Guys, the craziest thing just happened and I cannot for the life of me, figure it out. I heard the chickens making noise and went out to investigate. Opened the doors to henhouse and found a new baby chick lying there, not looking so good. He has a bit up blood on him and can't stand up. I have...

It's been raining here a lot lately...Having a hard time keeping my run dry. A friend suggested I get a few bales of wheat straw. What are thoughts on this? Anyone currently use wheat straw in their run? I did manage to find some locally, (will pick up on Saturday) but it wasn't easy...

I need reassurance please! I turned off my auto turner a few days ago, after noticing saddle shaping in several air sacs. I've been turning them myself. Today is day 15. I went to turn them this morning and noticed the humidity had dropped to 28% overnight. I then realized why. After...

Hey guys, I'm 12 days into my first incubating experience. Started with 13 eggs, (shipped) and now have 8 developing fine. I've been candling and am now seeing saddle shaped air sacs in 3 of my eggs. Please tell me what to do...I am using the Brinsea maxi II advance bator. Temp is 99.6, eggs...

Hi guys. I am new to chickens and very excited. Received 13 silkie hatching eggs today, and I have the Brinsea Maxi II Advance, warming up right now, while the eggs are resting at room temp. I will have many questions! I am currently trying to figure out how to accurately set the turning...
