Was that in the 360 or a different incubator?

I have a Nuture right 360 and use the dry hatch method. I have a specific hen I want to hatch as many eggs as possible from right away. She's the only one I have in her coloring, personality and breed that is still laying. Unfortunately her sister is no longer laying and I am afraid she will...

Thank you!

I see no one is recommending application to young chicks. What about 8 weekers and 4 month olds? I've seen lice in the other coops, since they're all connected via walls. The rodents surely are carrying the lice back and forth. I'm working on the rodent problem too...but can I spray or dust...

I have not noticed a difference with the inner circle. I, too, have 22 eggs in mine right now and all of my inner circle are growing except 1. On the outside I have 10 not growing.

I know the brooder plate is large, but I'm not comfortable leaving for an overnight trip with a heating lamp plugged in and no one here. It's starter feed so it's crumbles, yes they've been eating it and making a mess as all chicks do :) Everyone is eating, drinking and pooping🤣

Thank you so much!

Thanks so much!

Thanks! They'll have a ridiculous amount of room outside, and the sooner they go out, the better for them IMO. This isn't my first time with chicks or chickens, just the first time having to go out of town, RIGHT after a hatch. The timing is terrible :( We have 2 large 10 x 10 coops with large...

It's 50 gal so, 39-3/4 in. x 21-1/2 in. x 17-7/8. This is only used for their first 4 weeks or little less, depending on behaviors/growth. I have a 2nd 50 gal bin that I have sometimes moved other chicks to before I can put them in the outdoor brooder box which is huge. I'm in Florida with...

It may look small but it's a 200 qt bin, I've never had issues before?

Ah, I have one of those in my shed...but it's probably too darn big to fit into this set up. I'll try and see though. Thanks so much! Helped me envision what you were talking about. :)

Oooo love that! Thank you!

Thanks! Could you show me an example of one? I'm all about saving money!

Yes! I did this and kept that thermometer inside with the eggs the entire time.

I have the same incubator and just hatched 8 chicks this week with it. The room I had it in stayed around 65-70 and the incubator had no issues keeping the correct temperature. I had an external thermometer and an internal one to make sure. I used a separate very bright led flashlight to...

My 8 chicks will be 4 and 5 days old on Friday and unfortunately, I have to go out of town for that night. I need to leave Friday morning and I'll return Saturday afternoon. Do you have any tips or suggestions since I'll have no one here to check on them? I'll clean and replace all food, water...

Hoping for the best with the chick and leg issue. Fantastic news about your other chicks!
