It is going good so far. 5 have hatched, with at least 6 more pipped. My humidity still reads 45%, but all the towels are wet and I have condensation on the lid, so I'm pretty sure my gauge is wrong.

Thanks for the reply! I did have a little sandwich box lid with water in it too. 2 chicks just hatched, so hopefully they will help the humidity rise. They are a day early...one has a little yolk not absorbed yet, hopefully it can as it dries and it will be OK. The other one is perfect.

This is my first time incubating. I'm using a Hova-Bator. I set 17 eggs, 1 ended up being not fertile...the other 16 had movement on lock down day (which was Monday). Started hearing little cheeps from inside the eggs last night. This morning half of them have a little hole pecked, still hearing...

OK thanks. I did save a copy of that air sack drawing so I can check it out. I appreciate all the help.

Perfect, I will sop up the water and run it for another day dry before adding eggs. So I'm looking for 30% humidity?

Thanks so much for the reply. How does one lower humidity? Try to get some water out? Get all the water out and just toss in a damp sponge instead of putting water in the tray?

Hi guys! I have been away from this board for a while, been mostly on the FB version. We started out with wanting 3 chickens a year ago. Since then our 3 grew in a big way, I now have about 20 chickens, a house on 10 acres and a horse, pigs, rabbits and goats. Chicken math worked hard and fast...

I'm sorry you lost your girl, she was very pretty. Thanks!

Thanks so much...your lesson in saddle feathers was perfect. Whew. I want a roo one day, but not now and I want a Salmon Faverolle roo not an EE LOL. Though if Belle had been a boy, he would have stayed :)

Excellent news! Thanks :)

Super, thanks!!

My Barnevelder is almost 11 weeks...she is just a hatchery Barnie, but can anyone tell me for sure female or male?

Can anyone tell me if I have a boy or girl?

This is Mulan, my feed store SLW, almost 11 weeks old. Can you tell me if she is a she or he?

OK back again with "Belle". I posted pics a while back and the thought was pullet...I am starting to have doubts again. These are my first ever chickens, so I don't really know what I am doing...but is "she" getting saddle feathers? That means boy right? Still no comb to speak of. What say ye...

We have 7 chicks that are now 7 and 8 weeks old...I am so ready to give them the boot outside LOL! We got their coop and run almost done, they will also be able to free range from time to time. The run is 5 1/2' X 14'...they seem to love the space when they are out in the day time.

Doing great. Wound all healed up and feathers are starting to sprout through on her neck. She is still wearing the band aids for now. Thanks for asking.

That is good to know, I will have to look into it...thanks! Right now we are in Washington County...but we are hoping to move this summer up to Washington and may be in Cowlitz county. Can you give me a general idea how 4-H works, costs, time? I do stay home with my kids, so time isn't that...

I really want to look into 4-H for my kids, but I don't think they are old enough quite yet...we have a 4 1/2 year old and three almost 7 year olds.
