    Not looking too good for shipped eggs

    I bought some pretty expensive silkie eggs from the other side of the state. Took less than 24 hours to be shipped and received. The box looked great when I got it and were packed so well, I doubt a fart could have escaped! Got them all in the incubator 6 days ago. I candled on days 4 and 5...

    NR360 issue

    Has anyone else had a chick injured in this incubator? My chick had her leg stuck in one of the holes around the edge, inside the bator! No telling how long she'd been stuck like that!! She hatched before I went to bed and I left her in it to fluff up. Now I feel bad. I put her in the brooder...

    Can I calibrate 2 hygrometers in the same bag?

    So I calibrated my Acu-rite and Govee in separate bags. They've had 14 hours. The acurite reads 72% humidity while the govee reads 69.2% humidity. My question is can I put them both in the same bag to compare the same salt/water lvls?

Seller sent them Monday morning and I got them Wednesday morning. She sent double what I ordered! Yayyyy! They were packaged so well but the box...

Animal control has traps set up and I've been hunting but that's a different story. Anyway... I had surgery a few...

    Crazy hatch!!

    What a wild hatch this has been!! It all started when a friend, Terra, gave me 8 silkie/cochin eggs to hatch. Got them home and let them rest on the table for a day, then got them into the incubator. I candled them on the 4th day and on the 10th, only 2 were viable. Meanwhile, I thought I had...

    Is my rooster just mean?

    I've got a rooster (4 more but they are kept separated from the rest) and 5 hens. Buddy is a good boy to me and most of the hens. However, there is one hen that he is just straight up mean to!! When he heads in her direction she just lays down and waits for him but when he get near her, he grabs...

    Fingers crossed

    So I had to do a rescue! I've been on this website all day searching for an answer as to whether I should assist this chick or not. She pipped around 10:00 last night. She started to zip around 10:00 this morning but stopped. I watched her all day, but her zip started to look more like...
