    Do I need a heat lamp?

    Is there a specific type of heating pad anyone prefers? (And considered warm enough?)Thank you all for your super fast responses, by the way! You're all really helpful (:

    Do I need a heat lamp?

    That's comforting to know! And what's the consensus about nighttime then?

    Do I need a heat lamp?

    OK, I figured they would need a bit more warmth at night (especially since they're still so little ). Overall they seem comfortable during the day. Do you think a wool hen will keep them from getting too chilly at night?

    Do I need a heat lamp?

    It's summertime and near 80 degrees indoors, where my ~2 day old chicks are currently staying. I was wondering if a heat lamp is even necessary? (I've offered warm, rice filled socks and haven't heard a peep being too cold since they've been out of the incubator (they were in there 24 hours))...

    Help! Injured hen - bleeding - broken foot??

    Perhaps she got bit by something? (Rat?) Or got scratched by an object or broken wire? You can treat with an antibiotic cream such as neosporin and/ or some hydrogen peroxide. (I'd recommend antibiotic cream though to promote healing and better disinfect ). If she's in pain, you can give her...

    Didn't notice the feathering in the leg the first time around. He's certainly a mix! :)

    Temp and Humidity Help!

    Thank you so much for your response! (: I was using my glass thermometer as my primary reading anyway, but the digital reading made me a bit worried. I do have still air (which says to have the temp at 99.5 and I have had multiple successful hatches without any issues at this temp, so I'm hoping...

    Temp and Humidity Help!

    I'm wondering if the digital thermometer/humidity reader is just registering low in both areas. Since the pans are filled, it's odd that the humidity is only 53%.

    Temp and Humidity Help!

    Hello all! So, I am currently on day 20 of incubation. On day 18, I candled to find there was movement and all seemed well before lock down. I figured I would check the humidity with a digital thermometer/humidity combo instrument since I thought it may be too humid (as I have had rather humid...

    Cockatoo Bite Advice?

    I can relate. I never keep him higher than me, nor do I ever keep him on my shoulder. It's unfortunate that these bites are mostly random and I'm wondering if it's dominance or territorial behavior and if there is a way to re-establish that. I'm also not sure if this was just a vice he has had...

    Cockatoo Bite Advice?

    I've had a U2 for about 6 years. He is a rescue and I am not his first owner. Overall, he's a good bird, but sometimes he will bite that (seems) so come out of nowhere. He is very playful and typically in very good spirits, but every 4-6 months, I'll get a very aggressive bite. I don't react...

    Self-plucking Green Cheek, Help!

    If the plucking behavior continues, try Pluck No More! I have personally had success with it and it's completely herbal.

    Awkward cross-breeds are the most exciting haha. It's nearly hatch day for you!

    It's Day 19!

    It's day 19/21 of incubation. I forget if you can begin to hear peeping on day 20 or not. Have you? What are you all hatching? And what day are you on? :D

    Incubator Question

    Great, thank you! It's far enough away from the unit itself, but I just wanted to be sure.
