hoping we can all set aside any misunderstandings and move forward, and enjoy sharing hatching experiences.

Somehow, that seems to be a bit on the cruel side to me. Chicks not designed like kittens and puppies to be picked up that way. I wonder what my feet would be doing if someone picked me up by the scruff of the neck!!!

Already have, THANK YOU.

AHAHAHA, I love to see that, could someone actually dangle you. LOL

I'd like to see pics of your paints if you have any.
I read this when I first came on BYC. A young person made a post that a farmer came to her school and told the kids that's how you sex chicks and she was so excited to try it!

Pics are on my Site www.lwbarnhouse.com

I tried it can't remember exactly the results. LOL Now I go by the shape of the egg.

They can stay inside as long as you can stand them inside....lol My first successful hatch happened in the month of November. I didn't have anything set up for them either and wouldn't have put them outside in the middle of an upstate NYwinter, so I kept them in our "school" room- for the winter. They even had their own little "inside coop". and OMG- Never ever ever again. Between the work work work to keep them clean and the chicken dust...whew!

You need one end of your brooder heated. I keep mine 100F the first couple of days and 95-100F the rest of the first week before lowering it to between 90-95.

Honestly thank you all for helping. I have more questions I read on hatching 101 about doing a humidity calibration with salt would this work with digital?
