    NPIP CERTIFICATION

    I live in Arkansas and would like to shipping eggs within the state. I am not interested in shipping out of state. I'd love to become NPIP certified but until I get the money I can't. Anyway, can I ship eggs within the state of AR without an NPIP license? I've scoured the internet and nothing...

    LITTLE GIANT INCUBATOR TIPS

    I have used an LG Still-Air Incubator for the past two years, and I've always gotten good hatch rates, but this year most of mine are dying early in the egg. I keep the humidity between 45%-50% and have been keeping the temp at 101*-102* Unfortunately, the incubator has a tendency to spike...

    WHICH IS WRONG AND WHICH IS RIGHT?

    I have a Little Giant still-air incubator and an older still-air incubator (don't know brand or model) that I use to incubate. I purchased a new thermometer (glass incubator thermometer) and put it in the LG with my other thermometer (which I have found very accurate) and calibrated. The newer...

    Partridge Silkie Chick?

    I bred a Black Silkie rooster (first picture) to a Splash Silkie hen (second picture) and knew I was supposed to get a Blue Silkie. Instead, I got one that looks like the last picture except darker, which makes me think it came out as a Partridge? Or is it going to change colors as it gets...

    HOW LONG CAN YOU STORE EGGS BEFORE NEEDING TO BE PUT IN THE INCUBATOR?

    I've been wanting to collect a week's worth of eggs and put them in the incubator all at the same time so my chicks will be hatching around the same time. Unfortunately, that means some eggs will be stored for about seven days before being put in the incubator. How long can eggs be stored before...

    TURN EGGS BEFORE PUTTING THEM IN INCUBATOR?

    I've been in 4H for several years, and when I first got into chickens one of the colleges that breeds/raises chickens would donate hatching eggs to the 4H kids. Well, last year was the last year they did that, so this year the kids have been disappointed, as they always show the chicks that...

    ANTIBACTERIAL EGG WASH

    I don't test my flocks for diseases that can be passed from hen to egg, so if my chickens have an underlying disease that I am unaware of I could easily be passing it to anybody who wants to get hatching eggs from. They do know that I don't test but I would feel horrible if they got chicks that...

    HOOP CHICKEN PEN

    I don't know about anybody else, but we never seem to have enough pens to hold all of the chickens we want. I have several nice pens but sometimes (like right now!) we just need to throw something together that will keep the chickens in and the predators out. I recently saw an FB post about...
