Hey all, 5 out so far and a ton more eggs pipped. Looks like it's gonna be a great hatch :)

Do you sell eggs for the cemanis?

sweet! did you get a pair from greenfire??

That's such a pain. I always say to go with a good therm/hygrometer so it won't be a hassle in the long run

ugh I hate that. that's why i switched to an incutherm plus i believe its called. its from incubator warehouse. thing is freakin AMAZING

Congrats !!!!!!!!!! :D

Mine are doing well :) do you breed the cemanis too? I've always wanted 1 or 2 but never would pay the price green fire was asking for them

they're one of the best cold hardy breeds you can get:) I would go for it

Fingers crossed for a pullet :fl even if it is a rooster, he'd be a good one to have for the purpose of breeding egg layers

if you have a broody momma with a baby already then thats what I would do. I've heard mixed opinions on staggered hatches so I wouldn't really be the person to ask for that. I always just set my eggs for 1 date. sorry:( I think your eggs will be fine though. i up mine to about 65% when hatching...

:fl nicequality silkies are ALWAYS gorgeous

do you see it moving inside the egg? it sounds like it's a good egg. what day is it on?

Tell me about it. you live and you learn I guess:(

People tend to get really upset when I speak the truth when I visit their yards. I had one guy seem like he wanted to kill me after I called him out on selling sexed silkies at 3 days old from his yard. absolutely ridiculous. and alot of people don't know better!!

Ugh I feel your pain. every breeder I have visited in my area doesn't even have a breeding program, they just put a bunch of hatchery birds together and call themselves breeders it bothers me lol. with the exception of 1 or 2 good breeders I have found. last winter i spent $150 on shipped eggs...

Definitely not a RIR, I guess you could say more like a buff, really laid back and easy going. but you have to remember mine could also only be so docile because the breeder has culled out any meanies. but for the most part I here good things anout welsummers even from hatchery stock welsummers...

Well this is how the hatcheries do it, they wing sex, the boys will have the same size wing pins and and girls different sizes. But in order to do this you have to breed a slow feathering rooster to a fast feathering hen, so hatcheries breeder flocks are all specifically chosen with slow...

Crossing a silver roo over a red girl will give you a red sex link and a red boy over a barred girl will give you a black sex link. it really alldepends on genes, by the colors I am referring to I mean the genes not the actual color of the chicken. 2 really good auto sexing crosses are a...

If they're hatchery stock birds then heck yeah I agree. I would suggest getting a rooster from a real breeder. they tend to cull out mean roos and don't use them for breeding. I have a welsummer roo and 3 pullets from a breeder in PA and so far they are the most docile chickens I've ever had and...

That's a great idea! I think I might just make a savings account with egg money for my 3 yr old nephew :)
