    What have I done? Hatching and crazy chicken math

    Well I think they didn't make it. She probably got off during that really hard freeze and let them chill too much or something. I know they are fertile cause I have some in the incubator and they are doing well right now. She has thrown two out that are obviously rotten. I broke one open...

    PLEASE HELP ASAP (PICTURE) NOT SURE WHAT TO DO, ONLY SECOND HATCH

    gald to hear she's doing better. Once you open you've risked shrink wrapping so might as well read a little bit about that. But don't freak out (I always worry when I read stuff).

    Why we should eat grass fed chicken-- read on

    When I'm traveling and my chickens can't get out to the grass. I have the sitter (when I get one) take alfalfa cubes (ones for horses I think) and put them in water for an hour then throw it in the pen. It is green and smells like grass and my girls choose it over their feed. I truly believe...

    Waiting for your hen to go broody !!!

    I didn't get to read the whole thread but the answer to the question how do you make them go broody. leave some eggs in a nest box for a couple days, almost always one of mine decided to then sit and go broody.

    Shipping Eggs

    I agree upright and small end down so that they can be set into the incubator with the best air cell and membranes possible. I still let them settle 12 hours after shipping before incubating. I have fairly good hatch rates with shipped eggs even though I only count on 50% when ordering.

    What have I done? Hatching and crazy chicken math

    I actually have been lucky and have had more than 50% on almost all my shipped egg hatches even in my little giant. I sometimes sell chicks in the spring so I might get rid of a few there if I have a good hatch this time. I love the math for my husband the whole incubator will only yield 6...

    What have I done? Hatching and crazy chicken math

    I wished mine saved money but they don't. I raise them to do what I can to ensure what I eat is raised humanly and for myself I appreciate the no antibotics, no GMO, somewhat free range, exposed to sunlight chicken and eggs. But I buy organic feed, so I certainly could buy chicken cheaper at...

    PLEASE HELP ASAP (PICTURE) NOT SURE WHAT TO DO, ONLY SECOND HATCH

    Please note that I'm not an expert. I have hatched many batches with fairly good success. The don't open til after is great advice. It can really reduce problems getting out of the shell for the 'batch' but may mean one doesn't make it because that one needed intervention. It looks like...

    What have I done? Hatching and crazy chicken math

    I wanted turkey but hubby says they are too noisy, we do live in a neighborhood. I keep it down to 1-2 roos when I can. When I'm hatching and replenishing I have quite a few more til I figure out which ones are going to get to stay. I currently have about 23 birds, lots of variety. I'm...

    help

    Well generally you are going to leave her in there until the hatch is over. If you open the incubator you can introduce a large blast of cool, low humidity air which will often shrink wrap the other chicks in their shells. Her crying will encourage the others to keep try to get out of their...

    What have I done? Hatching and crazy chicken math

    Well I haven't been in this section for a while... But it seems I'm now back and in a big way. Back in August a lady from an old co-op put out a please for easter eggers. At the time I happened to have about 24 eggs I had saved up and sent them to her for the cost of shipping. She had some...
