Thanks for the input!

I have a quick question about candling. I have not hatched more than a dozen eggs at a time and did not have a problem candling them quickly. I am getting ready to put 48 eggs in the incubator. It will take me a while to candle each one of them. How long can I leave the top off the incubator...

Quote: So when someone brings him three dozen bad eggs and none of them hatch, he is supposed to just lose out and not get anything?

Quote: They are already plugged...... the intstructions said to remove one of them at day 18 to increase circulation. That is another reason I was concerned. I figured it would lower it when I remove that plug. Looks like a sponge or paper towel with take care of the problem. Thanks guys.

OK, thanks for the info!!

Yes, all of the built in trays are full. So I don't need to go to 80%?

I am in the middle of hatching my first batch of eggs. I have a Little Giant with the fan and auto turner. The instructions said to raise the humidity to 80% at day 18 when the turner is removed. How do I get it that high? Right now I have water in all of the water passages and the humidity is...

She still has not replied to me so I am guessing she has already sold it or she does not want to sell it.

Did you sell this?

I am interested. Could you email me a couple pictures to [email protected] ?

Quote: I just happen to have some of that wire laying around. I will have to do that. Thanks for the idea.

Quote: That's the result of my wife dropping our brand new digital camera lens first onto a pile of rocks. Now all of our pictures have "spirits".

Quote: I don't know the difference between the two, but it does not look very thick. I do have a 150 lb St Bernard though.... he does a pretty good job keeping the critters away. Thanks for all the compliments. I just went out to check on the birds and they are already lined up on the...

Quote: I have not got that far yet.... I am planning on staking down some heavy landscaping timbers around the border. As it is now, they would have to dig fairly deep, as there is a 2x4 frame all the way around it. They would have to dig out enough to get under that.

I just finished my coop/run. I am new to chickens so I would like some input. It is 4x8, not counting the enclosed area, which is 2x4. The north and west walls are solid, as that is where the cold wind usually blows from here, the south and east are chicken wire to allow sun and...

WOW, the difference between three and four weeks is amazing. I am guessing mine are about three weeks old, when comparing them to yours. Thanks for the pics!

Thanks for all the replys. I will probably keep them inside overnight another couple weeks, but may start putting them outside before I go to work starting on Monday. I hadn't done that yet because I leave at 6am, and it hasn't warmed up any yet. Do you all think that sounds OK? I am really in...

anyone?

Thanks for the quick responses. To answer the questions.... no, I don' t have any other chickens, I am new to all this. There are five of them. Right now I have them in a cardboard box with a 60 watt bulb. I have been taking them out to the pen when I get home from work and bringing them...

I searched and found some answers, but the problem is I am not sure how old my chickens are. I bought them from a farm supply store and the clerk did not know how old they were. So, I need some help. They are Barred Rocks, and they currently have feathered wings, and the tail feathers are a...
