    Updated Question on Chick Temps

    Hi All, I have already talked about this before and I have updated info. My baby chicks will be 6 weeks old and fully feathered this week. When they are 7.5 weeks old I would like to put them outside (temps high 45, low 25). Is a temp of 45/25 too cold for chicks at 7 weeks old? I am going out...

    Temps for days 0-3

    I bought a digital LG, still air, egg turner off someone. I wrongly assumed the temp was correct since it was digital (I know, I’m reading how moronic I was). On day 1, I tested the temps and they were actually around 98. Day 2, around 99-101. Day 3, 100. No matter what I set the incubator to...

    Incubator temp went up to 102 during hatch after first pip. Is that okay?

    I’m hatching my second set of eggs and the first one just pipped. I noticed the temp went up to 102. This didn’t happen during the first set. The temp has been the same exact temp until now. (100). I cracked it a smidge to see if the temp would go down but not for long because I didn’t want the...

    Temperature is dropping at night

    Hi I'm on day 3. And it's been getting kinda cold at night and my incubator temp drops about 8 degrees during the night. Will this hurt the eggs with temp dropping every night :confused::pop

    Incubator temperature after hatch

    How long can the chicks stay in the incubator after hatching? Is there enough oxygen? And should I keep the temperature the same after hatch? I'm worried that after a successful hatch, and me being at work they'll suffocate.

    Two Week Old Chicks

    Our one hen Nugget decided to go broody and I let her nest on eggs. Out of the six eggs she had, she hatched 2! They are currently living in our garage in a horse trough because I feel better keeping the chicks safe from the rest of the flock for now. We were lucky enough to just acquire an...

    Hatching batches in the same incubator

    if I hatch 2 batches of duck eggs in the same incubator a week apart, what do I do during lockdown? I'm going to raise the humidity but what about turning the younger eggs.

    What do I do with my incubator if I will be gone for two days?

    Hi All, I have a Janoel 12, which has an automatic turner. However, I still freak out about leaving the incubator without checking the temperature and making sure the eggs have actually turned enough! What should I do if I must go away this weekend? I am nearly positive you should never...

    My baby chicks

    Hi, I’m new to hens and my broody had chicks a couple of weeks ago. At the moment, we don’t have the right coop to keep predators away from baby chicks, so we’ve separated them from their mother unfortunately, and we’re hand rearing them, as some predators have sadly killed the other chicks and...

    Broody Hen keeps coming off nest

    I have a Blue Cochin who has gone broody for the second time in a very short time span. Chicks are only 5 weeks old. So I separated her and made what I thought was a nice nesting box. I moved her into the box with the fake eggs she had been sitting on. That night I took the fake eggs out and...
