We were shocked at how quickly they were dry and puffy outside with mom. We have hatched before in an incubator and they stand there all goofy looking for a day or two not even looking like they are going to live, or ours have anyway... But outside with her they are moving sooooo much better so...

Ok. All is well 30 minutes into the reunion. There is one more black hen I assume hidden under mom... I am going to try to get better pictures but she does not like the paparazzi around her and her babies and is proving a tough shot to get ha

That's good, thank you... Will update you here shortly

our first ever broody hen has successfully hatched 3 chicks, 2 yesterday and one today... My wife brought the 2 in yesterday out of fear they would not be able to get back in the milk crate with mom over night. I have moved everything now, and the chick today has access to mom, do you think...

Thank you, and yes to the rooster. Black marans rooster with Rhode Island Red hens. We have hatched with an incubator the last 2 summers, although last year we had much more success than we did this year. Not sure what made her become broody, but very excited about it! I had read somewhere...

I hate to literally count my chickens before that hatch, but this question will do just that... One of our 3 year old hens has gone broody (if that's a term) and this is new to us. Up to this point our hens have laid eggs in milk crates filled with pine straw and we gather them every day. She...

Love watching them free range, I find it therapeutic... Love the fresh eggs... I had no intentions of having a rooster or ever hatching but we were given a rooster so we have had 3 hatches now, that has been a pleasant surprise that we love doing... Just wish roosters didn't turn into such...

Thought I would post a pic of some of his offspring... I love the way the roosters are looking

Yes, that is almost a dead ringer for him, awesome... Thanks! We have, after 3 hatches, various ages of chicks from him and RIR... 4 black and 6 yellow...

Thanks so much everyone... Now it's time to see how my Marans/RIR chicks turn out...

Thank you, Marans was what I thought, but was a little unsure because of feathers going down his legs... I'm still a bit new to chickens and trying to learn as much as possible...

Hi, hoping for help identifying the breed of my rooster... We now have several of his hatchlings from Rhode Island Red hens and I am curious what he is... Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks...

Wife just sent me this picture of our first ever successful hatch, said 4 more eggs have a crack in them so hoping I can see one hatch after work

Thanks both of you, I have a thermometer a have kept it set right at 99.5 and it sometimes shows a little above... We are about to lay them on their side, add water and remove the turner... Hopefully we will have some good news here in the next few days!

Thanks for your info... I have a little giant incubator and also the egg turner that ones with it...

Hello from Coweta County, Georgia. I have been visiting this site for some time. Seems any chicken related question I would google search invariably led me here. Look forward to learning lots of new stuff from you all... I have 1 rooster whom I have been told is a barred rock? Not sure but he is...

New member here, I have referred to this site for many questions I have had for many months but finally created an account to ask a specific question: I am coming to the time in hatching to where I need to turn the egg turner off and let the eggs hopefully hatch. This is our second attempt at...
