I wonder if I should interfere in Tintins upbringing by Pearl. He is stil nurtured, sleeps in a nest-box and doesn’t roost at all. It’s about time he starts to poop from the roost. On the other hand it’s not inconvenient if he doesn’t roost when his mother leaves him. That way it’s easier to...

No update. In this post I’m sharing my experience and solution with broodies who prefer to sit in a prefab where the hens usually lay their eggs. The nestbox/upstairs area in the prefab is a spot thats not safe without a few adjustments because 2 day old chicks can go down but not up a...

Duplicate from Shads thread:. Tintin is bigger now as his momma. The photo doesn’t show but trust me he really is bigger. 9 weeks and still sleeping with mamma Pearl in a nest box, next to the 2 broodies. Eggs are all growing ;) Black an Ini mini both came off to eat, drink and poop. Black...

In the meanwhile I candled all the eggs. All 10 were fertile and started to grow. Even the embryo in the egg that rolled out from under the broodies and was getting cold (#1), developed normally. The other 3 eggs in the incubator are visibly a bit behind. I put the eggs in 1.5 days after I...

I found it works different than with the coops. The idea is that you have bought this item too and share your opinion on the product. Not meant to give a review on the writer. ;):gig

I don’t know how you did this. I got a message you rated the article but I don’t see it. 🤣 @Molpet did it right. ;) Thank you’ll

This morning I heard Tintin trying to crow. 🐸

I posted the HDD 4 egg incubator in the reviews section for people who search for info on incubators. Nice if you give a few stars for my review. https://www.backyardchickens.com/reviews/hdd-4-egg-incubator.12126/

Review 4 egg HHD incubator : In this tiny incubator I can only turn the 55g eggs up and down. Strange I have to turn the eggs up and down, especially when they develop later in the process. I believe it is more natural to lay the eggs sideways and roll them over to the other side. But in this...

So far so good! I did candle 4 of the eggs from underneath the broodies. They are underneath the broody from Wednesday evening. The torch I have to candle is broke. Therefore I used my mobile with the ring of the candle torch. It worked but didn’t get a clear image of the veins. After 5 whole...

I think the Amrocks will resemble the size and build of Katrientje. Today I picked up the 4eggs-mini brooder. Because one egg was not under the 2 broodies yesterday evening, I thought it might be a good idea to start the machine anyway. The 3 hatchery eggs I hadn’t put in the nest started 1.5...

❣️You could let her sit for 3 weeks on a couple of her own eggs ;). She looks so wonderful I wouldn’t mind to have her offspring. Great for Chipie to have a few daughters of about the same size. 😍 Hope you dont mind my silly response. I know you dont want more chickens and certainly not more...

No words needed. 😍

My broodies Black and Ini mini are very pleased I leave them to sit in the nestbox. I gave them 7 hatchery eggs tonight. The count down starts today! The first chicks are expected on June 19. Its busy in the small old coop with the nestboxes now. Pearl and Tintin sleep in the other nestbox.

I have an option for a mini-incubator. Second hand for 10€ to pick up tomorrow. Its for 4 eggs only. Because its nice to discard any infertile eggs when I can only put 4 -5 under Black its great to be able to change the infertile eggs with eggs from the incubator. And….. just now I caught...

Nope. I don't want more than 4 or 5 chicks. The main reason is: I really had too many problems with 9 chicks last year. The hens probably thought there were too many invaders and didn’t want the chicks to roost in the coop extension (the main roosting area). Didnt have such problems before...

I bought 6 bantam Amrock eggs today, and got 4 extra as a present. 🎁 When I got home I weight the eggs, because they looked so big. 40-50 g is standard. But these eggs were 50-55 g. I contacted the owner and she said the Amrocks weren’t big at all, bc her bantam Wyandotte are the same size. If...

Pearl and Tintin Ini mini and Katrientje Things can change rapidly with chickens. Kraai didn’t seem to know or she should be broody or not be broody. The tiny coop with the chicken door is definitely a no go. Black became broody too on Saturday on freshly laid real eggs in the normal laying...

Katrientje. Pearl and Tintin Ini mini and Janice Today I made the Chickencozy door upon the tiny coop. easy peasy to install. This seemed the perfect place for Kraai to hatch a couple of eggs too. But I didn’t buy eggs. Two things went wrong. 1 I moved Kraai to the tiny coop with the...
