This morning as I looked down the farm I saw a bunch of the free range males in the shade on the west side of the barns. As the sun got higher and the shade...
Hi Julie, I just wanted to see if mine would post. My email has been acting up a bit. I'm a wreck. I can't keep the humidity up in the hatching incubator...

Darlene, Being able to keep calm with the peas is from 40 years of experience. I too have worried, fretted and cried over them. Even now I have times that I...
Darlene, I have had them take 12 hours to pip after hearing peeps. Since you posted 4 hours ago I bet they already have! Be patient. If you help you will more...
I want to thank you all for your replies. I'm a mess, LOL!! I don't know how many times I counted on the calendar the 28 day for incubation so I wouldn't...
All the peeping I was hearing had been going on too long so we decided we better check the exhaust fan vent just about my head in the guest bathroom where the...
I can now hear a chick in one of the 4 eggs. Makes me feel so helpless for it to be peeping inside there and knowing all that could go wrong. This has been...
Darlene, We would have lost you as a member if you had a dozen eggs that didn't even pip. They were due today but nothings going on -- not the first hole in...
Hi Iona, see any cracks in those eggs this morning? I've read of chicks hatching out late so I'll be giving mine plenty of time. Tomorrow is 28 days but I...
I think my poor little peachicks are going to die. They can't seem to make it out of the shells. Is there a simple cause that I can correct? I have one lone...

If the chick can't pip out of the shell by itself chances are it is not strong enough to survive. The 70% humidity is good at the end of the incubation to...
