So far no pips. The eggs are fertile but I think it's the incubator or the thermostat. I will give it one more day then try again after I fix the problems.

Here I go...

two days of my incubator set at 101* but both temps inside the bator are reading only 96*. I am going to turn it up a degree and see what my reading says from there. Bleh. I hate how off my incubator is. No good No good.

I hope your eggs are okay. Better that they were lower than higher.

Sorry about your incubator struggles. My disastrous hatch a couple of days ago I think was caused by a humidity problem with the incubator

New home for the Feb. chicks when they grow up



This will just be for juveniles, so no nest box

Thanks. Only the roof, trim, and door hardware were purchased. The rest of it was built from reclaimed shipping pallets

Sooo cute! And that's a great idea to have a simplified juvenile coop. I'd never heard of that before!

Nice re-use of materials!

Just a caution for those who want to work with the shipping pallets...You want to find the ones with HT on them...which mean the pallet was heat treated...as opposed to doused in pesticide. They do that to keep the pallet strong and away from rodents and bugs.

I use pallets for gardening at my home so we researched them quite a bit.
