    Ordered a rare breed assortment of pullets at beginning of summer. All are great and have lost only a couple. And since I live in Texas about 6 hours away it was free shipping. Will order again. Ordered 30 and got 32 with no DOAs

    Weslaco, Texas- wondering what steps I can take

    True story. My sister does the zoning and code enforcing for Weslaco. She is working on getting the law changed on it. Esp since while chickens are not allowed, your neighbor could have a pig farm. I encourage those interested to call the city and find out what needs to be done. Also those that...

    I am surprised they didnt tell you what they included in the assortment. I know they say they keep no record of that but when I got my rare breed, the person that packed them included a list of what I got written in pencil on the invoice. You should post pics so people can help identify

    Yes I ordered 30 and received 32 assorted rare breed pullets. Got buff roc, partridge rock, welsimmer, dominique and black langshans. I had one die after about week but the others are doing great and about 3 or 4 weeks old now. I am thinking of making another order in the next month or so. Esp...

    I am very happy. They hatched yesterday and were here by 8am. I was already on way to my orthodontist appt so my dad went and picked them up. He dipped their beaks and right away they were drinking and started scratching. They are eating well and even though we put a couple of inches of bedding...

    How is Chase Hatchery?

    I just wanted to say that accusing the hatchery of creating a fake account and giving positive feedback is a pretty serious accusation. Now as to whether that is the case of not I cannot say. However I can say that it is highly likely that there are several pleased customers that will leave...

    Farm Innovators Digital Circulated Air Incubator 4250

    I have a tip with the temp and humidity probes. They are just long enough to get caught in egg turner and get pulled out. When this happens to temp probe it causes the heating unit to keep raising in temp. It took my incubator up to about 115. Of course lost about 30 eggs that were into their...

    Gro-gel question

    Hi all. I just ordered a couple of packs of Gro-gel for new hatchlings. I got the 7 gram pouches which are said to be good for 100 chicks. Well I only have ever hatched under a dozen eggs at a time. So if each gram is good for about 14 chicks, what do i do if I hatch only a couple? Do I start...

    Thank you all. So far we are at 10 chicks. I will work on dropping the temp. I need to see how to do that since the farm innovator and little giant come pre set. I have been running a seperate thermometer and it shows the same temp as incubator, between 99.5 and 100.5.

    Woke up in the middle of the night to 4 more early hatchers. That is six babies for on day 19. All seem to be well. I dip their beaks every so often till they get the hang of it. I just put the food in there and they started pecking at it.
