Thanks.

I am wanting to start raising new chicks using both my incubator and having a broody hen. Was wanting some advise on the best breed for hatching and raising chicks. I need one that can handle cold temps I have 2 draft free coops but I do not heat my coops and would prefer not to have too. She...

I spent more than I wanted to. It was a little less than $3000.00. But we had them put in windows. To fit where I want it it can only be 8 feet wide so it is an 8 by 12.

My DH said it will be years before he has to by me a gift at the holidays lol. He likes the chickens as much as I do though. I wish we were better carpenters but we gave up after our first coop build and went to a shed.

I have not posted in awhile but I am excited just had my new "coop" delivered. My last hatch put me over maximum chickens so instead of reducing my flock I enlarged my coop. I have found sheds to be the easiest to make into a coop. My existing 8 by 6 shed will now be a brooder. My new bigger...

Th Thanks. I was afraid the two in the first photo were males. I am enlarging my run and coop and planned on keeping one of the males but I can’t see keeping two and of course they are the friendliest and my DD favorites.

Sorry in advance multiple pictures; and I am not a good photographer. These babies are almost seven weeks. Any ideas which are pullets or cockerels? The first picture shows my DD favorites so I am hoping at least one is a pullet. .

11 of the 13 eggs that were fertile hatched. One zipped by did not make it out and it has been Zipped over 24 hours and no movement so I assume she passed. The other that did not hatch never pipped. I will leave them in for another day or just in case. The other 11 are all moving and eating...

I am not sure if it is the yolk or waste. This was immediately after hatch. She drug the shell around for a few minutes and then it fell off. This is my first hatch so I am not sure what I am looking at.

Help I have a baby in the incubator who is attached to shell. Does she have a chance? What should I do see picture

Hopefully someone else hatches soon. Surely with setting 14 eggs I will at least get two. It has been 4 1/2 hours since he hatched and still no friend.

I can't get the video to upload but her is a picture of the first baby. Hopefully someone else hatches soon to keep it company. How long should I leave it in the incubator?

I am so excited in the last two hours I have 4 external pips.

Out of 14 eggs one was clear but the other 13 made it to lockdown. I set up a motion detector camera so hopefully we will get a video.

Hopefully my chicks make it we lost power last night so the eggs were driven across town to my mother's and then back home again today. We used a USB battery in the car so the temp stayed good. Do you think the car ride damaged the chick?

I plan on removing the Turner at lock down on the 18. My hatch date is the 21st. Do you normally remove your Turner?

The light green eggs are the ones I can see the veins in the best. I can see some in the brown but not as well and not all of them show veins. How long should I wait to determine if the others are developing?

I am excited to say I can see veins in several of my eggs. I set them in the evening on march 31 so we are just now at day 4.

My incubator came in today. I have cleaned and now have it up and running. It says I should be able to add the eggs in four hours. I am thinking I will add 14 eggs that way even if we get a little less than 50% hatch we should get at least six. The incubator seems to be very user friendly...
