No, I did check their chests but didn’t notice anything at hatch

Hi have 16 barnevelder chicks which are nearly 3 weeks old. I notice some are very quick to feather , wing feathers nearly down to tail and tail feathers also. One of the lesser feathered ones is very friendly, always comes investigating when I enter the coop, I’m guessing he’s a rooster, but...

I have an rcom king suro , and am half way through a hatch. At the start I had a hard time trying to calibrate the inci to the temp of an independent temp/ hygrometer I have inside . Once I did it held the temp perfectly. Last night I candled and everything going good, had two empty eggs but...

I’m in the process of calibrating my rcom king suro incubator. I have a separate temp and hygrometer unit inside the incubator which I know is accurate. I have the temp sorted but the hygrometer is reading 24% but the incubator display is showing 18 %. How do I change the incubator display to...

I use wood shavings in my nest boxes which are cat litter boxes, chickens can’t kick them out, and they only need replacing every 6 weeks unless weather gets very wet

I would think you should wait a week for fertilized eggs after rooster goes in

How long is the rooster in with the hens

Just thought I’d share my hatching success with you. I purchased 24 black copper maran fertile eggs from a neighbor. I washed them in warm water , nothing added, left them to dry sitting large end up in egg cartons, put them in my brinsea octagon fully automatic incubator and ran a dry hatch (...

My wellsummer pulleys which were hatched may 2017 started molting in June this year. We had a very hot summer this year ( yes it actually stopped raining and we had a summer in Ireland! ) and a lot of people reported the same thing. They’re getting nice red combs again so hopefully will resume...

Welcome to fellow Country person , from west cork
