    How old do you think these RIR chicks are?

    Roughly how old will they be when this occurs?

    How old do you think these RIR chicks are?

    Hey y'all! Just picked up some RIR straight run chicks at the Tractor Supply. I wanted to feather sex them, but it looks like they have all already developed the feathers on their wings. Outside of vent sexing, is there anything else I can do to get a guess as to the sex of the chicks? Thanks...

    Ameraucana Cross..... Ameraucana?

    Hey all! Got a question about genetics here. Hopefully I'm in the right forum location. If you cross a silver Ameraucana roo, with a splash Ameraucana hen, based on my understanding, you would get an EE? Is that correct? I'm not an expert with chicken genetics, lol. But my research has said...

    What breed of rooster?

    How does the egg production of a Buckeye compare to a RIR? Not worried about the Cold hardiness, as I live in the south.

    What breed of rooster?

    After looking up pictures of New Hampshires, it would seem as if you are right. Its just so frustrating. If you look up pics of RR Roosters, you get both ends of the spectrum: Dark Red feathers, and Rust feathers. Assuming that it is a New Hampshire Rooster, then my next question would be...

    What breed of rooster?

    Got a point there. Her husband got them from Tractor Supply.

    What breed of rooster?

    That's what I thought, then I looked it up. I don't automatically believe everything I read online, so that's why I'm here. Here is a pic of a place I read online about rose combed RR's.

    What breed of rooster?

    Hey y'all! Someone near me is offering two roosters for free. Specifically, I am wanting a Rhode Island Red Roo for breeding purposes. She doesn't know what the breeds are. Looked at pictures online, and it would seem as if a RR rooster can have a few different looks. I would think the darker...

    What's happening to the eggs?

    If the egg was eaten, there is a way to fix that. I wouldn't do it while you have a broody hen, but when she is finished being broody and the chicks are older. You can take a few eggs, and WIPE THEM CLEAN. Take a tack, and poke a hole without cracking the egg at the top of the egg, and the...

    Temp at 99 - 100, but the eggs dont feel warm?

    Sorry for the late reply, yesterday was busy. Man, that incubator looks legit! Makes mine look like crap, lol. You need to post a video tutorial on how to make that! So how does it work? Does the thermostat kick the fan on when it gets to a certain temperature, and does it turn off when it...

    Temp at 99 - 100, but the eggs dont feel warm?

    Will do! I guess Im also going to have to raise the metal net I have to fit a bowl at the bottom as well. How would I add a digital thermostat? Is there a video or some guide I could read to set one up? Most of the DIY incubators I saw on youtube only had a thermometer, and not a thermostat.

    So this is what I have. I'll place it in the center of the clutch when I get home tonight. (This was taken a few hours ago. Humidity is probably down)

    Temp at 99 - 100, but the eggs dont feel warm?

    Thats what I'm planning on now. Thanks! I actually already have holes on both sides. I'm either going to get a bigger box, or a lower wattage bulb. The holes I made on either side were not sufficient to decrease the temperature.
