How do y'all mark your chicks to keep them separate? I've got a pair of svart honas, then 7 chicks from a different breeder. And I'm planning a hatch. I need to make sure the babies don't get mixed up.

I tried the rainbow loom bands last year, but they fell off in the brooder. That was a mess.

J&TRanch 1/12/16 12 self blue Cochin bantams (shipped) day 3 (going to candle today to see how many are viable).... And 18 eggs arriving in the mail tomorrow @J&Tranch My shipped self blue bantam Cochins are doing good. I had to throw out a stinker and a seeper

So out of those 10 remaining, 7 are developing nicely

They're on day 7. I ended up receiving 16 shipped from GA, they looked good considering the single digit temps- only 3 saddles and none cracked. They're on day 3 today, will candle Wednesday maybe.
Saris My hatch is done 6 DIS 24 chicks outonly had to help one out of the shell when it got stuck zipping. Hooray!
TJ Believe it or not, there are two developing from this mess! I had to wash them in hot water to get all the slime off and they have saddle cells, but I'm giving them the best chance I can. Probably won't ever turn them. So, the new batch was packed a bit better and nothing was broken, but out of 8 eggs, 4 are saddle cells and 4 are completely rolling. Set them all anyways
Casportsponyday 34 for the Muscovy eggs and it looks like I have one external pip, two internals. One of the eggs have a huge "bruise" at the bottom of the shell, so I doubt it's still alive.
LocalYokel akak JACK LOKO Over 20 quail hatched this monin Got 5 or 6 other chicks between the bantam ee and the serama @LocalYokel final hatch update? and set news?

Hawk12 have 7 blue/gold partridge brahma chicks in the incubator on day 15. Candled last night and things look pretty good. Air cells might be a little small. I lost 5 from this hatch due to a temp spike on day 3

I emailed the gal I bought them from to let her know my progress and she sent me a dozen more for the cost of shipping. That was very sweet of her to do knowing it wasn't her fault or even the PO but my faulty incubator. I'll be setting those eggs tomorrowDay 15, 7 eggs.

How did you get into making stained glass? You go to school to learn it? Apprentice with an artisan? Self-taught?  Sounds like anything but boring!

Will you be able to feed them properly? 40 mature Muscovy ducks will eat a lot of food! They will also need a niacin supplement if you feed them chick starter.
