I had a migraine for two days and didn't gather eggs. I have a couple of cochins who I can't seem to break of brooding so... I went out today to find them sitting on 45 eggs. Would you still eat them after 2 days of being under hot mamas?

I have two little bantam cochins sitting on about 10 eggs together. The nest and eggs got pretty wet in the rain last night. I got them all set up in a new dry bin and then hens seems happy enough after the traumatic experience. Will the eggs be ok to hatch still after getting completely soaked?

I have ducklings coming from a hatchery next week. I'm planning to put them with my geese to raise. Any suggestions for a low water source for the ducklings? My geese have a couple of kiddie pools but the ducklings won't be able to reach those. What do you use that you love?

Just heard chirping coming from my incubator room. Very confused as nothing is due to hatch for 4 more days. There's a brand new BCM trying to climb over other eggs in the turner. There's still 4 days left on the counter! I was SO not expecting that! Think I should take the turner out today in...

I got a handful of chicks at a local swap in the fall. They were supposed to be BCMs. These three were in with them. Any thoughts?

I inherited 7 lovely sebastopol geese when I bought my farm in October. The only thing the previous owners told me is they range in age from 1-5 yrs. I think only one bird is laying eggs (I only ever got one egg per day) and now she's sitting on a nest and there have been no new eggs. Think...

One of my chicks that hatched late yesterday has dried but not fluffed. It looks wet but it's not. It kinda feels crunchy. All the other chicks before and after this one fluffed up fine. Thoughts on why and how to fix it?

I have a tiny broody bantam sitting on eggs in a nest box that's about 4 ft off the floor. Is it safe for her to hatch the chicks there? Every time I have moved a broody, they have stopped sitting, so I am hesitant to do that. Thoughts or experience?

Does anyone have Silver Spangled Hamburg chicks or hatching eggs available to ship to SC?
