    Burnt heads & pecking??

    I have three polish bantams, they’ve all gotten a burn on their heads from the heat plate overnight despite it being raised according to their growth, I’ve put it up again since the burns showed up 3 days ago. I cleaned them daily with saline & I am spraying their heads with anti-peck spray...

    Are Polish bantams crazy or just mine?

    I have 3 white crested black polish bantams, two are frizzles, one is not. Anyway that’s not the point, they hatched 8 days ago and they have the craziest personalities. Every time I open the brooder they fly out to sit on my lap, they’re constantly jumping on and off the top of the brooder...

    Well…what is he/she?

    Hen or Roo? I feel like this is an obvious rooster but I’d like others opinions. It’s my silkie hens first and only surprise hatched baby, named Sola, meaning only in Latin! I can’t keep if it’s a roo, so hoping someone with better knowledge than me can tell me it’s a hen 😂

    HELP! lockdown humidity

    Is it safe to put a sponge in the incubator alongside the eggs or will chicks peck at it when hatched? I have 6 silkie eggs on lockdown since last night, I candled them before locking down and all are looking good to go, today is day 18, two eggs are wobbling a little bit since right before...

    Temperature drops

    I got a Brinsea Mini II Eco, set it up correctly etc., the problem I’m having is the temperature is dropping a LOT when I open up to turn my eggs and then taking a long time to get back up. Is this okay? How do I prevent it from dropping so much? It’s 37.7c usually, dropping to around 20c and...
