    Chickens hating water

    just let the hose run on the ground under a tree. very slowly so you dont waste too much water and so it doesn't get too deep. Most chickens will at least enjoy getting their feet wet and if it's not too deep they may even lay in it.

    Do chickens like water??

    I have these plastic trays. I think they are meat trays. They are only maybe 4cm deep but extremely wide. maybe 100cm x 60cm or something. Anyway, Chickens will love it if you get something like that. I put their drinking water in gigantic kitty litter trays and while I could easily fit 5 or 6...

    Best candler for maran eggs?

    Is it definitely OK to place a Day 18 Egg in water? My understanding is that water can get through the porous shell and potentially carry bacteria with it into the egg/ Also, does placing the egg in water add any water into the eggs contents the same way raising humidity might? What I really...

    New Borotto Real 24 incubator review

    Sorry about the late reply. I too own a Janoel 12 and had the same issue you did. However, I know why it overheats when ambient gets warm. It's because the electronics in the roof of the incubator can generate just enough heat on their own that if the ambient temperature gets above 32C then the...

    Chicken hatching on day 19 not 21

    when you start again, check the air cells every 5 days after the first 7. If air cells are growing too fast then you need higher humidity, if air cell growth is too slow then you need less, much less humidity. Low Humidity can cause shrink-wrapping and suffocation of the chicks if not outright...

    Hoping for a miracle

    We've got an External Pip! Top-side, fat-end. But only from one egg. the other two eggs were removed. One of the removed eggs barely got past the initial little red blob after 10 days. The other was older than the one that has pipped but had half of the development by the time I began lock down...

    Do the no-crow rooster collars actually work?

    I wonder if Foxes not only use their nose to Find Chickens/Roosters but also use their ears.
