    So discouraged about incubating :(

    I have had a couple times that I have found the temperature too high. But it hasn't happened for long periods. I might keep it at 99-100 this time and not 101?

    So discouraged about incubating :(

    I have incubated three batches of eggs. I have read up on temps, humidity and everything! Everytime I do my lockdown on day 18, I get one or two hatched on day 19, maybe another on day 20. Then NOTHING. I have cracked the eggs after day 25 passes and almost every egg has a fully developed...

    They really are growing fast. We have three already with prominent tail feathers. From what I have read that means they are hens!

    Venting I guess...

    Okay.. so I worked with my dogs and for more than a month now I could let the chickens out and not worry about the dogs. They would just walk around with the chickens like they are friends. Well today I found one injured and one dead. Not even small ones!! I was just sick and depressed about...

    Do chickens HAVE to roost for health reasons? Mine are pile sleepers!

    hope this isn't rude.. but it is a roosting question.. we have a roost we built and it is in the outside coop.. but the "bedroom" does not have a roost.. of course there are wooden rails and the free range rooster roosts there.. but the hens do not. should we build a roost for the "bedroom"...

    Mystery?

    About 1.5 months. Buff orpingtons and 2 month old bantam buff Cochins. No symptoms. That's why it's so weird. All my wyandottes, other color Cochins are just fine. Haven't lost a one.

    Mystery?

    Okay. This is so weird. All I have lost since it started getting cool is buffs. All 5 of my buff Cochins and about 10 young buff orpingtons. I have quite a few other colors and breeds of different colors. Any thoughts?
