On a happy note, A few of my buff orpington x RIR chicks are hatching today

Will do! Theyre doing great... The only thing I had been concerned about was really watery poo from most of them & after I switched bulbs it's all looking quite normal I feel so horrible that he probably died because of my mistake, but I won't be doing it twice! The outside temps are fluctuating...

Thank you I switched the bulbs to a regular 40 watt & The rest seem to be doing great. I feel horrible that that could be why but I'm thankful we caught it before the rest had the same problem

They seem to be so far!! He was on his back under the heat lamp so I'm wondering if maybe he go stuck on his back . I switched out the red light for a regular light bulb & threw some acv in their water in case of cocci....

We just lost one of the new ones for no apparent reason I hadn't check on them in a few hours and when I went back in they were on their back & gone everyone seems perfectly fine & healthy.... No pasty butt, eating & drinking. Praying the rest make it to morning!

I just had my best hatch so far... All of them being shipped eggs & so far we are at 75% hatch. This time I made sure my thermometer & hygrometer were calibrated. I do use a still air incubator, but each time I roll the eggs I rotate them, keeping them away from where the heater is, as that...

Sitting at 75% hatch!! The last two might be quitters, gonna give them a couple days, I had a straggler with my Lavendar Ameraucanas so maybe these will be too. But 75% is the best I've had so far all from shipped eggs . After I hatch a few from my hens I may be done unless I can sell a few then...

Sorry for the horrible lighting! I'll get better pics in the morning. They are seriously adorable. I can't deal with their fluffiness

7 out of 11 have hatched!!! & 2 more are pipped will post pictures soon! I think Barnevelders may be my favorite so far!

Umm yes!!! Almost clicked that button again tonight myself.... But I need to sell some babies first

On another note, 11 if my 12 barnevelder eggs are on day 19 & looking amazing when I candled last night! Lord willing, new babies soon!!!

Haha I have one of those too! I call her my "pretend mama". She did it twice & the second time seemed very serious about it but was off the nest within a couple hours

I will keep you updated!!! I also have some eggs from my hens in there too with them (buff orpingtonxRIR)

I have hatched all shipped eggs so far this year, AND it's my first times ever incubating! The first batch 4 hatched out if 12, the second batch 7 hatched out of 17 (I had a second set in with these, I'll let you know about those in a minute). This is my third batch, so far, 10 out of 12 are...

My best guess is a hen... That comb is really small to be a roo but I definitely don't claim to be a pro

Sold our 4 bantam babies today... Have 10 lavender Ameracaunas in the Bator going strong!! All of the Dorking eggs are duds... But the seller was very kind and is replacing due to their all being extremely porous. Looking to get some standard Barnevelder eggs to hatch & *maybe* a couple turkeys...

Welcome!! I was a fellow lurker too and just recently joined as well

Will be praying!! I've got tomatoes, peppers, and some herbs started indoors... Hubby's pap is tilling the garden again and then it'll be planting time Lavender Ameracaunas and Silver Dorkings 7 days into incubation, Ameracaunas are looking GOOD... Dorkings not so much, but for shipped eggs, I...

Following along!! We are currently renting so just doing the traditional "till the garden" approach this year, but when we find something that's officially ours, I have had my eye on "deep mulch"/hugelkulture but I like to see people that it works for first hand rather than just a blogger...

Congratulations! They are so much fun... We are going into our second year of chickens & growing our flock substantially this year... Once you start it's hard to stop!! Lol
