I have about 26 month old chicks. I had two barred rock roosters. They were doing great and then one afternoon about 2 days ago I went out to the pen and one was dead. The other barred rock seems depressed. He stands in a corner of the pen with his feathers fluffed up and is very sluggish. I...

I just recieved my first chick order ever. I ordered 25 and recieved 27 healthy peeps. They are beaufiful. Nothing but great things to say about mcmurrary.
On day 21.. Two hatched yesterday on survived:(. Waiting on the other 26 eggs to hatch. I am a little nervous. This is my first hatch. Is it normal to have hatches to happen over several days?
I posted a message earlier but didn't recieve an answer. I have 2 out of 28 that hatched today which is day 20. I don't know how long they have been hatched today. I was at work. Can I open the incubator to get them out to the brooder box so they can eat and drink?
On day 20. My Two silki eggs hatched today while I was at work. The others are stanard breed eggsthey have not hatched yet. Alot of movement on day 18 from those eggs though. I had one question. Do I move the two hatched chicks out of the incubator to give them food and water or do I wait?
I live where I can free range my flock. I can seen a number of hawks around the area. What can I do in my yard to ward off hawks? I was thinking of a large breed bird like a turkey or peafowl.
My Wife and I were candleing last night. We noticied that two of the chicks were upside down. The eggs have been in the proper postion. We are at 12 days. What are the chances of them hatching properly?
My wife and I candled all the eggs tonight. Out of 43 egg 32 were good. Two of the 11 bad were dead chicks and the rest were not fertilized. We could even see some chicks moving a little(we think).
I have had some trouble with my Lg temps. I have been candleing and have several good eggs. Some have changed on day 6. One had good viens but today saw more of a ring in the egg. Do I need to take this egg out?
I have several eggs in a Little Giant incubator. when I went to bed the temp was 100 degrees when I got up six hours later the temp was 112 degrees I adjusted the temp down. When I left for work it was 102 degrees. It was the first night in the incubator. Can the eggs hatch?
