I don't know. This post is just a downward spiral I doubt anyone can help me with. I was actually trying to sell off most of my flock because I'm overwhelmed. Basically I had like 50+ chickens after some overly successful hatches in April. I listed 6 rooster and a guy offered to trade for 2...

I've assisted plenty. Actually 2 this morning. I usually just chip away shell and put them back in and they finish themselves. I've gone too far in the past and there's unabsorbed yolk so I try to wait it out. This morning I chipped away the 3 chicks. There were some blood vessels on this one, I...

I have a Farm Innovators incubator, digital, w turner and fan. It has a fan but has a weird cold patch in the corner. Why is it like that? What can I do about it. Ok next question. I'm being forced to get rid of my roo and my hens just started laying about 2 weeks ago. The eggs are tiny but I...

Hi. Sorry if this has been asked I couldn't find it anywhere. I have a Farm Innovators that got crushed! It has successfully hatched like 7 hatches, so I'm bummed. The Shopper's supply only has an LG with no fan. Can I swap out the fan from the crushed incubator? Also mine was the old kind with...

Or is there a contest like this. I wasn't sure. As the title says. Using your newly hatched chicks as props in your Easter pics. Soooo adorable! My niece and my two youngest sons with leghorns hatched last week.

I'm considering rehoming a few hens because I really don't need this many and I have chicks on the way too. I originally wanted two of each but now maybe one. And my older girls I love and they're still laying nice huge eggs so I don't want to do that either. I just can't decide and I'd like to...

Welcome everyone to the September hatch a long! Please either pm or mention in thread what you're hatching and set and due dates and I'll add your info here. Here's what I have so far. Happy Hatching! Joplus: 36 blue and black copper Marans Due: 9/8/15 Ciryluk3g: 6 lemon mileflure...

I had 4 flemish giant rabbits. They're a couple years old, fat and healthy. They live outside in Arizona. It has gotten cooler but there's a heat lamp out there. They live with 11 hens and 4 guinea pigs. I went out there last week and my new guinea pig, a Cuy was dead. My male flemish was on his...

They are 5 weeks old. I hatched them myself. I didn't realize they come in different colors and apparently that has no bearing on gender. They could be laying in a few weeks?! That's crazy. They seem like babies still. Here's pics of all 5. 2 white and yellow, one yellow and brown and 2 brown.

Ok if anyone has any thoughts on whether this will work. I have a huge fenced section of my backyard for my pets where the dogs can't get them. I have rabbits, guinea pigs, and chickens. I recently hatched out coturnix quail and some blue ameraucana at the same time. They are in the brooder...

I hatched my eggs in an incubator and I have a bunch of roosters I'm not allowed to have. They're really friendly and beautiful with feathered feet. I also have Rhode island reds and Buff orphington roosters too.

I have 9 week old black copper Marans, buff orphington and Rhode island reds. Some have bigger combs but my 2 year rir hen has such a big comb it falls over so is that any indication? The Marans seem easier because they have bigger combs, tail feathers and starting to get copper feathers on...

I feel like we all read the same instructions, most of us have the same crappy incubators (styrofoam), the same tiny fluctuations or other bumps along the way. Then I read folks who did just what I did (which is nothing special) and get way less hatch rates. I got 91% last time and I'm nervous I...

Ok so I just set 20 blue black splash ameraucana eggs. 8 are from a breeder who shows and won all kinds of awards. The others from someone else. They look the same as far as the shells go. I marked the show ones. But once they hatch it'll be chaos (47eggs total in the bator). So any ideas how I...

I'm so grossed out to have to even explain this awful situation. I have 6 laying hens about 2 years old. I have known I have poultry ticks for a long time. I live in AZ and use lights in the winter so the ticks never freeze. They have a coop but free range. Once I month we clean the coop, throw...

Help! No one responded on the chick forum (what's up with that place, just dead?). My babies are either passed out or panting. Its 102° today and the brooder is too hot. I have a fan on the floor but if I put it directly on them they crowd on one side. I put frozen water bottles in there too. It...

Its over a hundred degrees now. The chicks are a week old. They are panting. I have a fan on the brooder and a frozen water bottle and its in the garage. Its colder at night and the big girls are out there so I can't let them loose. Any other ways to cool them?

In one hatch? Or at one time? I want to refill my incubator. I want to spend more than I should, lol. I could get the same eggs for $15/dozen but where's the fun in that? I found semi local breeders of more rare eggs but much more. The eggs I want are $48/dozen for polish, $42/dozen for Brahma...

So I just hatched my first hatch, I got 30 chicks out of the 3 dozen eggs I set. So lots of chicks, more than I expected. So I have a coop and run outside which has my 6 hens (a couple years old), my Flemish Giants and guinea pigs. They all get along. The area is large like a sectioned off part...
