before, but... During lockdown, when some of my chicklets have hatched, they kick around the not-yet-hatched eggs. I don't want to open the incubator, obviously, but won't it cause problems for the eggs to be rolled around while they are trying to hatch?

    Ideas for non-slip material for lockdown

    HELP! Could y'all give me ideas for a non slip material to put down before lockdown? I just realized i counted wrong, and need to start lockdown now. But... it's Christmas. Not much open tonight. Will a towel work? Will that mess up the humidity? Thoughts? Ideas? Thanks.

    Coop floor and rats

    I have 2 coops. I got some great ideas from BYC about things to consider and things to do beforehand. I dug down 6 inches and put down hardware cloth. Put dirt over it. Put up a chain link dog kennel. Covered it with chicken wire. Covered that with hardware cloth. Expensive, but I felt pretty...

    Humidity too high with new Binsea Ovation

    I just purchased a Brinsea Ovation 28. I set it up, using the default setting. On the digital displays. Temperature is fine, but humidity shows 75. They both say okay. But 75 is high, isn't it? I tried opening that thing up more, which is supposed to help, but it hasn't. And they are Ayami...

    I am hoping someone can help me figure out what the nature of the growth is on my rooster's comb. He is a 2 year old serama. About a month ago I noticed a single wart-like growth on his comb. It is raised and, well, wart-like. He seems to be in fine health. Bright eyes good appetite energetic...

    Ideas for a chicken feeder and/or waterer that you does not hang? I'm not very handy...

    I am trying to figure out a feeder and/or waterer idea for my chickens, to make or buy. I have a LOT of waste right now (the chickens scatter the feed, take out just what they really like, and leave the rest. Worse than that, I have a REALLY bad rat problem. I have taken the waste with a grain...

    My Frizzled Cochins... What color is this?

    I have 3 Cochins, about 3 1/2 months old. They were sold to me at 4 weeks; I was very surprised when 2 of them started "frizzling". (I am new to this breed, I didn't even know there was such a thing). They were solid black, then they began getting white on some of their feathers. Now some of...

    sex-link cochins?

    About a month ago I bought three 4-week-old Cochin chicks. It was at a chicken swap meet. The woman who sold them to me told me they were definitely sorry, all pullets. As I was not familiar with any breeds other than Seramas, I figured there is some easy way to know the sex of Cochins that...

    Hello, I am new here. You have heard the expression, "it cost me an arm and a leg"? Well...

    Hello. I have been hovering in the background, reading, enjoying, considering... Wanting to get my own "girls". Up until about 6 months ago, my husband has staunchly said "No" to the idea. His love is motorcycle riding and I spent the last few years trying to learn, so I could share his love...
