Granny's gone and done it again

Or some chickens!

LOL!

Don't sell yourself short.
Keep your eyes open for a second-hand incubator, set it up & make sure it's working right, set half a dozen of your own eggs, and get your feet wet. All the books in the world won't beat experience. Get stuck?...ask for help, and think like a broody hen.

True wisdom there!

My "horse chickens" have a rooster...all are eating the same layer pellets...never had a problem with "him" only eating that

The damage is internal and is not something you really recognize as what it is without a necropsy when the bird dies -- what is found is evidence of various internal issues caused by the diet that have caused the life to shorten fairly considerably to what it could have been on a more appropriate diet.

Have you ever been so tired and hungry that you fix your self something to eat and as your eating you find a hair or fuzz in it thats not yours and you just pull it out and finish your food ?

Have I mentioned my time in a vet clinic? Lunches were fast and often times eaten while looking through a microscope. I don't even think twice if it's animal. Human on the other hand

Wow - nothing like working a full-time job to give one a renewed appreciation for the days of the week, specifically the one coming tomorrow! LOVING the new job, just taking some getting used to being on a new schedule....looking forward to the weekend, though, as we're supposed to be dry Sunday and Monday so

that between DH and I working Sunday and DH/FIL working Monday we just might end up with a functional coop in time to pick up chicks next weekend.

No coop pics yet Mare ? Do you need to borrow my rolling pin ?

I agree , looks like a day 16 to me so I wouldnt worry too much. What do you have your bator set to and is it fan or still air.

Still air. Think it's about 101 might be the problem. I'll hold off on lockdown until Saturday? Give him a little more time.
