    What are some signs my chick is sick?

    I want to know what are normal temps for chicks and what are some signs they are not feeling good? Is it a good idea to mix just a bit of medicated feed with regular feed to be pro active? I just want to be prepared and know about it before it happens so I am not hopeless when it is happening...

    Temperature question mama hen with 3 week old chicks

    I have a mama hen who hatched four chicks three weeks ago. She is currently in a large dog crate in my spare bedroom. I would like to move them into my basement where I can give them a much larger brooder pen since the poor mama is going stir crazy. The temperature in my basement is 55 degrees...

    Room temperature regulation

    I have a Hoverbator 1588. What verified hacks have members used to stabilize ambient room temperature? Placing incubator in wine cooler, box, styrofoam cooler, closet, thermostat controlled space heater in spare room? Other suggestions?

    Are my 8 week old chicks ready for my weather? Screenshot of this week's forecast attached

    First post, forgive me if im doing it wrong☺ I'll let the picture show the weather but this week is as cold as it ever gets where I live. My birds are a barnyard mix that I've raised from 1 day to week 8. There are 8 and they are housed with eleven 9 week old Guinea Fowl. They've been together...

    What temperature do button quails (king quail) need at least?

    I just got them, they are in the house right now, but I want to move them to my aviary which is in a side building. Right now I am keeping about 8°C for my parrots. Is this enough for them?

    Why do my baby chicks die?

    Hello! I had three chicks (buff Orpington) born out of the incubator two weeks ago. They are now in a big tub in the garage with two older chicks (6 weeks old) with a normal lamp close to them to keep them warm. It is not a heat lamp, as I am kinda scared of the fire hazard with these lamps. We...

    Help... the quail eggs are not hatching what do I do

    Day 18 has closed and day 19 just beginning for cotournix quail in a still air incubator. I didn’t buy the 2nd thermometer until lockdown. And then they were 3-5 degrees off. Of course I bought the wrong one and it can’t be calibrated. Since no hatching I am thinking temp was too low. I see no...

    3 day old chick in a leg splint

    So a veterinarian friend of mine dropped off a 3 day old chick with me that she splinted the leg on. She came across it in a feed store and they were going to euthanize it. I'm not exactly sure what is wrong with it. It's eating and drinking and I keep moving it to be near the food and water. It...

    I have tried incubating eggs twice now. The 1st time around I put in 8 eggs of which only 3 were fertile and none survived. Now I have again tried to incubate eggs, I placed 10 eggs in the incubator. I candled 6 days later, all were developing except for one which I then removed. I again candled...

    Where to house chicks first few weeks

    I know this may seem like a basic question, but there are some variables that make it nuanced. I have a coop of 19 guinea fowl and five young chickens. I have getting 15 more baby chicks this week. I have a brooder cage for them I could put in my house, but it makes a HUGE mess in the one room...

    Emergency hatching no incubator

    Long story short, my first time broody abandoned her eggs at around 18-20 days (different egg age by up to few days). I have noted her out and about and not coming back to the nest anymore and not willing to sit despite my efforts. I am a first timer and very spontaneously decided her to let...

    Incubator Issues

    Sorry if this has been asked before, I looked around for a similar thread but couldn't find too much info. My partner bought an "HHD" incubator from a local feed store. We were able to hatch our first batch of silkies with no problems. About a month later the incubator was cleaned out and set...

    Please help!

    Hello! New here. I've been doing plenty of research prior to incubating eggs. I have built a temporary incubator until I make a better one. It's rather small as I'm starting small just to see how it goes. It's a 1.3 gallon bucket with a 29 watt bulb overhead along with a fan, 2...

    Different aged chicks, same brooder

    I found a thread similar, however, the replies for some reason would not load. I got some chicks on the 7th, I’m picking up some chicks on the 13th, and my main batch of chicks will arrive in the end of May/beginning of June. I’m assuming that given the specific temperature needs and the pecking...

    Moving chicks outside.

    My pullets are almost 6 weeks old and getting very restless. Can I move them outside at 6 weeks, even though it is in the 40's outside? I live in Chicago.

    How cold is too cold for the coop?

    For those of us who measure temperatures INSIDE the coop, do you have a "goal minimum temp" for the winter? While many factors influence the necessity of heating a coop (range of outdoor temp, size of flock and coop, breed/health/age of bird, coop insulation etc.), it seems that complicated...

    Remote Temperature Monitoring.

    With winter just around the corner, I was wondering if any of you use a wireless temperature monitoring device in your coop, that you check on your PC, iPad or iPhone. I have a wireless weather station that has a display in my HAM shack, but I would like something cheaper, just to keep an eyes...
