Hi, it's been a while since we raised Cornish cross and just need to k ow if the stock tank we have will be big enough for 10 birds (raising from day old to 3 weeks).
The tank measurements are 2'x5'x2'. I don't know how many gallons it is.
I'm on day 2 and the instructions says 48-55% humidity for days 1 to 18. It'll drop down to under 45% unless I keep the air vent all the way closed. If I keep it half open like the instructions say, then humidity will not get above 40%.
Hey y'all, I'm having issues keeping the humidity up to 50% or above at night unless I leave the space heater on, also happens during the day as well.
Our old incubator I would just loosely wrap in a towel and it would be ok. Can I do this with the NR 360???
I don't have any current photos, but the coop is like Ft. Knox, and the run has hardware cloth all the way around it. The top is small gauge chicken wire.
Thank you. I felt of her body buts couldn't feel anything out of the ordinary. Went and check on my 3 other birds, they seem fine.
I've got them in their small pen, thinking it would keep out any critters, but birds and that raccoon still got in. In all the years I've raised chickens, I've...
She doesn't feel bloated, but she is a heavier bird, dual purpose I assume. Crop seems fine. She's probably 3-4 years old. Have no idea when she last laid an egg. I haven't had eggs in a while.
I had a raccoon get in the pen about a week ago, still have no idea how and why he was in there...
I found one of my hens yesterday at lock up time laying under the coop ramp.
I thought she was egg bound, but she is pooping, very watery. She's alert, cleaned her vent area and everything looks ok.
What else could cause this?? Last night her breathing was rapid, today she's calmed down. I've...
I've got a Nurture Right 360 incubator, I've only used it once. I'm setti.g it up for the second time in over 2 years.
I have read and re-read the manual and cannot get the days to adjust.
The manual says it will count down from 21 for chicken eggs, well mine is on Day 1, it won't let me...
I'm getting ready to set some of our chickens eggs. But have a question.
I want to collect about 2 dozen before I put them in our incubator. I read somewhere, many years ago, that you need to elevate the eggs in a carton from one side to the other, once a day. Is this essential???
thanks...
