Any word on the little runner girl?

As usual, I haven't said much in a while, but I've been keeping up some. I think it's time to see if I can hatch some eggs--have never tried. I'm going to start learning about home incubators and such, but, who knows when a good time to do it is? (weather-wise) And how many should I try? We've got 10 chickens and one roo, and I'm afraid if I introduce too few they'll get picked on (that has happened before).
Sorry for the change of subject.

I asked DH today if he'd help me make an incubator and he was actually pretty excited about it.
Many people have already started to incubate, some do it year round. The problem that many of us in CO face is with the humidity since it's so dry here. Good luck!

Yep- just finished a batch of eggs and lost 1/2 to the air cells being too large (lack of humidity) even tho the bator said 40-60% the first 18 days and then 80% the last three. The chicks that did make it needed help getting out because the shells would dry and stick to them before they could get all the way out. I would definitely keep it steady at 80% the whole way through next time out here.

Newbie here.
I'm in Loveland and I was under the impression the hens were allowed as long as you don't have too many and your neighbors don't raise a stink. This is based on what I read in the City of Loveland Municipal Code sections 6.28.010 and 6.28.020. Does anyone know what is enforced? I've just convinced my husband to let us have some.
Anyone have info?

Hi Chirpy! Long time no chat. I called my hens 'chickens' again.
Anyone have any idea what would happen if my roo (a--I think--bantaam Houdan) gets with the hens? (Golden sex links, Ameracaunas--don't know how to spell it). It could be downright scary.
