I have a question. Sorry if this has been asked already. There are so many pages of posts for this Easter hatch along, I would be here all day searching! Why is the set date for chicken eggs the 29th? 21 days from that (hatching day) would be April 18th, not the day before Easter. What am I missing?

Don't use a heat lamp ever again!! I had the same thing happen- I was not home. Lost ALL birds, and if it wasn't for the snow on the ground I would have burnt down the woods and house! Your birds will be fine I'm sure, just recovering.
Ewww, I am lucky it did not harm the chickens then. I thought they just ate eggs and feed? Guess I was wrong.
I am certain it got in because I leave the door open during the day when they range. I am at home all day so they range all day. It had to get in then or at dusk before I got down to...
I have your solution! Pure Citrus air freshener, orange scent one. Find it in the air freshener section at most stores. It cost a bit more than the other air fresheners, but it is all natural orange oil. Cats hate orange oil smell. We spray this on whatever we want them to stay off of. Currently...
