So interesting and thorough! I could see my roosters in your roosters and now it makes more sense. My current three are wonderful but sooner or later I'll wind up with a problem child again and I'll come back to reread parts of this. Excellent!

Excellent info. I'm bookmarking this for the next time someone says they don't know who is or isn't laying. Me personally, I have silkies so don't care who isn't laying, just grateful for who is!

Thank goodness someone shared a link to this so I could be privileged to read it. What an utterly brilliant piece and so professionally written. I will share this with anyone who does not understand chicken math as this is undisputable proof! Well done!

Thank you, Becky, for sharing your story and the wisdom you gained. I do not have Marek's here that I'm aware of, but know those who do and wanted to learn more about it. I may face it someday and now will be a little bit more educated about it, but regardless, I wanted to know more to be able to be understanding with those I know who do have it. Thank you!

This was so educational to learn that it's probably not just luck of the draw why some chickens absolutely adore me and others see me and run like I've got the plague.

Good topic but some things aren't specified enough yet pushed. Most essential oils in any form are generally not for ingestion by humans, much less by chickens. The brand linked I know has some for ingestion by humans. Maybe in other countries, it's different though.

See the comments below as well as I like the topic, it just needs to cover other forms of oregano oil and more of its benefits.

Thank you for the article and great pictures!!

I came upon this old article when looking to help someone who asked, understand genetics. Not much should have changed really, as I read it and find it very informative. I shared it with them. Thank you!

I was researching avian flu as it's hitting our state. Since I was in BYC I searched here first and found your article. Even though it's several years old, I found it informative and it educated me quite a bit. Thank you!

It's a great method I've heard before but never tried it as I never saw it before. Great photos! Especially the one done who looks a bit mad.

I have heard people who tried having issues with them falling off though but your explanation to make it fit better would help them had they read this. I have hatched 100s and wound up with two w/ splayed legs thus far and cut a thin strip of vet wrap which did the trick. It's good to have different methods though as every chick can be a new challenge! I'll try yours next time to see!

Very informative! I see this product recommended frequently but when someone posted a question, I wanted to look this up on BYC and found your article. Thank you!

I read Part II before this one. This is so informative too! Thank you!

Awesome! I don't have a microscope yet but asked Santa for one. Then I needed to know what I was looking for. This is great and explained so well. Thank you!

This is awesome! I just saw a post you replied to with this link while I was searching for one. This nails it! Perfect! Love the step-by-step and photos!

I'm really tired of the myths about medicated feed in general. This is great to see one get debunked. Thank you!

I love this! Someone's asking about Bobwhites so I searched for a good article to help them and found yours. It's awesome to explain everything they need to know.

Thank you for this. We have a member needing help with a prolapsed vent and I've never had a chicken with it so searched for something to help them. This is it! Thank you!

Thanks for sharing this. I see someone's asking about frostbite so I searched for someone else who explains it better than I could. I'll give them link to your article. Thank you!

This is very thorough for anyone considering an NR360. You covered everything well! We owned one for a couple of years, then wanted to go bigger so found a used Brinsea 56 EX and use both of them now.

Your condiment container for the distilled water is ingenious. I have a 2-cup plastic measuring cup I use and often spill.

I may try those plastic clips as I have probably opened the cover at least 100 times and it just never came easy to me.

I lost the red plug...probably a cat found it and batted it somewhere but until it shows up, I cut a piece of hard plastic to cover one side during incubation and both sides during lockdown.

Thanks for the tips and the article. Next time I see anyone asking about this particular incubator, I'll give them the link to your article if nobody else does.

Oh for fun. Thank you!
