    (Sort of) Valentine's Day Hatch-A-Long

    What's a great Valentine's day activity regardless of if you have a partner or not? Hatch chicks, of course! 🥰❤️ Not sure how appropriate it is to call this a "Valentine's day hatch-a-long" if they're only being set on Valentine's day, hence the "sort of" lol Each year I have a naming theme...

    Clouds' Broody Hatch-A-Long

    'Bout time I actually made one of these :caf I have two silkie broodies, Bee and Cider. A double broody hatch probably isn't the best idea but I've got a few plans in place for if it doesn't work out. Hopefully they'll just stick with their own sets of eggs and not steal from each other too...

    Hatch-a-long June/July Hatching Begins

    Put 18 Barred Rock eggs in the incubator this afternoon. Picked them up from a local breeder so no shaken chick syndrome. We ordered 11 Barred Rock chicks in April but as they got to a month old we realized we were given the wrong breed (we believe they are black Jersey Giants.). So not taking...

    Choose an egg Hatch-a-long

    Time for an other hatch a long. I set 41 eggs this evening. Feel free to chose an or to egg and name it. The eggs are from our flock. I’m not sure what breeds they are. 36 and 37 are OEGB. I think the green eggs are from our starlight green Egger.

    One hen ate one of of my "hatch-a-long" eggs

    Good morning. I marked 13 eggs last week to see if they would hatch. Last night, I caught one hen eating one of the eggs, so I temporarily moved my broody hen and the remaining 12 eggs into my dog's crate, in my kitchen. Will it be safe to place Momma and the eggs in an open cat carrier in the...

    Shipped eggs, Air cells, and Hatch-a-long

    I recently bought 18 eggs from a Dutch bantam breeder. I have never hatched shipped eggs before. Some of the air cells are "saddled" and others are not attached. I have read that you have to put these eggs in egg cartons on day 18. But what about beforehand? Do they need a different humidity...
