    Barred Rock rooster x black australorp

    Since the offspring of a BR X BA would be barred, what if you bred the barred offspring with each other? Would their offspring be barred as well?

    Valentine's Day 1st Annual Hatch Along

    So I candled on Day 3&4 (only bc I couldn't resist!!) all seemed to have a growing air cell. I candled again today (day 7). 3 have veins, 2 I can't see anything (one of these was set later on Tuesday, which was Day 3 for the rest) the other two seem to have good air cells, but they may be blood...

    Valentine's Day 1st Annual Hatch Along

    Ok. I couldn't stand it any longer. I candled to find that 4 of the 5 set on Saturday all have a dark mass at the top of the eggs (the big end) the 5th egg just looks really dark, I can't see anything. The other 2 eggs of the total 7 eggs set I can't see anything bc one was set yesterday& one...

    I added another today. Couldn't help myself lol that makes for a total of 7. Hopefully I'll have a 100% hatch rate. We can always hope for the best as long as we are prepared for the worst.

    Valentine's Day 1st Annual Hatch Along

    It's great to see all the different breeds that people are setting!! I added 1 more egg today for a total of 6. I believe they were all layed by buff orpingtons, with the exception of one, maybe two being laid by a RIR. On an unrelated note, I got a HUMUNGOUS egg from my one of my blue...

    Also, anyone have an idea of how to check humidity other than a hygrometer? (I think that's the right -meter) I'm kinda worried it may be too dry in my room as I'm downstairs& have gas heat. Sometimes when I wake up my lips will be almost dried together!! I have a humidifier tho& it will be on...

    Valentine's Day 1st Annual Hatch Along

    Well, today is the day for those setting duck eggs. Be sure to set as many as your bator will handle. Unfortunately I personally won't be setting any duck eggs as I had originally planned. I had to have my tonsils removed Monday. They were very enlarged and was causing me to have sleeping...
