Ok I need advice. I moved my OEGB pair to their new coop this afternoon. They had been staying in the barn up until this point. They were FINE when I left at 4:30. Now, I get home and go check on them...the roo is fine but Dasiy my pullet can't walk. She just kicks her legs back. I brought her...

I have a Dominique hen that has been broody for approx. 2 weeks..I don't have a rooster in the pen with her & have been collecting any eggs that get layed from under her. I know you can separate them and try to break them from being broody, but I was wondering how long will she last if I don't...

Pullet or cockeral?? about 13 wks old...any opinions?

Any opinions on whether my splash is a pullet or roo? He/She is almost 6 wks old. This was my lone chick that hatched from my first attempt at incubating. I've now got 18 chicks total of diff ages but this little one is definately my favorite since it was my first.

I candled all my eggs yesterday (day 9). I have 31 eggs from 2 diff breeders and out of the 31, 14 were clear showing no signs of development. Is this typical? I was just wondering (These are not shipped eggs btw)

I tried my hand at incubating eggs for the first time a couple weeks ago. I only got one BLRW chick out of it. So..of course I had to get a couple friends for my lone chick. I got 2 Black Austrlorps that are supposed to be pullets. I'm not so sure! One grew wing and tail feathers very quickly...

I keep seeing something about a water wiggle? What exactly is this? I know its somsething to do with a thermometer. I was just curious because I'm about to make a 2nd (and hopefully more successful) attempt at incubating and want to do anything that can improve my hatch rate.

Well...my first hatch kinda sucked! Only 1 chick hatched out of 7. But it sure is an adorable little chick, so it can't be considered a complete failure! I'm pretty sure my digital thermometer isn't right on. When I put it next to my thermastat in the house, the thermastat said 69 and the...

I have an older model LG still air incubator w/ turner. It was an incubator my husband's Papa bought at the flea market. I've seen stuff on here about adding a PC fan to them. Does this improve hatches and how exactly do you add it? I'm by no means good with wiring, etc. Is it easy to do? Thanks...

I had 2 chicks pip on day 19 (yesterday). The first one hatched early this morning and is doing fine. The 2nd pipped the hole bigger than it had been but died before it got out. My humidity was at 60% and the temp was around 101 all day. This is my first hatch and it breaks my heart to see one...

Ok..so this is my first hatch and I'm getting a little over-excited! I just candled and finally threw out 3 that definately weren't developed at all. BUT I did see the other MOVING!! I'm soooo excited! They are due to hatch a week from tomorrow can't wait to see their little fuzzy butts!

what day would I go into lockdown? I put them in the incubator about 6 am on feb 25th. Monday the 14th or Tuesday the 15th?? I just wasn't sure which day to consider day 1. Thanks in advance!

so, I know you don't have to turn the eggs the last 3 days and increase humidity. I was worried about the chicks having room in there once they hatch. So I was wondering..when I get to lockdown and have to increase humidity, should I just take the automatic turner out and let the eggs just lay...

So, I just put my 11 eggs in the incubator after they rested 12 hrs. I am SO nervous! This is my first hatch. I have had the incubator (still air LG) set at around 101.3-101.7 steadily for about 2 days and it's been around 35% humidity. I'm assuming it takes a little while for the temp to come...

This may be a dumb question...but which direction do I need to place my eggs in the automatic egg turner? I have an LG turner. Thanks!

I've been a member of BYC since last year, but haven't posted much. Got my first 5 hens last spring and my sweet hubby built me a coop. Now I'm addicted! Hubby didn't know what he was getting himself into! haha..now I'm having him build me another coop with a run connecting the 2 coops. I have 2...
