something I have found to be very troubling with these chickens is 1) They are unable to stop eating and you can only feed them once (maybe twice) a day otherwise they will eat until they die. 2) if you get chicks from the large factories, they are now getting vaccinated before being sent out to...

I have read and heard reports of this issue as well on many platforms. Does anyone have a solution as to what to now feed them? Incredibly troubling.

Wonderful advice! I will do exactly that. Thank you. 😊

Would never toss them in. We have a second small coop for the younger ones and they have a couple of months of being next to the older chickens before we combine them.

So maybe I could take them and she wouldn’t be too upset. That’s my fear... she is a “rescue” hen and doesn’t even lay eggs. I just saw how bad she wanted to be a mom.

It’s not that I necessarily want all of the chicks together, I’m apprehensive to allow the baby chicks in with the older hens and rooster. How long will the mother hen actually protect them? I have seen my older chickens become very nasty to any 4 month old pullets we add... and I don’t want my...

I had a broody hen and allowed her to sit on 8 eggs. Only two hatched and right now they are just over two weeks old. At the same time, I hatched 7 eggs in the incubator so these chicks are all the same age. Right now, I have 7 chicks in our brooder in the home and the two with mom hen are in...

Hello friends, I have a hen sitting on 8 eggs. We tried to break her of being broody but she really wanted to be a mom so we decided to go with it - have her set up in her own space, etc. She is one of our older girls and when we found her sitting on eggs, there were 16 of them! So we took 8...

Only seeing this now... we had a successful hatch and all chicks were out and moving about on day 21. Simply an amazing experience!

So good to know, thank you. I have two that have pipped. Not sure how to pull away and do anything but watch this! LOL

Okay! thank you. So excited to see if we can make this miracle real! :)

Okay, that makes me feel better. I have just read so many stories where there wasn't enough H. and people have said going forward they will aim for that 70%. :) Yes, we candled throughout and all did well. Just hoping that after coming this far, they have everything they need to get here.

First hatch, using a Kindsuro Max 20. We are on day 20 here and we can't get the humidity to go higher than 65%. After all of the reading on this site and other places, we were really aiming for 70. Will the 65% be enough for them? I realize that if we have success with just one chick, it will...

Great, thank you.

Okay, phew! Thank you so much. Because you have one using the similar motion, do you remove the dividers on day 18 so they can lay flat at that point?

Okay, thank you.

Yes, all 14 are doing well and I even saw movement yesterday (day 7). Do you know what I would look for to see if any are "stuck" in the wrong position?

It's a Kingsuro Max20

I've read through many threads here and read multiple articles elsewhere and even tried youtube, and can't find the answer so I must reach out in hopes of some guidance. I am incubating 14 eggs and using one that automatically turns the eggs. Prior to putting them in, I read the directions and...

Love that GIF. I had thought I waved back... sometimes my replies aren't landing back. :frow
