    HELP! Chick thinks I’m it’s mom

    I have a bunch of chicks right now in different stages/ages all over the place, I think I may have to do this but my partner may question my sanity at that point considering everything we have going on. I thought about taking one from the ones my broody hen hatched a week ago but she is such a...

    HELP! Chick thinks I’m it’s mom

    Ok so maybe this sounds crazy but I swear this chick thinks I’m is mommy! I’ve incubated lots of chicks before and this is a first for me. I had incubated 6 eggs and unfortunately out of all 6 I only had 1 make it. I had to assist this one in hatching and the moment it was out of the shell it’s...

    Breed and sex help please!

    1,4,5,6 in my opinion like like cockerels. Mostly Due to their hackles, but their combs as well And the color of the Wyandotte I think 1) golden laced cockerel. Indicators for me are the hackles, color, and defined comb 2. Easter egger-pullet 3. Easter egger (looks similar to a cinnamon queen...

    Please tell me I got some pullets?

    The mysterious duck eggs

    Nope. I haven’t had any recent eggs since my last post though. And I recently got three female Cayugas who are now in lock down inside the duck run/coop so nothing is able to get in there either. One thought/question I had was if it were possible my mallards were stealing them from somewhere...

    Cracked duck egg

    Just an update. This duckling made it all the way and just never pipped and hatched so unfortunately it didn’t make it. I ended up ordering three female Cayuga that ducklings and they are doing great 😊

    Topic of the Week - Incubating eggs

    In my experience that humidity range has worked great for me. I’ve incubated chicks at 70% the whole incubation period due to a difficult incubator, and saw a much lower success rate at that high of humidity as opposed to the 50-55% range. You definitely want to get it to to the 70-75% range...

    Topic of the Week - Incubating eggs

    Warning to all. Do not buy the “Devopet” incubator. Its fans are. Mounted right under the lid with very little head space so I’ve have two chicks so far, right after hatching, stick their little foot up into the fan and dang near cut their toes off on the fan blades. Horrible design. Their...

    Topic of the Week - Hatching Eggs

    Is she laying on the egg or have you pulled it inside? You have to candel the egg with a small light and you’ll be able to see fetal development in about a week if she is laying on the egg or incubating inside
