I have been hatching my own and bought eggs for a couple of years now. I just recently ordered some eggs and popped them in the incubator. The first morning (13 hrs in) my temp dropped to 98.9. I know at 11 p.m. the temp was 99.5. I just pulled everything tonight and cracked them, day 6. Totals...

Several months ago I posted how the coyote's came in and killed my entire flock. This last Saturday they killed and ate my beloved pug, Kaiser. I can't explain the attachment to this dog. Let just say I am grieving really hard. When my flock was killed I called Animal Control and F&G and was not...

http://rockin-g-ranch.com/fancychickorders.html I am looking for English Orpingtons LF and I am thinking of just ordering chicks this spring. Minimum order is 15 chicks. Figure after I weed out the roos I should have like 2 left! Thankfully I have an outlet for all of my unneeded roosters. Any...

These are from the 5 mutts that I hatched October 12th. I spotted the 2 hens by the first week. One has me stumped though. Was very quick to feather out on the tail and shoulders and I was confidant it was a hen, now I am not sure. I am getting ready to take the roos to a friend and need all the...

I have a coyote or coyte's that will just not quit! I have lined part of my 5 acres with cholla thick and deep along the outside of the fence, lined more of it in chicken wire and did one stretch in hot wire. They are digging under the hot wire part. I tried moving it down lower and they are...

I ordered 2 dozen eggs from to separate sellers. They both specified that they would ship on Monday, I verified this with both of them. Well one of them shipped Saturday and the eggs arrived yesterday. The second seller shipped Monday, like they said they would. I have two incubators, but...

The love of my life, Raymond AAron Foster, aka The Big Guy, passed away on 4-17-2012. He was only 53 years old. I am devastated and so angry. On Tuesday morning at 6:30 a.m. he hugged me twice kissed me on the lips 4-5 times and said "You know I love you girl, right?, You know I love you". 4...

I am Ca. and all Raptors are protected. I have 5 acres and like to let my chickens free range. I have a Red Tailed hawk that is picking off around a chicken a week. He has got 3 in the last 9 days. I tried keeping my chickens cooped for a couple of weeks and that worked for a couple of months...

Here are two short videos ( 20 --30 seconds) of the chick that hatched last night. He came out of the egg like this. I used a band aid to old his legs in a more correct position. Did I do it right? Also is am I right in guessing this is a barred rock and a roo...

How long after you hear peeping should you expect to see pipping. My hatch from heck has one egg peeping right now/ I figured the hatch was going to be late because of power outage issues and counted Sunday instead of Friday as day one. I came home to night and noted that my humidity had jumped...

Eggs were set at 11:00 p.m on Jan 21st. On the 22nd power went out for around 8 hours, temps dropped into the low 80's and I now only have 3 eggs left. I am thinking that since the power went out, development was stalled so I should think of Sunday the 23 as my first day right? I have kept my...

Now I am getting one egg every other day. They are getting all you can eat lay pellets, the occasional handful of...

Cletus is my 9 yr old 115lb pit bull. Cletus was born in my home on Memorial Day weekend in 2003. When I have a pet such as a horse or dog it is considered a life time obligation for me. I have had several pets who spent their entire lives with me and died peacefully of old age. Cletus has...

Does anybody know which thread contained the link to an outside page ( I think it's an outside page) that shows the development of eggs, where the eggs were actually cracked open starting from day 1-3 and ending on day 18? I have searched for a couple of days but can't seem to find it. Any help...

So back to my incubation nightmare. I set eggs at 11:0 p.m. on Friday the 20th. On Saturday the power went out for 7 hrs. By my calculations these guys have been incubating for 72 + hrs under actual heat. The eggs are very light colored and I can see the yolks moving around inside as I candle. I...
