When do you remove a heat lamp from chicks? Mine were born Christmas day and are in the house but upstairs 48-63 degrees. I tried a search on heat lamps and too much came up. Thanks

Once Fully Feathered.

NO "Fuzz" feathers.

usually 8 weeks??

Morning peoples. Here are some baby pics for everybody to ogle.

Baby pics. Third pic down (the chick with the leg band) is named Joe (named by my son) and was the first to hatch. Pics are from yesterday and the babies are 1 week old today.

Hi everyone, been a busy weekend. Just caught up. Trying to get larger brooder for my chicks from 2016 HAL but numerous other things came up and did not quite get it done.
Hi @LocalYokel

Question for you how do you get the @ sign to work when I put it in it does what you see above. Maybe it's this old pad I use.

HOW to keep typing after you @ someone! see: post #1088
This worked for me and Sally.

The time is drawing near, Bubbles! Won't be much longer you'll be hovering over the bator... wringing your hands. Waiting... wondering... worrying... going out of your mind...    

Can't wait to get started, can you???     

Have a great night, Bubbles!!!   

I can't wait to put my first noseprint on! e
Don't worry, I think I am already out of my mind to be opening the gateway to something so bad for my chicken math!
(I do actually have quite a few people who would like 7-10 chicks though..) :yiipchick
Gmorning, Ur!

A baby what?  Looks like me when I stuck the key from a coffee can into an electric socket    

(True, I guess... But it is much cuter!)

Awesome! I really want my serama to go broody. Broody hens are so much easier!

X2... The broody beams from Sourland still have not gotten here, but guess it's tough getting BSL to go broody. I think he misfired the broody GPS and it hit me a while ago.... Got a BO and a BSL broody!

I think these are different angles of her lol

Squeeeee!!!!!!! e
I said it once, I will say it again! THAT IS THE CUTEST CHICK EVER!

Rabbit math is worse than chicken math

Eh, not really, I managed to only have 2 rabbits over 4 years, it's easy as long as you have the same gender.....

Ok I started a thread for my breeding of seramas, If you guys want to pop by here is the link!

You mean this?

I think that you will need an industrial bator for that!

Oh goodness... So full of good stuff, hard to know where to start!

You pretty much just gotta read them....
.... Lots of incubation shtuff, very interesting!



Ya know what's funny? I have read hatching 101 10+ times, and every time I find something I hadn't noticed before. The information multiplies!

@prizepete subscribed sweets! I hope your doing well!

Good morning all! Woke up to 4 more poults in the bator, which brings me to 10 so far. The last 3 hopefuls are pipped and wiggling

my 5 week old silkies are taking turns caring for the poults in the brooder while my NYD HAL BCM chicks are enforcing the rules lol. I need to go get another heat lamp tonight so I can get my big brooder set up and move some of these guys out there. It's just SO cold out!

These are 100% lousy photos but I guess that's not what a tablet is designed for.

Congrats @Auroradream26 !!!!

what a good mornin for you!

After coming home, from 3 days away, I am realizing the battery inside the remote to the digi thermometer was jogged loose. After 6 hours of (suspiciously) the same exact reading, I discovered it. I'm guessing the actual temps were somewhere around 98 degrees...for God knows how long. Good news is, when I candled tonight (Day 8), most air cells looked great and there are signs of life in 29/45, with 6 being supermarket eggs (they account for a big ZERO in the live category). We have: 1 Olive Egger, 2 Splash Marans, 8 BCM, 1 Lavender Cuckoo Orpington, 5 Lav. Orpingtons,1 Frizzle, 4 Crested Cream Legbars, 3 Bielefelders and 4 Silkies (thanks AGAIN Kathy @Jessimom !)... In the ones that are viable at this point, there was still a lot of movement. I had to make a run to the 24 hour pharmacy for my 5 year old (ear infection...apparently

)... I caught all this when I came home and checked on the babies...thank goodness! I'm up now and watching all 3 thermometers until everything settles out... Talk to me about the damage.

@Sally Sunshine @mlmddh

you cant go back, delayed hatch dont fret on it. good morning Shellee

Good Morning all!

Nice looking chicks AD26
