just moved 30 healthy Buff chicks to the brooder. I looked at the posts for how to tell the sex of these little guys and the boys are now marked with a bit of blue food colouring on their heads. they are looking very punk right now! just taking them from the incubator home sweet home...

Hi NanaimoChick! we are raising chickens in Powell River, BC. just joined the forum too. Really supportive group of people here! cheers

Hi Kernel Cluck we are in Powell River, on the sunshine coast. Not much white around here except on the mountains. It's famous for the rainy winters, but like we say, "you don't have to shovel it" ... 1 acre farm, in a rural part of town. So life is good! You probably get more winter in...

well, this was a very good hatch experience... better than 25 chicks so far out of 41 eggs in the past 28 hours. I'll count them tomorrow morning when I move them to the brooder, but this is amazing. One happy chick here!

thanks Mr MKK Farms... lots of great information and support here! what a treat.

darn, that video player may not work for you.... this is the url:

oh! thank you! so, I do put the rest of the chicks into the brooder though? I can't imagine they will be happy in the incubator for longer than 24-48 hours from what I have read. here is the hatching of chick number 15! we have 17 chicks now

Hi there We live just 70 miles from there... but it takes 6 hours! We're in Powell River on the Sunshine Coast. how are you doing? in the city? or a more rural part of Surrey?

thanks :) we looked at a LOT of designs before we came up with this one. the entrance opens to a little storage area with access to the laying boxes and a wire mess full sized door to the coop. it faces the sun, but the overhang is far enough out to keep the summer sun out of the big south...

I have kept chickens on and off over the past 15 or so years. Lots of fun. I have been following your group for a while. There is always lots of great information and support! Just bought our first incubator and so far have two ducklings from the first 24 eggs, and my buff orpington chicks are...

Hi insiderart... sounds like good advice. my incubator is styro as well. I was just concerned because one of the shells has enveloped the "business" end of an egg that looks like it is trying to hatch! thanks for the advice about humidity. Hi 2txmedics... our buffs are hatching now too. just...
