    Poultry Breeding Pens/Coops

I have lots of groups/pairs I would like to keep separate so I was wondering if anyone had any info/ideas to help me out. I found a few double decker cage ideas online, which seem very...

    Dead egg?

    All the rest have hatched while we were on vacation )we had someone watching them.) except this one. We figured it’d hatch out by now we collected these all about the same time. But to me it kinda looks like it stoped growing but I’m not too sure how to tell and the dark kinda blood spot on...

    Assisted hatching?

    This egg has been like this for 8 hours. Membrane is starting to dry out and turn brown. The last time this happened I had to assist the chick out. Should I wait a little longer before assisting? I don’t want to ruin the other eggs. Most have pipped but not made any progress in the 8hrs I’ve...

    Please help!! call ducklings dying during hatch

    I started with 7 eggs, all fertile and all were growing and developing fine. 3 days ago I candled and 2 of the eggs had died and stopped growing, no veins and the inside was yellow. There 2 both had much smaller airsacs then the rest so I’m assuming that is why they died? I removed those 2 and...

    Slow developing eggs?

    Long story and some commentary. This is a weird one, at least for me. I have hatched eggs about a dozen times succesfully, four with my Brinsea Maxi 24 Advanced with this being my fifth. This last batch we had a problem with the incubator, and power outages. The turning motor stopped working. I...

    Owls 🦉 How to Deter

    We've lived in Arizona for 30 years. In 2012 our friend and neighbor Lou passed. He would put rocks up on the top columns of his patio for doves to nest. Doves are horrible nest builders and often their eggs roll out of their flimsy built nest. The neighbor who bought his home had no interest...

    Broody Hen that killed chicks, do we try again?

    We had a broody hen but she killed one of the chicks after hatching. We removed the rest of the eggs and transferred to the incubator but didn’t have much luck. She’s still super broody - can I give her another chance to hatch/mother a clutch of eggs? Or is it once a killer always a killer? Help!

    How long for a full nest to hatch?

    My Indian Runner has been on 3 eggs, all were viable, I have seen all the signs when candling. The first hatched yesterday but there is no sign of the other two hatching. How long should I leave it before removing the eggs? Thanks for your help and advice

    This is a 'brain dump' of all my thoughts and actions of our first incubating and hatching journey - from receiving the eggs to popping the chicks into the brooder. It's purpose is for me to be able to look back on it for future hatches, and for others to be encouraged and hopefully learn...
