We normally don't use incubators, just the chickens. I don't help chicks unless they really can't get out. When they are like that, just gently pull apart the shell until they can get out themselves.
It is super hot today, 103 right now. We have five chickens, and two were raised by our broody hen. They won't let us touch them. It is their first summer hot enough to give our animals ice water, but they won't touch it. How do I get them to drink? Too hot to wait!
Hey guys! Just joined, but I have a question. My Americana (Duchess) normally lays light blue eggs, but today I found one that I assume is hers, same shape as the others, same size, but it was a whitish-cream colored egg. Is this some kind of problem in pigmentation? Thanks!
