    Magicfly Incubator trouble

    Well it is set to heat to 37.5 c but unless I insulate on the outside it will not get to maybe 32 c and then when insulated I can get it up to temp. The lights are not dimmed but I have to really mash on the buttons to get it to the manual adjustments.. at that point I can scroll through but...

    Help identifying Symptoms

    Well it seems I have confirmation, the white flecks on the comb is what I was concerned with .. had not seen it happen in my limited experience with chickens. I guess it's just because she's broody.

    Help identifying Symptoms

    I have heard that this may be just because she is broody but I am on who likes to have multiple opinion so take a look at this photo and tell me what you think. It appeared very quickly but does not appear to have any affect on her.

    American serama thread!

    It's been pretty wet and fairly cold for this region over the last week .. have had heat lamps going and the coop is vented and dry from what I can tell. My understanding is that Pox is usually more prone to chickens in damp environments but she has by sitting now for about a week and rarely...

    8 Reasons why trampoline pens don't work

    In my opinion the easiest and cheapest way to use this is to only use the trampoline pad for shade and find yourself a free or cheap playhouse and attach.. those playhouse's are easy to convert to a coop... plus they come with window shutters usually so it is kind a nice.. I see one like this...

    I just hatched 7 out of 7 on Halloween, live in South Texas and kept them at 45% + or = 3% until lockdown then kept them at about 65% + or = 5 %. First time incubating so maybe I got lucky lol. Auto turned, only had to assist one guy who zipped the wrong way.

    Well he is out, seems okay at the moment, very small bit of bleeding from his rectum when he initially got out but it stopped instantly and shows no traces of continuing. there were no remaining vessels and nothing alarming once the portion of the shell was removed other than he came out rear...
