I was in the middle of a hatch with my brinsea mini adv when it started going whacky with the read-out and the temp was running up and down like crazy. It finally quit working all together . I loved using this incubator so much I put the eggs into the brooder to hold them over while I made...

Its the first egg to pip out of this current batch, and I'm on day 2 of the countdown timer for the brinsea mini (hate that it counts DOWN!) so I suppose i'm on day 20..or would that be 19..(see why I hate it!) Anyway, this lil one has decided to pip early, and at the wrong end. I've heard it...

I finally processed my extra roos. I knew this day was coming because I made the deal with myself when I decided I would hatch out eggs. Some were gonna be roos and even tho I live in the country....why on earth would I feed all those extra mouths! (my philosophy) And I was over at my...

The reason I ask is because I got my first egg from my hen But it was kinda tiny. A friend gave me a hen, rooster and three pullets. She said the hen was laying (she had alot of laying hens), but in the three weeks since she's come home, nada. I was under the impression that just new...
