    Japanese Bantam Chickens

    ISO Japanese Bantams or their hatching eggs. I am willing to travel a reasonable distance to collect. I’m looking for coloring/markings similar to the attached picture. I live in Southeast Missouri.

    Humidity level in GQF

    I’m having issues keeping the humidity up in my GQF incubator (older model). I have the humidity kit (bucket, tray, and filters) but the humidity rarely raises above 20%, even with 2 filters in the tray. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

    Review by '' on item 'Wyandotte'

    I purchased five Silver Laced Wyandotte pullets for my wife on Mother's Day (even though she doesn't care for chickens). These girls are hardy compared to my other babies which are barnyard mixed. Their coloring is amazing, even as little birds. I will be looking for a rooster to complete my group.

    Duck Eggs

    I have 28 duck eggs in a little giant incubator with auto-turner. Ten of them are due to hatch on 10/23 and the others were put in 6 days ago. 8/10 should go Tuesday, but the two don’t appear to be as developed as the others. Is this common? Also, of the other 18, I have some that appear the...
