    Hi, so one of my 6 girls blead out badly 2 days ago. Although it could be other things my guess is coccidiosis. I separated her and drenched her twice a day with corrid and the usual corid in her drinking water. Obviously I’m treating them all now in their drinking water. No other signs of blood...

    As we all know chicks probably waste almost half the feed you give to them. Does anyone have any no waste chick feeder ideas? So tired of throwing half my feed in the garbage. Thanks

    Has anyone bought any of the Janoel egg incubators off the Poultry Australia website???

    I have one that I used a couple of years ago. Was my first incubator. I since upgraded to Brinsea. It did the trick and its only 100$. You will have to play with the temperature control cause the display isnt correct. You'll just need a thermometer to colaberate. Im actually going to fire it up...

    Resting Shipped Eggs?

    Did a test myself a month or so ago. I had 8 shipped eggs with all detached air cells. I didn’t turn them for the first 3 days standing on end of course. Started turning near end of day 3. End of day 18 (lockdown) I stood them up in a cut down egg carton. Surprisingly 5 chicks hatched before the...

    Resting Shipped Eggs?

    If the air cells are still attached you can start turning immediately. The idea of not turning for 2 or 3 days is hopes in reattaching air cells.

    Aracauna Eggs with detached air cells

    So just an update about those eggs with detached air cells I didn’t turn for the first 3 days. Out of 8 eggs I hatched 6 healthy chicks. I did hatch them in a cut down egg carton standing on end with big end facing upwards. It was a much better hatch than I expected. Funny thing was it was my...

    Aracauna Eggs with detached air cells

    So I’m looking for some opinion and past experience with hatching detached air cells. I have 8 shipped Aracauna eggs with detached air cells. I have life in 8 eggs and into Day 13. My question is do I lock them down standing on end or do I lay them down as usual? What would be the best chance of...

    Calling Orpington owners.

    I’m 99% sure this is a boy but it’s the first time I’ve had Orpingtons. I’m wondering if there is the slightest chance I’m wrong. Eleven to twelve weeks old and no sign of a crow. Calling all Orpington lovers.

    Lockdown tomorrow 7/5/20! Using cartons~ need advice!

    I don’t think putting them in a carton is going to put them in a proper position to hatch. I think you would be better off to lay them on their side. The chicks should already be in their proper hatching position. Lay them with the largest part of the air sac facing up.

    Dumb little chick won't drink

    Keep showing it how to drink once in a while. It’s only been a day or so. I think this is perfectly normal.
