As soon as these hatch I have a lady wanting me to do her eggs for spiting. How many chickens can I fit on...

    Yes the duck eggs take a week longer, I don't even own a duck or ever have but the guy ask me if I wanted some eggs so I said why not. I may move the chicken eggs for lock down I do have the option. I have people wanting me to hatch eggs for them because I have the space so I'm trying to figure...

    Is it possible to tell purebred from mixed chicks?

    I may be completely wishful thinking here but for my first incubator experiment I have 24 eggs, the flock they came from was all Buff Orpington & Black Australorp purebred hens & roosters is there any chance to tell pure breed birds at any age? Sorry for the silly questions I'm new to this.

    Incubator Lowering Humidity?

    Thank you. I was planning to leave it alone, originally I had a sponge inside which I removed I'm down to 56% now. I'm using 2 digital gauges I bought have not checked them, outside reading was from the weather channel. I'm all about learning so I maybe asking some silly questions for a bit.

    Mealworms

    I'm newer to chickens but I have been raising mealworms for 5 years. I pretty much toss mine some food and sift out dust maybe once a month if that, they thrive possibly could get more with more dictated care but I'm happy with them. You can also add things to make your mealworms more nutritious...
