    Got 'em! 150 Colored Range Broilers (aka Freedom Rangers)

    HA, I tried the hose sprinkler last nite-but at 4AM this morning, they were back in the SE corner of their fence. I am going to put extra fencing in that corner to ease my mind today. I also put screening under them to allow easy removal of the night time poop pile. I am thinking they are...

    Anyone Due to Hatch on the 15th of July?pics GC's

    now 8! The one I helped, and I mean I almost did it all, including breaking the outer membrane and dumping him out of the shell, is doing great. Well, so far. So now I am at 50% hatch. My first hatched, who is a Maran looks like a frizzle???? No fur, and he is very rough and bumpy to the touch...

    Anyone Due to Hatch on the 15th of July?pics GC's

    have 4,3 Welsummer and 1 Copper Maran. One that has been trying to pip for over 12 hours isnt looking good. I tried to help, and shouldnt have. A Copper Maran, and another Copper Maran cant seem to get through the membrane. I wonder if this is because I kept these eggs for 10 days to hatch with...

    Woo-Hoo-today is day 21-nothing up to this morning. When I got home from work at 4:30 3 eggs had pipped. By the time I fed my other little chicks, one was chirping and running around and 3 more had pipped. Funny thing is, the chick that hatched is the egg I had a big ? mark. Welsummer. I only...

    what is a good fairly in-expensive incubator?

    I have the ECO Brinsea and though this is my first hatch am very satisfied. It was $149 straight from Brinsea, with the egg turner. Temperature was right on from day one. I bought a Hovabator online, a cheapie with a fan, and it was not as easy. I used this for the last 3 days of hatching. Fan...

    Talk about coincidence. Last nite as I was placing the eggs from one incubator to the "lock down" incubator one of my dogs was sniffing around one of the eggs. Yup, sure enough, it had gone bad.

    First time incubator. I am hatching (day 21) on July 16th. Out of 24, have 15. As I candled them, I put an "F" in pencil on the eggs I saw veins/wiggles. However at Saturday's candling, I saw nothing, but the air bubble and darkness in 2/3 of egg. I hope that's good????!!!! Started with 12...
