All my current chicks are from the bantams I got from artsyrobin last year. I ordered 10 australorp pullets from the local feed store and have 5 muscovy duck eggs in the new incubator with 13 of our guinea eggs. In the old incubator I have 39 guinea eggs that my Mom gave me so we may be swimming...
