Since we are talking or were talking about candling, do most of you candle from the top? I've been just candling the eggs from the top while they are sitting in the trays. It is fast an effective. I only pick up the ones that I'm not sure of. I used to use a high lumin LED flashlight but I...
I am glad that you found the CCL chicks. I have 2 three yr. old CCL who are very sweet birds. Your cockerel is quite handsome! I love them at that age when they start to look like as if walking on stilts, and feet too big to move gracefully. Lual

Thank you Lisa! I am in love with these beautiful, sweet, intelligent birds. Today, I gave them watermelon which they ran to it, without hesitation started to eat it. Now they are walking aroun with wet, pink watermelon faces with a big grin. I remember, last year with my first group of chicks...
