Hi I'm Bob. I am a healthy teenage (3.5 months old) Splash Easter Egger cockeral hatched out in April this year looking for a good home. In order to keep the rest of my flock this dude needs to go so the neighbors don't complain. He's just beginning to crow & is very well mannered. Free to a...

I was hoping somome could give me ideas on how to tell who is eating my eggs. I have noticed on several occaions that in one of my nextboxes there is yellow stains on the shavings from an egg being eaten. I usually get between 7-9 eggs a day and I have still been getting about 6-7 a day so...

Hi All, I had the power go out while I was sleeping for about 4-5 hours last night. I have about 19 eggs in the incubator on day 15. When I got up the power was back on and the temp was back up to 100. I didn't have time to candle them besides too light in that room during the daytime. I...

I have been incubating chicks this entire month. I was planning on putting the chicks in my spare coop until the coop being built for them has been finished so I do not have to keep them in the house. Well I had two of my older hens go broody so I put them in that coop to hatch some chicks...

I had five chicks hatch today and I had one more egg that had piped. The temp was about 102 and the humidity 75% due to the hot weather here today it was difficult to keep the temp down. Anyway I noticed that the chicks were breathing heavy and had their beaks open. So I put the piped egg into...

I bought eggs off ebay that said sex links and so I thought that when they hatched I would be able to tell the sex but they are all yellow with white feathers coming in. I asked the guy I purchased them from and he said both females and males would be white and that I can't tell until they get...

I set 13 Golden Laced Cochin eggs 10 days ago. I candled them and 5 were clear, 3 I could see movement and 5 had lots of red veins didn't see any blood rings. My question is it possible that the ones with veining are just developing slower than the rest or are then bad eggs?

I ordered way too many eggs and I am going to have to use the incubator that I bought as a hatcher. I plan to put my eggs into this incubator in the egg cartons and just put something under one end to raise it as a turning method. I will do this until I can make space in my other incubator due...

Anyone have one of these. I got it to be a hatcher. I have the 1588 model and they are completely different. My 1588 I just turn it on and it gets the correct temp and pretty much stays there. This one I have had on going on 3 days now and temp hasn't gotton over 93F. I read that you should...

Anyone here ever have any luck with My pet chciken's hatching eggs? I ordered about 18 eggs last year and only one hatched and most of them were clear at day 18. This was my first ever hatch so I thought maybe it was me. Right after that hatch I tried again but with shipped eggs from ebay and...
