    Sorry for the really really late reply! Yes, I am hoping to get some time this winter to do some updates and finally build the trap nest reversible roll out nest boxes. The coop is split in half down the middle with a flock of Black Australorps on one side and a flock of American White Bresse on...

    Review by 'Chipper Chicken' in article 'Scribe Fit Coop'

    Love this coop, and I always enjoy rereading this article, but I especially appreciate the time spent with clarity documenting the trap nest build.

    HELP!!! Chick has been in the same position for 10 hours

    I had a similar situation with quail recently. Here’s what I did. I used a Qtip with a little mineral oil to moisten the membrane. I had used coconut oil previously on assisting a chick and the other chicks kept pecking at the coconut oil areas on his body. Mineral oil isn’t actually greasy so...

    We are building a coop.... Looking for smart investments, and helpful additions.

    What a fantastic project! I like that flooring, I never knew you could get it 12’ wide and cut to length, that’s great. Since you’re up in a colder climate ventilation is just as important a factor as protection from weather. May I suggest you and your dad look at the Woods style coops? It’s...

    Harris Farms Nurture Right 360 Incubator is AMAZING!

    Absolutely! Theres even a gal on Etsy that sells a 3D printed quail tray . It comes in 3 pieces with instructions and clips to hold while glue dries. I didn’t glue, just used the clips.

    I decided to give it another go. I realized the bad luck trifecta of shipped eggs/damaged air cells, the 7 day power outage and my own inexperience/missteps PROBABLY wouldn’t repeat itself, but I waited to share the progress JUST in case of another crushing failure. So. I have babies hatching...

    Official BYC Poll: What Kind of Roost(s) Do You Have Installed?

    I use 2x2’s wrapped tightly with bicycle inner tubes. I found this study and the accompanying link about this years ago and designed it into my system from the start. I just didn’t need it until now, so it’s only been up since Monday. It also took me several years of occasional searching and...

    Keeping membrane from drying?

    I’ve read that a Saline solution like eye drops has been recommended a couple times, I’m sorry I don’t have any links but you could google it.

    Will A Nurture Right 360 Work For Quail Eggs?

    I just bought a green one from her, there were only 1-2 available per color (4). maybe she is keeping the inventory low until she’s got more feedback. I got green because I wanted to be able to distinguish it from the one I got off eBay.

    Harris Farms Nurture Right 360 Incubator is AMAZING!

    Thank you. Yes it was a relief to get power back. We had just gone to town to get gas/perishable food/propane/water.....it came on a couple hours later. Murphy’s law of course.

    Well I have bad news and good news. None of the eggs hatched. We had snow then freezing rain here which left us without power for a week, starting on day 15. And temperatures dropped into the 20-30’s each night. We alternately ran a generator and/or the inverter in our semi truck with...

    Can a egg hatched once it has a hole?

    So I did a quick search and found this where someone had a similar issue. Besides the antibacterial ointment it said you can also use coconut oil. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/help-chick-hatch-assist-gone-awry.814028/#post-11809945 good luck!

    Can a egg hatched once it has a hole?

    I’m not sure, but over on this thread I’ll post in a minute, several people put medicated ointment (without pain reliever!) on the membrane to keep it alive.
