Inside the coop with chickens inside killed and ate my silkie(the smallest. Saw orange hair around door to yard and I have seen a Ferrell orange cat hanging around. Poop at door to yard as well. What would go inside the yard to the coop go inside the small coop stay inside and kill and eat her...

I have never seen an owl....the wing span was so wide....I suppose it was an owl. I have since locked my chickens up....at night....Thanks for the reply. Shar

I hear a ruckus noise of one hen, went out to the pen where the hen and rooster was. Upon coming to the pen, a large bird flew out. It was 4:00 am so I couldn't see what kind of bird but it was , however, it was large and had a wide wing span. Two days earlier I found a chicken head in the...

Sorry, the previous information just came up when I submitted my thoughts. I still think I had the same thing...I'm sorry but i think you did a great job. I just can't do that.. Shar

Just wanted you to know that my Rhodebar had the same thing. Very swollen belly from breast bone back, emaciated from breast bone up...was waddling and I finally picked her up and noticed how swollen she was. Checked her as well, no blockage...She had been setting for about a month, eggs...

Wow this sounds like me writing this instead of you...first time for me too and :(. trying again...upped temp to 102 finally and I think they may be a day or two behind. Today is day 18...will wait until day 19. Last time I closed at day 18 with that lower temp and 7-8 died and were fully...

Amen to this....I am so disappointed in this LG 9300. TS doesn't even carry hydrometers nor thermometers for the bator. I requested that they do so since they carry the incubators and turners...why not a better variety? TS get with it and stop selling the cheap non working bator...

I need a fan...TS didn't have one when I looked. I did see the bator with the fan already installed and if I knew what I know now, I would never buy the still air. TS should not see them either. This time I kept the temp way up so that on the store bought temp registered at least 99-100. So...

I started with 30. 12 shipped via Ebay, 12 from a friend and the rest mine. Only one of mine hatched....?????? If one hatched what was wrong with my others and the local 12? One of the Ebay CLB's was almost hatched....

Yes, you are right. Little Giant 9300. Wished I knew prior. I have to set it up to 102-103 to get the other thermometers to register 99! I am so disappointed and wished I didn't get this one. And the humidity is not as bad but the digital temp on bator is not trustworthy. Im on day 14 and...

My first hatch did the same thing. Looked good until lockdown. Three thermometers and all read differently. Have TS still air bator with digital readings and that's a laugh. Needed a fan. This is my second try after only one chick hatched for my first incubation. So discouraging.

Thank you for helping with my question....:) Love this thread...the best and I believe you must be responsible for some of the goodness in it...Thanks for your contribution..I really enjoy reading and educating myself with your help.

What are BLR's? and the other as well? I too paid $35 for 12 eggs and $15 shipping to have none hatch. My fault, first hatch.

This is the "best" thread I've read so far. Easy questions, wonderful insight and answers...just a joy to read and learn...thank you so much...

I wish I knew what you know and more than I thought I knew when I bought my bator and what went wrong with my first hatch....

I'd like to know Amy mythology of incubating. I obviously did not get a good incubator for the first time, a still air, and it is hard to regulate the temperature and humidity. Again, first time in bator and I bought the expensive eggs from EBay. You learn the hard way. I do...the only one...

Sorry, this is in response to the lady who ordered the Marans and Cream Leg Bars....I paid for mine on Saturday and they were in my mailbox Monday...

They will arrive sooner than you think. I was told to have incubator ready and let eggs settle for at least 24 hours before placing in incubator. I have the Little Giant 9300 and the temps and humidity do not match with thermometer and hydrometer inside. Of 21 eggs in the incubator (12 were...

Hi, Wondering what happened to your hatch. Same here, all was well and at lockdown it seems they no longer are moving. I am at day 23 and only one silky is moving. Did you intervene and poke a hole in the air sack? Did it work? Can your experience help me? I'm just about to poke a hole in...

On day 23 and still only 1 hatch. Others seems to have died except one silkie. Should I intervene? Temp consistent most of the time during incubation, problem with humidity at the end for hatch, yet if one hatched and it was ok, why didn't the others make it when I knew they were alive at...
