He was in pretty rough shape when I got him. His tail looks battered

I adopted this rooster he is 1.5 years old..I was told he is a leghorn but everything I've read is that leghorns are not real big...this guy is huge! He was in a extra large dog crate when I took this picture...

I adopted a 1.5 year old leghorn rooster. It's been many years since I have been around chickens. I do not eat chicken or eggs. I'm thinking about adopting some non laying hens( hopefully just 2) I feel he would be happier. I do cook with eggs so if I absolutely had to adopt younger hens I will...

Well I only got a 50% hatch but I learned so much love my little peepers

2 babies one minutes away Omg so excited

Very excited 3 have pipped that took forever just to get from a crack to a tiny hole...they are resting right now not bad first hatch ever and so far 50%:P

Well I am totally bummed. I misunderstood how to turn the eggs and instead of flipping end to end I turned side to side. Should I give up on these or give them more time. I have read coturnix are so easy to hatch "you can hatch them under a bowl on your back porch" :(

Day 18 I keep thinking I see movement in one egg my husband said I'm just starring too long and am imagining. This is really hard I wish one would just pip so I know I'm not starring at a bunch of dead eggs.

Alright its the beginning of day 16. My nose has been stuck in the window of the incubator every time the lights turn on hoping to see movement. Nothing yet. Hope to see something anything when I get off work this afternoon.:P

Thanks... got the temp sitting at 99 I figured out that it was the higher humidity and the fan evaporating thus cooler temp... so small turn on the thermostat and bam now keeping the humidity up..can't wait for this to be over...so much to be changed next time. I will keep all updated

I am so mad at myself. I wanted to candle my eggs one day before lockdown and yes bam stupid me dropped one. Really how stupid can I be. I swear I saw cracks in the egg but then looking one more time I didn't see any maybe I'm crazy don't know. So I put them in lockdown one day early just in...

Lockdown is tomorrow I am nervous but I guess that's typical. My problem is everything has gone perfect too perfect Haha.

OK so I am very confused I set my eggs on march 3rd at 5 pm so from what I understandday one would be march 4th at 5 pm. That would make today march 14th at 5pm be the 11th day is that correct? Also is lockdown day 13 or 14 for coturnix jumbo browns? Please help it is very soon

OK quick question. I have read it is possible to cause chicks to shrink wrap when using a forced air incubator. So far all 6 eggs are doing great candled and all are viable. Should I turn my fan off at lockdown ( this coming Monday) or will that mess up the whole hatch. Temps and humidity has...

Well on day 3 of incubation. Temps staying at 99-100 humidity between 42-52 I think all is going well I do believe this is going to be the longest 17 days of my life..

Well finally got eggs and set them last night....I'm so very excited. It will be nice to have this first time over and see what I learn!

I don't know many people in the valley but will try to help you find some...I just put coturnix in my bator last night I'm totally excited!

Thank you so much my goal is 100% hatch rate although probably unrealistic I want to do everything I can to try to get it;)

Ya thats what I figured... thanks :-)
