    A bit about me and my new found love for chickens

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Yes, my in-laws have had chickens for 3 years or so. It's always been a relatively small flock of birds,maybe 4 or 5 at the most, however I was TERRIFIED of the darn things just scared silly. I couldn't even get in the house because...

    First timer here! How do I know if I have adequate ventilation?

    Hey there! I am incubating eggs for the first time, and I am really worried the eggs don't have enough air (big overthinker here LOL) My incubator is from Amazon and inexpensive (I bought it before I realised how important a good one is) and it came with only one 6mm vent above the fan which...

    Giving Turkey poults to broody mother?

    I have been incubating my hens fertile eggs since July 1st. The eggs range from day 5-day 27. I would’ve loved her to raise them, except that she wasn’t Broody. But all of a sudden she’s gone fully broody, barely ever leaves her box, Poofed up, stopped laying. Definitely broody. Now I’m unsure...

    Any Interest?

    Hey everyone! I wanted to gauge interest in a few things I would love to write about. I have a slow-paced job, so I have some time to really deep dive into some topics. I know some have already been written about, but it never hurts to have different perspectives. Please let me know if you guys...

    challenging spring and summer

    I've had an unusually challenging spring and summer hatching chickens out. My egg collectors were refrigerating the eggs in the beginning and not placing them correctly for incubation 😭 We've had horrible power surges and brownouts all year, especially during critical times like lockdown and...

    HELP! I assisted a duckling before internal pipping!

    Hello! I have been incubating duck eggs for the first time. I placed 6 eggs in the incubator, 4 were fertilized and 2 were not, and then later one of the 4 died, so I am currently left with three eggs. Yesterday was day 28, and all the eggs still didn't do internal pipping yet. I also realized...

    Help? Raising a NightHawk, I need all the help I can get!!

    Hello. My dad brought me two nighthawk eggs his work rescued and asked me to incubate them and raise them. I understand our laws and limitations in Tennessee, and if things get bad while raising these I know people I can hand them off to, though I’m reluctant to do so. I need to get them in the...

    Air sacs different sizes duck eggs day 23?

    I am concerned with why the air sacs in my call duck eggs are different sizes. We are on day 23 and 2 of them have nice big air sacs (I can actually see one seems to be trying to push through the air sac to make an internal pip). The other 5 eggs air sacs are quite small still and I don’t...

    Owls 🦉 How to Deter

    We've lived in Arizona for 30 years. In 2012 our friend and neighbor Lou passed. He would put rocks up on the top columns of his patio for doves to nest. Doves are horrible nest builders and often their eggs roll out of their flimsy built nest. The neighbor who bought his home had no interest...

    How long for a full nest to hatch?

    My Indian Runner has been on 3 eggs, all were viable, I have seen all the signs when candling. The first hatched yesterday but there is no sign of the other two hatching. How long should I leave it before removing the eggs? Thanks for your help and advice

    Still in incubator. Lethargic and splayed leg

    One of my silkies hatched but it has splay leg and seems lethargic. It has been in the incubator for 24 hrs now. I used vet wrap to make a splint for its legs but it still hasn’t walked. I tried sugar water and it seems to perk up for a second then lays back down. The other chicks went to a...

    Hatching shipped eggs, some with bad air cells.

    Well I'm ~5-6 days away from welcoming new chicks to the world for the first time. I've always wanted to hatch eggs and finally after slowly getting the family warmed up to the idea of keeping chicken for two years it's happening! I think the main trigger was when some trashy person dumped a...

    Easiest to clean incubator models?

    Hello all, I am a hobby breeder of silkies who has been on hiatus until this year. I've been letting my girls do all the hatching for a while, but I'm ready to get back into it. I'm looking to buy a new incubator, because I really struggle to clean the ones I have. Currently I have an...

    When to start lockdown for eggs that started incubating on three different days?

    Hey all! I have some eggs in an incubator that started incubation with a broody, and we're given to her over three consecutive days. i.e. 12th 13th and 14th February. When should these eggs be put into lock down? On the 18th day for the earliest ones, or for the latest ones? So should they go...
