Y'all ... it's cold!!!

Welcome to Winter, Heather.
Hope you were planning to spend the week up here; it'll probably be that long before the region recovers.

Why can't we get away with mowing lawn like we shovel snow? You know a bit down each side of the drive and walk. Path to the coops and maybe a little my the mailbox.

'Cause the grass sharks would getcha

Hello everyone. I am new to the chicken raising community and am pleased to announce my first successful hatch of 7 adorable babies. However, I had eight eggs and it is the end of day 21. I candled and tapped but did not see any movement or hear any peeping. I also do not believe I saw a pip through the membrane and not the shell. I am worried about this and am wondering what to do next. I'm not sure if I sure try to make a hole in the air cell or not. Of course, I understand things happen but I just want to be sure I'm doing everything I can. Thank you.

You had 7/8 hatch out? Super! Some folks on here, with years of experience, can only wish for an 87.5% hatch rate.
