How long a baby chick can survive in incubator?

You sure do speak with a lot of stubborn certainty for somebody who admits to not knowing much. It would serve you well to learn from the experience

Please stop posting falsehoods, especially with such determination, and especially if you have no experience. These statements are simply not true.

I think that you are the one who is stubborn and thinks know everything.

We don't need one, this post you sent, shows everything.

no outdoor chicken lay eggs in winter.

I have had outdoor chickens in Northern Virginia that laid eggs in the winter. Yes, they had shelter (roof and windbreak). No, they did not have artificial light or heat.

Many other people on this forum have posted their experiences with chickens that laid eggs in the winter too, and the vast majority of those chickens live "outdoors" (chicken coop and run, without added light or heat or anything else that would trick their bodies into believing it is a different season.)

My large fowl chickens all laid around the 5 month mark -pretty much around the same time, and in the middle of winter when were were getting about 9 hours of daylight. It's fairly normal for pullet to lay throughout their first winter. Although I've been told that one of the breeds I have will lay throughout winter (russian orloff), I don't know whether I'll get any this coming winter. It honestly doesn't matter, I value my hens' health over their eggs, and actually wish they would take a break now and then!

If you ask around, you'll find that plenty of hens of all ages will lay eggs throughout winter

Here's photo evidence of mine (note snow in background)!

I had to shovel a path for all the animals because none of them would walk on snow!

Yeah, chickens do that in spring and summer, when the sun shines 14 hours a day, but no outdoor chicken lay eggs in winter.
I mean chickens are seasonal breeders, meaning their sexual activity depends on season and the duration of a day.

My hens lay in the winter, just not every day. My better layers are just usually 2 or 3 a week as opposed to 6-7 a week

That article flat out says that hens often slow down laying. That's not stopping for the winter

This is bananas, all my chickens have always laid in the wintertime. My layers are almost 4 and they lay about every other day in the dead of winter. I should add, I live in Minneapolis and my coop is not insulated or lit, and this year's polar vortex was gnarly. Homie, do you keep chickens? 'Cause I think maybe you think you know chickens by reading a "chickens for dummies" book or a cliff notes.

He admitted to being new to chickens and not knowing anything, yet he jumps at anybody who tries to give him information… and keeps insisting on his wild claims.

You know making eggs is a sexual activity and needs hormonal changes. In some animals like the birds, the hormons levels take effect from the light. Maybe your hens get the hormonal peak and release yolk.
