    3 Week old Silkie with Food/shavings stuck in Crop with Twisted neck

    I think she has/had food stuck in her crop as I felt a hard, gritty, crumble-like mass in her neck and her neck is completely twisted. I massaged the food down so that I can't feel it any longer but her neck is still twisted. I have given her codliver oil and water as I found suggested, added...

    Candled Egg Day 23 Question - Lots of Labored Movement or Normal Internal Pipping Movement?

    We had 3 eggs left from our hatch and I candled them to see if we should continue on. Don't fret, I steamed up the bathroom, the humidity never got below 70 and its 65% in the bator. Two look like lost causes, but we'll give them a few more days to make sure. One has a rhythmic movement, like...

    Does "Periodic Cooling" cause a later hatch? Anyone with experience?

    I used the cooling option on my Brinsea Octogon Advance for 2 hours a day and am wondering if that usually results in a later hatch? I'm surprised I haven't been able to find many threads about periodic cooling, I just followed the instruction in my booklet that suggested it. It must be a new...

    How do I use felt in the bottom of my Brinsea Octogon? Locking down tomorrow!

    I bought felt and shelf liner with the holes in it as I've seen suggested. Now how do I position the felt in the water channels to ensure a good humidity? I'm thinking I cut it into strips that go out of the channel and under the egg basket? Does the shelf line go under the eggs? Thanks...

    Do I put the eggs in after the bator is heated or before so they can heat slowly? Conflicting instr

    My new Brinsea Ocatagon 20 Advance says to heat the incubator up before inserting the eggs, but everywhere else the manuals and information I see says that they should heat slowly. So I'm thinking I want to put them in and then turn it on so that they gradually heat up. Any input/advise? The...

    Anyone know when Brinsea will offer 10% off coupon again?

    I just missed the "SPRING" coupon, already expired. I'm trying to decide if I should wait for another 10% off code and take the chance that the sale price goes away or just go ahead and order my incubator? Someone said they offer one each month, hopefully they will again in April!

    Bloody poo... planted seeds toxic? - Poppies, Purp. Coneflower

    Yesterday I noticed very runny tar-like poos from some of our 9 week old chicks. I had planted some seeds, poppies, purple coneflower, and another that I can't remember along with several planted flowers in the chickens favorite browsing spot the day before. I had put cypress mulch there over...

    What Electric Fence to get for Chicken Tractor (Movable Coop)?

    I tried searching the posts and couldn't find a direct enough answer. I looked at electric fence controllers at the tractor store, the smallest had a range up to 2 miles and was solar powered. I want a solar powered since it will be moved often, but will one with that range be too much for a...
