Quote: Awe I'm very sorry to hear that

Quote: your to much so funy waiting on chickens to hatch. don't worry they will come in time.

Quote: Your humidity is most likely climbing cause a chick has pecked a hole through the egg.and yes it's ok if it climbs. That is 1 way to tell a chick is on it's way out.

Quote: You shouldn't wait no longer than 25. Time will tell, And you might think hey are all fertile but in the long run they are not all fertile.Thats what I hate when I think they are all fertile and there not.Look for these soon Mine are always on time. day 18 I Raise the humidity up to...

Jloeffer: I will bet you that you get atleast 100% hatch if you got heat & humidity correct. I like that pen for your chicky's, I'm not getting many eggs but I am selling chickens. Just got assortment of Silkies in today. Good luck on your first hatch. look soon you will have these

I'll use dawn & bleach, But found out that it's to small for the turner to fit in.At this rate if I didn't have bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all. So I guess it's back to the drawing board for me and a incubator.glad everyone else is having better luck than me, LOL. Well no one is...

Don't worry about the eggs and I usally candle the eggs on the 8th day & by then you should be able to see some kind of movement. Yes I have made a cooler-bator But never a fridgebator. I'll just have to rewire it to hook up my lights & thermostat. Both fridges have 2 shelves in them.So I...

Omg well I got mini fridge today But got 2 for 1 But only 1 turner at the moment.Cost for the fridge is $10 and the guy told me he had 1 that didn't work so he brought it over too. So if I can hatch out atleast 50 pullets I'll be able to sell them to the feed store next door. But I just hope I...

As long as they are laying, send them on down. I only have 2 that are laying right now, I hope in a month or two I'll have them all laying but it's so hot here.I would love to have some more Silkies. If you know of anyone selling fertile eggs of silkies let me know with a decent price.

WOW I've never heard of that 1. But I have Americaucanas, Buff Orpingtons,Barred Rocks,Rhode Island Reds,Light Brahmas & Blue Silkies. I'm gonna have to slow down on letting people bring their unwanted hens to me & slow down on incubating them. Well cause of the heat their not laying as many...

I have about 60 chickens & counting. Alot of my Americauana's look like hawks so your cat might get confused and go after my chickens too None of them are laying yet.I hatch them out when I have enough eggs.

Quote: Maybe a sign to let them know? Or maybe they want to swap? Found any hawk babies among your broodies? I candles my eggs today. I can see shadows in all three and air spaces in all three. I guess the question is, are there babies in them or did I hard boil them... I've tried taking...

Hawks just got 2 of my chickens and I couldn't get close enough to scare him into dropping the chickens. Free range just turned into free food for hawks. They was supposed to pay for them before leaving with them.

If you can keep the temp & humidty correct you really shouldn't have a problem.But don't be like me on my 1st go and forget about turning for 1 whole day. But luckily they all hatch for me.But you will do just fine.

I love them wafer thermostats

new chicks hatching http://tinyurl.com/6zy9lz8

Wafer thermostat to me is the best. I used to use a lower water heater thermostat. With water heater thermostat your temps would give you a wide ranger of temps . It would go from upper 90s to lower 90s which isn't good. Once you set the wafer thermostat after you mess with it to get it to your...
