We cooped our nearly month old pulleys a few days ago. Even tho there is plenty of cool water and shade they did pant and seem to over heat in the mid day heat. So I froze some plastic soda bottles filled with water and laid them in the coops run where it is shaded. It has definitely made a...
My oldest.chicks are only a month but they eat everything, lol leftovers fruits and veggies, finely chopped meats even tiny bits of cheese. I add chick grit and.feed to these, but for one night it shouldn't matter. You can put them out in the yard and let them scratch and eat all they want. At...
Apparently- they have got a fix for the production level, after just 3 days of incubation. Germany is rolling it out full force at the end of this year. Will change everything. http://m.thepoultrysite.com/news/34741

House full of boys. They went in the back room where my little incubator was on the bottom shelf and rough housing knocked bator and all seven eggs on to the tile floor. I tried to wax 3 but the others were crushed. That was a few hours ago. Now it's 2 am here and one of the chicks hatched 3...
Hi Caroline,
I have a used brinsea advance. It is similar to the mini only hold 7 eggs. I cleaned it with a cap full of dawn soap to one gallon of hot water, let air dry then thoroughly wiped down with clorox wet cloths.
