I'm addicted! I set 18 more last night in a bator for May hatching. I have another 12 in lockdown and four hatched in the last 24 hours! Oh and did I mention that my 12 from two weeks ago are trying to fly out of the brooder? And did I also mentioned I told DH no more and yeah then I set the...

I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of your littlest chick.

Does this look like a RIR to you? He's the one that had the strange lesion on his hiney. It's all dried up and most likely will fall off or be absorbed. I saw on a TV show a chicken that looked like this and they called it a silver phoenix. Could it be?

I have about 8 eggs that are duds, I think. We set 21 last Thursday and 13 have popped. Nothing new overnight, not even rocking and rolling. I had one that was beginning to zip and then the rowdys banged it around something fierce. Since then, nothing out of it and it's been almost 24...

Quote: LOL. They should quiet down once they warm back up. It's supposed to get COLD here again tonight! Where exactly are you in CT? I'm in Suffield! In the Litchfield Hills, had to pull my plants in tonight to prevent frostbite. The chicks are in a sunroom outside of my bedroom where I can...

Got it, lights on! Red lamp it is. Lots of warmth. They were squawking something fierce when I shut it off. Now that DH has turned it back on they're yelling at him, probably for shutting it off.

Of the five I have under the brooder lamp, I need to shut that lamp off at night, yes? I don't want them to get cold but I don't want them to think it's daytime 24/7. Thoughts?

I'm fairly certain they are Rhode Island Reds. They were given to us to hatch by a guy who only has Reds or so he says.

It's moving around okay and resting as it should. Doesn't seem to be bothering it and for a while I thought it was the belly button. That's what I'm telling the kids for now. These are all Rhode Island Reds and our first hatch! We couldn't be more ecstatic and the kids are so happy. I...

Should I worry about this one? He seems to have a red something or other on his butt?!

Out of 21, we are up to 11 hatchlings! We are so excited that we are at that level! We locked down on Thursday the 8th and our first one hatched on Saturday night after about 11 hours of piping and zipping. The second one came on Sunday morning, two on Sunday afternoon, two Sunday night, two...

I'm so confused about mine. Set two dozen to hatch on the 21st. Set another dozen last Tueday. All in one incubator. So worried about flipping batch three and needing to lockdown batch one and two. Oughta be interesting.
