How do you guys feel about having feed in the incubator for chicks when they hatch? They definitely don't need it unless for some awful reason they would be in there for longer than 3 days. I have never done this but recently had a hatch where one chick hatched a day and a half earlier than the...
Beautiful day here so let the chicks see the world for the first time. One of the brown leghorns discovered a little stick and of course they all had to fight over it. :pop
These are just some good ol' hatchery chicks for my mom's backyard flock so nothing fancy, but I'm excited to see how the...
Hello everyone, I was a member on BYC a long long time ago and after a long hiatus going to college and living away from the coop I have returned to this wonderful community and am so glad to be back! It looks like a lot of changes have happened but all for the good! Looking forward to...
Hello BYC,
I have been working on a project to create an excel spreadsheet that easily tracks incubation and things like % weight loss per week and fertility.
If there are any excel nerds out there like me that have done similar projects it would be great to collaborate and share some ideas...
A complete description of all recognized breeds and varieties of domestic poultry. Book is used, but in great condition. Has hardly been used. I bought it a few years ago and ended up not needing it. I did make the mistake of writing my name on a blank page after the front cover, but that can...
I am trying to post a classified and every time I do it tells me I can only have 1 ad open at a time. Well I have none open. I click on the link that says 1 open classifieds and it takes me to my feedback page which says open classifieds (0). So I don't know what's up. Any Ideas?
I need a new pair of chinks and I don't want to have to pay a lot of money. So i thought maybe someone on here had a pair in good condition that they no longer used and would be willing to sell for around 50.00 bucks or so. kinda like these or similar...
I have a Hova-Bator 1588 Genesis Incubator for sale that is in very good condition. I've only had it for about a year and am just selling it because I'm going to college and no longer have a use for it. This is a preset forced air incubator. So it is very easy to use and leaves little room...
I'm looking for any rosetta stone package that you've used and no longer want to buy for a lower than retail price. I don't care what language or level it is just as long as it is complete! let me know if you've got anything!
Hi I'm looking to improve my language skills but I really can't afford to pay for rosetta stone. Does anybody have one they're not using that they would send to me to let me borrow? Then I'd send it back once I was done. Or we could do a trade for some hatching eggs or something. I need...

So I know the Marans were admitted into the APA Standard but what class were they put in? I've got the SOP but they're not in there obviously since it's only the 2010 printing. Where is the information the APA has come out with?
This girl was a straight yellow chick, cute as can be. When she started feathering in I was like WOW! You're gorgeous! haha Her mother was a Black Copper Marans and her father was a buff orpington. I love how her neck is darker then her body. do you guys think that's because of the Black...

So I've got this home made incubator that to get the humidity up high enough for hatching it takes up half the space filled up with trays and sponges. I was thinking to save room I could mount the trays higher up on the sides. Do you think that would still keeping humidity up? I know it's all...
