Leghorn

Leghorns are great egg laying chickens. They are friendly to other Leghorns and can easily fly. The only problems is that they are bad in the pecking order and they can make a mess of the yard....

Candled my 15 barnyard mix... RIR/EE. Out of fifteen, ten are thriving and growing, one is in question, and four seem to be duds (non fertile). They are on their 10th day, so I will give them until lockdown before I throw any out. The air cells seem to be right on! And the temps and humidity have been staying steady. My fingers are crossed for a better hatch this time around.

And so it begins... the Comptons great adventure into the world of chickens.

Over a 200$ price difference. With a bit of fiddling, the 1588 is great. I feel disconnected from my egg hatching in the rcom (yes, laugh). The 1588 makes me a participant. I have gotten stable temps in it with a piece of bubble wrap draped over the top.

I also love the Brinsea glass thermometer. I think it's the best.

I ordered the 1588 digital with fan. Can the fan be turned off at day 18 or is that a good idea ? Should I maybe order one without a fan for hatching and use the one with fan for incubating ? Thanks for all your patience

It has a different kind of fan, I don't know how, but it's different. More diffuse? But it's fine for hatching.

Just candled, all 5 look good I think. I've never candled before and they are brown and olive eggs. The air cell looked great and there was a dark area in 1/3 of the egg, so I'm assuming they are growing. The 2 brown ones, I could see veins and a dark spot for the eye (I think)!!
They are due March 8th!

we have the same hatch date

I just set 19 of my own girls eggs. Hatch day will be the 16th of March. Should be 6 pure Wyandottes. GLWxGLW or SLWxGLW. My Barnie roo likes to jump on the girls but my GLW doesn't usually allow t so I really have a mystery bunch. The rest will be mixes. GLWxBR, GLWxRIR, BarniexBR, BarniexGLW. Possibly some polishXGLW or BR. Maybe a cochin mix. I haven't identified her eggs but I don't think I have any in there. I think she just started laying and she may be laying my long skinny eggs.
