Do share what those eggs of your are! Lavender!!?!

The chicken eggs are actually green. Between the turkey eggs, yellow turner, poor lighting, and camera phone the color isn't right.

I have a hatching/incubating question. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I set eggs due to hatch today and see nothing. no pips, no chicks nothin. Humidity is 65% and it's 100 degrees in the incubator. What am I doing wrong?

If your thermometer is off some and your temp is a bit low, they'll hatch a little later. Give them some time.

i have a question.... i have heard on here some folks using vinegar in chicks and chickens water...
and i also read another place online of them putting a tablespoon of sugar in a qt of water for newly born chicks
what are the thoughts on this? the vinegar (with mother)sounds interesting since i know it is great for humans and helps build
the immune system but anyhow i should have chicks soon and meant to ask this earlier and kept forgetting! THANKS!!

another thing is our neighbor has chickens and doesn't use medicine to keep them healthy but uses natural things he "worms" them with
cyanne in the summer and fall.....any thoughts on this also would be helpful!!

I put all my newly hatched chicks on vitamins/electrolytes for a week.

Quote: Quail eggs set Tuesday are fine. I was responding to the members asking if it was okay on setting their chicken eggs a bit early or a bit late.

I think she was talking about the main set of chicken eggs yesterday. I'm sure it would be a two day window each way for each species. Otherwise we would have discounted the waterfowl and turkeys too.
