He is all settled in and the two batches merged with not one issue ....

He is the only one with feathered feet ... so super easy to tell him apart.

All of my little ones are settled! The goslings have their own brooder and have settled right in, little cuties. They rode home on my lap since the brooder I brought for them was filled with chicks The chicks all made the journey home fine and are settled too. I am in love with the cochins, they are so poofy and calm.

Baking, congrats! And a good thing too because we forgot to switch the CCL eggs into my egg carton to hatch, lol.

Still working on getting the incubator just right on the temp.  I need to get some Marbles from somewhere as I hear that helps with the temp maintenance.

I wrapped my styro incubator in a couple old towels this winter and found that helped. Just. Around the sides, don't cover the vent holes in top.

A bottle of water and river rocks also work as a good heat sinks, so you can try that if you can't find marbles. And because we were talking about it, here's the thread for the other Chickenstock me and Baking were telling you about: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/948030/2015-new-york-chickenstock

Pyxis, I only found "Gound Cover" rocks at homedepot so That is what I got. I figured that they would work just as well as marbles.

I also Took a photo of he sales table, LOL, guess we had he same idea there. And here is the start of the incubator this morning.


We shale see if this leads to me needing to build more coops or if I decide never to try incubation again due to heart break. Not sure which I hope for.
