    Cozychick Incubator vs Govee- Temperature differences

    I am on day 5 and had the same freak out the first 2 days with my chick cozy. It always reads 99.5 and my Govee was different. I calibrated my Govee to the chick cozy and also added an old school glass thermometer. I am trusting those instead of the incubator. My glass is at 100 and my Govee is...

    Humidity fluctuation obsession!!

    Are you taking them in and out regularly to weigh them? I did not weigh them before as I had not heard this info before they went in so it’s too late for that now. However, I thought once they go in you don’t want to be opening it a bunch. What humidity do you run for the incubation period?

    Bought 2 pullets. They are scared! How do I help with stress?

    They are in my 30x40 shop and no one but me is going out there at all. It’s just me and my husband that live here. They are in there because it’s going to be in the 20’s at night and I don’t have another coop far enough from my current flock to properly quarantine.

    Bought 2 pullets. They are scared! How do I help with stress?

    So I purchased two 18 week old pullets from the feed store today. They are in quarantine in a cage in my shop and have not moved an inch since it put them in there about 4 hrs ago. It’s like when a hawk flys over and everyone freezes lol. They have food and water that I attempted to show them...

    How do you keep the humidity that low inside when is 90% outside? My roo got frostbite last year at about 18 degrees. I just installed my hygrometer tonight and it’s 74% humidity inside and 86% outside. I have a ridge vent, 2 solar fans and an additional roof vent.

    Did Tractor Supply do me Dirty?

    I had a moment of weakness when I came across a bin of Cinnamon Queens and SLW’s. Never had Cinnamon Queens and they should be sex linked. Are they colored correctly to be female?

    Early chick integration

    @Mrs. K Do you have pics of your Wooly hen and run? That’s sounds intriguing but I’m such a visual person it would help me to see it. How do you attach the wool to the top and what keeps the hens from pecking it all off and eating/pooping on it?
