    Having a problem with the forum

    When I get those, which actually have slowed down quite a bit, I hit the Exit page. You'll get "Oh Snap..." If you hit to reload, the page you were on is reloaded immediately at that point. Like @notabitail mentioned above, there's a large thread about this and similar issues, and it's...

    What's the temperature where you are???

    85°F, partly cloudy, breezy, and still a bit hazy. Air quality index improved to 87. Humidity is down to 60% giving us a break.

    Hello Y’all I’m new here

    Hiya, Barbiie, and welcome to BYC! :frow Roosters are pretty easy to come by if you ever decide you want to let them have chicks. :) We're glad you're here!

    Hiya, and welcome to BYC! :frow We have a yard full of about 8 roosters, but that's just roosters out there. I can't even release the hens from breeding pens if I wanted to, as they'd get mauled. But the good thing is, without hens, they all get along pretty well. Most keep to themselves...

    New! (for the third time.)

    Hiya, and welcome to BYC! :frow I usually take my little ones outside for an hour, their first couple of days out, just to get them used to it. Today (80F) was perfect for them, and they were having so much fun, I just left them (four-week-old silkies). They are in a pen with a rooster and...

    What's the temperature where you are???

    67F now. Was a high of 80 and a hazy but sunny day! Still under the "Unsafe Air Quality" warning and at 156. 50 or less is good.

    What's the temperature where you are???

    I should have gotten a picture of it but we were in a big haze today (smoke). We both wore masks going outside. Thanks to Covid, we have whatever the good ones are we got from our state.

    Layer feed or all flocks for non-mixed flock?

    Couldn’t you try the Kalmbachs Flock Maker I linked above? That’s more like a typical all flock, higher protein (20%) lower calcium. We buy the crumbles in 50# bags.

    Is hatched chick ok? Prolapse?

    Usually when they hatch, they are free from the shell and kick out of it. Some like this had a bit more to absorb, and it will. You’ll see it “chewing”. That’s it absorbing the remains. It may take a few hours. After that it will start moving around. The “umbilical cord” should dry and...

    I intervened too soon and now scared the chicks won’t make it.

    I’m so glad to hear he and another hatched! They are so cute! :love With these shipped eggs that get saddled, meaning they are not situated correctly in the egg, some hatch fine. I just mark any like that with a pencil at lockdown. I wait until the rest hatch, and if these don't pip within a...

    Questions about lockdown

    I always put my eggs in lockdown five days out. Like @Ridgerunner said, they've already gotten the benefit of the first two weeks of rotation. These are silkies, and I've had some early pips, so I don't take chances. On Day 16, they're moved to the hatcher, where the humidity is 70% and...
