Hello from NE Oklahoma!

[Chickensitter2013]

Hello! My sister has recently gotten a chicken flick and a bobcat wiped out half her flock so I bought her an incubator since the surviving hens were not interested in staying on the eggs they were laying. Now we are day 21 of first hatch with 2 left out of 12 for various reasons. Hoping for some pipping.popping.. trying to be patient

Hello, best wishes for a good hatch! Hope security has been beefed up for the chickens, once a predator finds out where they can get an easy meal, they return.

Glad to meet you, and welcome to BYC.

Here is an article about incubation that helped console me on the first few incubation adventures! Best wishes with your current and future hatches.

And here is an article about improving predator protections in new AND current coops and runs. And just in case you have really bad predators, here is an article about electric fences. I am so sorry about your sister's losses.

Hello, and welcome! Good luck with the hatch! That bobcat will come back, so make sure that it cannot take any of the new one's.
