Maybe I should do fan on during incubation and then turn it off when I turn off the egg turner 3 days before?

They are beautiful!!! I love the contrast of the colors!

I sure hope someone wants them. They do not fit into my breeding program and are needing a new pen real soon.

Hey Guys!

I'm trying to get King Brand food into Rodies in Clayton (a small farm/feed store.) Clayton is by Walnut Creek/Concord. If you live close and would like to see this brand carried, please call Rodies and request it!! I talked to the Kings Brand feed guy yesterday (Hal) and he's going to try to contact them next week to try to get his product to be sold there. If you call and request it, we have a better chance! Here's the info: Rodies Feed & Country Store: 8863 Marsh Creek Rd, Clayton, CA 94517 - (925) 672-4600.

Let's get this done chicken fam!

If anyone is looking for some Polish chicks--

Scotts Valley Feed (in Scotts Valley, CA) has some really cute ones.

Is there anyone in Felton, SV, or Santa Cruz on this thread?

Cheers!

I wish I may... I wish I might-- for all the chicks I hatch to be girls tonight!

Meg, just try and keep the humidity up in there. They hatch pretty well here no matter what incubator I have them in, but they do like some humidity. The only thing I have found out that will REALLY fry them is carrying them around on a motorcycle and not letting the air cells reattach, lol. ( that was a freaked out customer, not me!)
