one more question, how do I edit my signature? I did it once and I can't remember where to get back to it, it's different than other forums. Thanks

This particular chick had been pipped for almost 20hrs and had made no progress, so BIL helped it zip and then the membrane got dry/tough. So it was sort-of shrink-wrapped.I was told that this happened after you open the incubator, it dries out the membrane.I had one pipp internal, but died in there unable to pip externally and breathe.

up at the top there is the row of 'buttons' (forum, coops, breeds, etc) and you want to click on "MY PROFILE" and then scroll waaaaay down until you find the signagture part and click "edit" and then save it when you're done.one more question, how do I edit my signature?

I'm having a HORRIBLE streak of almost all of the eggs/chicks that go into lockdown pipping internally and then not making it any further. I'm giving incubating a break until spring, and then I'll probably try using our own eggs to figure things out instead of trying to use shipped ones.
Just popping in for a quick second to ask a question: I just went outside, and to my surprise my rooster was on my front porch! He doesn't want to go into his coop, apparently. I'm worried that it is too cold for him to be out like this, however, he is very aggressive, and there is no way I'm going to be able to get him into the coop without being attacked. He's actually becoming a problem, because he chased the meter reader lady out of our yard the other day because she got too close to the hens. Anyway, this is the first time he has ever refused to go into the coop? Has anyone else experienced this before and if so, what did you do?
I want to get rid of mine, either eating it myself or giving it away to be eaten, but my husband swears the rooster will get better. I know this not to be true, but he just won't listen. I did tell him that if it gets much worse, I will be going over his head and getting rid of the mean little thing.
But as for the refusing to go into the coop tonight, is he in danger of freezing to death?
Ah yes, we cross our NZ's with our Flemish Giants too, we get some nice colors that way.
Well we found what took our hen, as my DH found a HUGE raccoon on our front porch raiding our cat food, So now to decide what to do about it, poison, a 22? a cage? I'm not sure but he made me plenty mad that he slaughtered my hen like he did.
Anyways, we spent yesterday building a dining room table, my DH took the day off of work and today we sand and stain, great day to do inside chores, it is so cold already and the rain makes it feel even colder.
I would like to bake, but I don't even have enough eggs to bake with. I am consistently getting 2 brown eggs a day from my 4 hens that are IB and RIR, but my 2 EE and a SLW are giving me nothing at all, haven't laid an egg in a week, I know because we have them separated, it's a little disheartening to feed and care for 7 hens and only get 2 eggs/day.
Question
My 45 chicks are looking really good though, I was thinking of putting them in the big girls coop today, I have it blocked off so they can't be picked on by the big girls, but I am still nervous that it will be too cold for them, They are almost 6 weeks old, it's not like they are coddled now, they are in the garage with down to one heat lamp raised up pretty far, so they can sit under heat, but it isn't too hot, and when I go out to them they aren't all huddled under the heat lamp, would this be a good time to move them? at night I am guessing, or does it matter since they are going into there own space away from the big girls.
