I have eggs moving about in my incubator but no pip or anything.

I'm from the south and spent time out west and in the Midwest so I've eaten food from just about every area in the US.

snake, crawfish, cat fish, gator, you name it we've tried it and most of it we've enjoyed. "Odd" food is great.

Day 20 is here and the only thing I can think about is fuzzies! !!! 23 chickies waiting to escape their prison and play in the grass. Oh come on chickies! !!

my chickens sure think so!!! Those buggers eat anything.

Nearing the end of the first 24 hours of lockdown! ! Air cells ok temp good humidity at 54%. The last 48 hours of this are the worst! !! I want my fluffy butts!! Happy mothers day to all and congratulations on all the new babies.

LOCKDOWN! !!! All kids were told "touch my incubator and you die!!!" I think I got a little protective. Still have 23 going strong. Woohoo

Today is day 16 and I have removed 18 eggs at this point from the incubator. 7 were duds and 11 were quitters. That leaves me 23 as of now. That's just over 1/2 so if 1/2 of the 23 hatch healthy I'm going to be super excited! !! I have learned a ton from all of you in this thread. Next batch...

some folks are odd for sure. We aren't as large as raising beef or pork yet but our kids have a respect for animal's most kids laugh at.

I have 5 kids ranging from 15 down to 7 and they all are involved in our "homestead " or "self sufficient " life style. Tomorrow as we know today is not a promise so they need to know how to feed their families.

oh!! Where are you located at? I need more lavender orpington babies! !! I have Bob the big orpington boy who is about a year. He has 1 baby by a WL hen. Its cute as can be. I need more lavender in my flock.

she is learning a lot about the circle of life and the fact that some times one must go so another can go on. She even has her own section of my garden , it's 10×5, not huge but for a 9 year old it's a big responsibility. She plans on processing her 3 chickens this fall as well as canning her...

Sweet!! After my daughter's softball game (and post game shower, she's 9 and gets horribly dirty) we will do lockdown. She has been very hands on from the day we bought our first day old chicks. She oddly enough is even ok with the losses we've had on eggs. She said "it's part of life, if they...

Tuesday is due day, so do I put them on lockdown Friday or Saturday? I'm a bit lost. Also with lockdown I remove the turner and leave the eggs alone? Just watch humidity?

she may be big but she is beautiful. I love her color.

my hubby made the mistake of getting me an incubator so now I'm my own chick store.

Everyone asks about breaking a broody. I wanna know how to get these heifers to hatch me some eggs. I want broodies! !!!

I'm not allowed to go to the feed store when it's chick season. I've proven non trustworthy around fowl of any breed.

if you are interested in coming pm me.

I have 38 cooking for May 10th. I'm not entering for the coop, I'm just here to get advice and encouragement from fellow chicken people. I could give a dossier of a story though. My grandfather (81 years young) was one of the original SF guys in the Army. Way back when SF wasn't even a thing...
