the first time it happened they were fine. the second time I checked after a while and I saw no signs of life in any eggs

I have a new incubator and after a couple of days the turner got jammed. I fixed it after a day and a half. If the eggs were only there for a 2 days does anyone know if I should expect a problem with them hatching?

I came home and checked the incubator and it seems the cats pulled the plug on my incubator. The temp was in the seventies the eggs had been in there for about a week. Will they still hatch or or it a lost cause?

The reply from Sumi saying to put 4 or 5 nesting boxes for 14 hens seems to make sense and explains why I have 32 boxes for about 40 hens and they all like to lay their eggs in about 4 of them.

I bought an automatic watering bowl at Tractor Supply. It cost around $25. They have one for $10 more that has a drain in it which I wish I bought instead because you can unscrew the drain and it cleans itself out. Chickens will fill it with a lot of "DIRT". It mounts to a wall or a post in the...
