Awesome. My husband bought this one for me and after I washed the mat in dawn dish soap and white vinegar it smelled like regular rubber no issues. This is my first time incubating but I put 9 of my own chicken eggs in (I was fairly certain they were fertilized, could have been wrong we have 1...

Any luck with that hatch?

I’m so glad I found this!!! My porcelain d’unccles started laying 2 months ago around 5 months old and my Mille fleur has not! She’s getting more red but her comb is still small. First time with d’unccles. The 2 porcelain ones are bullies and the smallest in the flock.

Mine hasn’t started laying (any day/week now) but she is very skittish like my Rhode Island Red. Otherwise sweet when you can catch her!

It’s been so hot where I’m at I noticed my RIR didn’t start laying until she was 22 weeks and 2 of my 3 d’unccles just started at 24 weeks.

Thanks! It ended up working perfectly! The youngest ones are finally bigger than the bantam hens so they only have to worry about our feisty RIR.

I keep looking and I can’t find a really good answer for how to integrate when I have 10 week old chicks (3 bantams hens 2 bantam Roos and 1 RIR standard) with 5 week old chicks ( 1 bantam and 3 standards). I had planned to just elevate the open bottom brooder box I’ve had in the run for the...

That’s what I’m thinking. Of course around here we will be having severe storms for the next week and a half 🤦🏻‍♀️.

my current flock mainly consists of 5 bantams and 1 standard chicken (RIR) around 12 weeks old. I wanted to add a few more so I currently have 3 standard chicks (1 easter egger, 1 legbar, and 1 Cochin) and 1 bantam Cochin. They are 2 weeks old. I wanted to go ahead and start introducing them...

My OEGB isn’t terribly loud but he will crow anytime I come by if I’m not talking to him.

Ended up being a OEGB too. He’s hysterical when he crows

Thanks! They didn’t get the vaccine.

I’ve got 6 week old chicks. I had them on medicated originally but switched them nutrena chick starter unmedicated. I sent my husband out to get more and he said he could only find the medicated? And of course it’s a 50lb bag. Is that a problem? Side note we have more chicks hatching at the end...

Still early but based on the feathers I think I have one pullet and one roo. #1 #2

4 week bantams too early maybe but I’ve got some contenders! New to bantams and chicks in the grand scheme. #1 very submissive and will shy away rarely stands to full height. (Thinking roo) #2 sweet but skiddish. Also does a lot of crouching down and running in the other direction. First one...
