I am beginning to question my rooster's sexual orientation. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but I've never really known a rooster to perch himself on a nest. Is this common? I really haven't seen him do "his business" if you know what I mean. Here's a photo of Biff squatting on an...

Just a suggestion, but I think it would be great if there was a category for people to post links to their live web streaming of current hatches. There's a small window of opportunity to actually catch this happening and if people can navigate to a common place on the forums that lists...

I'm in a bit of a situation that I really was hoping to avoid. I tried to get my 2 sets of shipped eggs delivered at the same time, but unfortunately it didn't happen. So, here I am sitting on day 18 with one set of eggs near lockdown and the other a day behind on day 17. Both sets are...

This is awful. I'm in day 3 of my first ever lockdown and want to save it, but I jeopardize the unhatched eggs. What do I do? Suggestions? I think it's a goner if I they keep pecking.

It's getting close to lockdown for me and I was wondering if anyone has an opinion on what containers they use, if any, to put your eggs in during lockdown to hatch in. My DW thinks that using this egg container would make it difficult for newly hatch chicks to maneuver out of. Plus, she...

Hey all. I'm hoping I can get some opinions from those of you with humidity/ventilation ratio experience and knowledge during lockdown. I've made another homemade incubator for this specific purpose. Can anyone tell me if I have enough vents open to satisfy viability during this time? My inside...

Code for — "OMG – this is my first time hatching eggs in a homemade incubator and I hope I know what the heck I'm doing." I think I have hatch fever. Symptoms: • Checking the temperature every 15 to 30 minutes. • Calling your wife at home asking her what the temperature is every 15 to 30...

Forgive a stupid question, but I haven't seen one in action. I don't know if the egg turner I bought off eBay is good or bad. Is it suppose to turn when you plug it in, or turn ever hour, two hours? I have a feeling I was duped into a defective item and it took more than 3 weeks to get here...

Yippee! I finally finished it and it's working perfectly. I'll be picking up my eggs on Saturday, provided my egg turner gets here by Friday. I would enjoy your comments and/or feedback. A big Thanks to BYC and it's members for a great wealth of information.

Introductions are awkward for me as I am more of a lurker so, I'm just gonna jump right in ... I'm not new to raising chickens. I have been around them most of my life. My grandmother had many chickens and I helped her take care of them. I had a bunch of Leghorns in high school and into...

Greetings BYC peeps. I've been lurking here for a while trying to gather information on all things chickens. I'm in the process of converting a shed into a coop and building my own incubator. In my quest for information I ran across an article on dry incubation by Bill Worrell and wondered if...
