LOL!! What kind of trouble will that get you in with your family????
 
If you're talking rounded eggs vs. pointy eggs, there is a theory circulating that round eggs produce mostly females. I plan on testing it next time I hatch
I set very round BR eggs that I helped pick out the first time, and I got 9 roos and 6 pullets. I don't believe this theory. Perhaps someone got lucky a time or two and got more pullets and started that rumor, but that'll always be the case. There's no scientific evidence to back the claim that round is more likely to hatch pullets...
 
@Sally Sunshine
yes I would check the Thermostat First, the one you linked to originally.

Just use a multimeter and touch both contacts, basically if you get numbers then it goes to 0, it's got continuity/Not open circuit.
When testing be sure wires are disconnected.
You can check for power if ya feelin frisky, while in the heat dry mode.
Then you can try thermistor.

You are really just ruling these out as often if the heater burns out, it takes the board/control with it.
Most likely needs a board as well, but I can't say for sure without being there.


If there is no power between the Blue/Red wire on the heater to the Blue/White on the heater thermostat you need the control board. I suspect the relay blew out when the heater shorted out.

There is only Power from the relay/control(On the board itself) to the thermostat, then the heater.
Nothing else except wires in between.
(although the board takes info from the turbidity sensor to determine WHEN to give power)
 
Really, its got holes big enough for a raccoon to get in where the roof meets the walls!

I got nooo trouble with ventilation in my coop.

Its on my to-do though and does have a tarp mostly covering it
You're on thin ice, Dear. Better be plugging those holes PDQ! It's scary how quick a family of coons can wipe out a flock of chickens. A roll of 1/4" hardware cloth from Lowes will solve that problem quick. Just don't ask a clerk where it is; the clerks in our store never heard of it...they just sell it!
