It's about 2 weeks old now. I'm hoping for White Leghorns. Thanks.

Thank you! I am a Cochin man, but I'm trying to branch out a little.

Can someone critique these birds for me? I just bought these last week and I know nothing about d'anvers, but I would like to breed them and start showing them. I can take more pictures if needed, thanks.

Well, I finally got to the 4-5 month period to start selecting and culling. Here are some so far. Blue pullet, lacing a little dark and a little varying in shades, but glad to see any lacing. Another one with lacing a little lighter Some beige showing right now. Really good...

Question about the Octogon20 advance. -After day 18, do the eggs stay in the same position or do you lay them down? If you don't buy the humidity pump, by what means do you control humidity? About what is the cost? Thanks!

Wet bulb /dry bulb thermometer, folks. Eliminates all the errors and guesswork. http://lyonusa.com/html/incubation_html/thermometers2.html

Time for a wetbulb/drybulb thermometer. Most electronic hygrometers are just made too cheap to be accurate.

50% is not that bad, so I don't think you killed anything. As a rough guideline, humidity shoud be 40-50% for 18 days then about 75% therafter. I live in a very humid location, so I dont use any water till day 18.

Can't beat a wet bulb/dry bulb thermometer. It takes all of the electronic problems out of the equation.

If so, are white rocks and red sex-links good layers? Does rock mean plymouth rocks?

By the way, the white one is real solid. I was hoping these were white leghorns, but they may be rocks.

Got them at tractor supply yesterday -
