    I am in trouble!

    That is a very good idea. Never thought of that. Thank you. I'm going to have to look into scavenged green house materials

    I am in trouble!

    Yes, I have been thinking about that as well. I think I somehow have to do both. With the cold windy winters here, the chickens seem to spend most of their time indoors during this time. Spring, summer and fall tho your right. Outside from sun up to sun down.

    I am in trouble!

    Both, we do sell eggs but every chicken seems to be a pet with its own personality. That makes culling very difficult. We even have customers/ friends that request chicks from time to time. All this while living in town. This backyard chicken hobby got out of hand quickly, lol

    I am in trouble!

    The main coop will be divided into 2 rooms. I do have 2 4ft by 6ft mini coops. They were supposed to be tractors, but of course I built them to heavy to move.

    I am in trouble!

    My chicken addiction has finally gone too far. I now have 68 chickens and not enough coop space. My coop is expanding to 19ft by 9ft. Big as it can possibly get. 9 of my chickens are bantams, but still not big enough. My run is massive, 200sq. Ft fully enclosed and approximately 7200 open air...

    spaced hatch questions?

    I moved chick starter and water closE enough to her nest that she could reach it, installed a heat lamp but otherwise let nature do its thing. She showed them food and water while setting. That was pretty cool to see

    spaced hatch questions?

    I am too. Most all of my information comes from this site, so I kindof know what to expect. We gave the broody hen the eggs to sit on after we knew good and we'll she meant business. She was isolated and egg count always remained the same. The only thing I could think of is she seemed to abandon...

    spaced hatch questions?

    The hen story is for comparison. They were not all her eggs. I found it odd the last one hatched on day 28 is all. Now I am seeing the same thing in the bator. Temp is at 99.6, humidity is at 45. Have seen really no variation. I have no way of checking acuracy. I have ruled out Andalusian eggs...

    spaced hatch questions?

    Yes, 2 different settings. Broody hen hatched 4 out of 10. First hatch to last was 7 days. We bought an incubator to try and hatch our own. Placed 18 eggs in it. It's a brinsea octogon 20 ex advance. Day 8 we candled. 2 blood rings and one dud were removed. 15 remaining eggs looked good. All...

    spaced hatch questions?

    Need some advice/expertise. I had a broody recently hatch some eggs, 4 out of 10. It took a full 7 days for her to hatch out the 4th after the 1st hatched. I have 15 out of 18 still in the incubator. (First time hatcher by the way) Yesterday was day 14 and we decided to candle again. I noticed...

    how long do I let her sit?

    So I checked the broody this morning. Eggs were moved, she is up and scratching. Thought she moved the nest but watched her scratch them around without care. Removed eggs but one had pipped!I can hear it! Made room in the incubator. Should I give it time or assistance in hatching?

    Hello all!

    He is an EE. She hatched her first chick 5 days ago. 3rd today. Kinda stressful. Bator is full so I hope she continues to set. Candle her eggs last night. All alive so far. Even with her leaving the nest for a whole day when it was only 37 degrees!

    how long do I let her sit?

    momma and her 2 trouble makers. The latest one is still drying under her

    how long do I let her sit?

    They are up, eating and running around her. I put a heat lamp in the broody house for extra heat for the lil peepers. I had to help this last one hatch, it was cacooned in the inner lining. Like not enough humidity. Strange since it has rained her for 2 weeks.
