    13th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

    Just make sure your towel leaves the vent hole open. Those chicks need lots of air during the hatch! Good luck!

    I’m checking egg colors for the hatch along. Gosh it’s hard to get true color pics of my blue eggs! (Same eggs in both pics, different light)

    Brinsea Ovation 56 EX

    Has anyone on this thread asked Brinsea for a refund within the 3 year warranty and get anywhere with that? I am not happy with the floor flooding. For the price it should work perfectly like my Octagon I have from them.

    Brinsea Ovation 56 EX

    Update on my Ovation 56 EX flooding the floor during lockdown. Brinsea replaces the whole top of this unit after my 1st hatch flooding the floor and not being able to get up past 60% for lockdown. They said they had never heard of this problem. Sent me the new top and it doesn’t vibrate like...

    I need rooster 101

    I kept 2 brothers and all was well, free ranging with 12 hens, then one day at age 8 months old they decided to fight to their death. Bloody combs, faces torn up and they just wouldn't quit. I rehomed the aggressor and immediately I had "calm" around the flock. Hens were no longer hiding in...

    Brinsea Ovation 56 EX

    My 2nd hatch is finished in the Brinsea Ovation 56EX. 100% hatch, 20 eggs, humidity was not able to reach 65% the whole lockdown until chicks started hatching then it stayed up above 65%. The floor was flooded on day 19 so I reduced the humidity setting so the pump would stop for a while then...

    Brinsea Ovation 56 EX

    I called Brinsea this morning after closing my vent all the way overnight. Humidity went up to 64% but flooded the floor from the pump trying to keep the humidity up. I am on day 19 of lockdown and they told me I needed to briefly open the lid and squeeze out the Brinsea sponge inside the...

    Brinsea Ovation 56 EX

    I'm having the same issue with my Brinsea Ovation 56. Live in Oregon. It works perfectly until lockdown when it won't increase humidity past 60%. The drip keeps running to try to go higher but just floods that side of the floor. I added a full reservoir on the other side with a Brinsea...

    I have a first time broody hen. She is Silver Laced Wyondotte and I gave her 10 eggs. Is that too many for her for her 1st time?

    Oregon

    I have personally bought chicks from Suzanne in Portland. I have 2 of her Mille Fleur Leghorns. They are hens now and lay a medium sized cream colored egg. Very pretty feather pattern. She is definitely legit and a good chicken lady to buy from. I buy my non GMO feed from her too. I also...

    Rooster Chat

    The fighting 2 were in a bachelor pad with 3 all the same age. I thank you for the idea to raise up a youngster for my 2nd rooster. I will try that.

    Rooster Chat

    I have 14 hens and wanted to have 2 roosters roaming free range with these girls. And the roosters were doing fine until 9 months old when an all out "to kill" fight broke out for 2 days between them. I had to separate them, bloody combs and faces on both. Now I am wondering if 1 rooster can...

    Hands on hatching and help

    Thanks to all who commented on my chick on its back after newly hatched. I did as suggested and quickly opened the incubator and righted him and sure enough spraddle legged. This is the first time I have had this happen, and this hatch has 20 healthy chicks so far so I doubt the spraddle was...

    Hands on hatching and help

    I would open it to quickly turn it over but I have 6 pipped ones waiting to hatch and don't want to risk shrink wrapping them.

    Hands on hatching and help

    I have a batch hatching right now and one chick is laying on its back. It struggles to get turned over. Has been this way for 12 hours now. I know I can't open the incubator to help. Has anyone had this happen before, and any good luck when they finally get turned over?
