    Sorry but I'm looking to restart my flock with true Welsh. I have a flock of 4. But my Drake passed away suddenly. The had 2 of my 3 ducks stolen late one night a few weeks ago. But thanks with the offer.

    Trying out a new sensor for humidity and temperature fluctuations during haching eggs. (Govee sensor)

    Eggs hatch out. Here's the 21 days of incubation chart . Had 20 hach with the Farm inavotor incubator. Two where not fertile, 3 gave up by day 10. So had 66% hatch rate in the F.I incubator. My Delaware hen gave up about 3 weeks in. So those eggs didn't hatch. Over all the Govee works pretty...

    I trust the spot check from Brisnea. Most of my eggs will hach at 21-22 days if I'm able to keep temperature at 95 average. With me using the Govee I'm able to get a daily, weekly average. I'm trying to keep my farm inavotor at 99.5 and humidity at 35%. But as with most Styrofoam incubators it...

    I'm sure you could place it on top of something in order to get it higher and place it in the center of your incubator if need be.

    DIY Incubator Question

    Cool. Glad things worked out for you. Not a better feeling than seeing something you've made work out so well. Good luck with your birds 🐦

    How should I provide ventilation in our new DYI incubator?

    Nice job. Can't see why it shouldn't work. Ventilation is probably just a guessing game. So keep us posted on what works. I haven't found anything on how to calculate a fresh air exchange rate. I'm thinking of building me a new one out of wood as well. But going to try and keep it a bit bigger...

I also have 5 chicks my brown legghorn hatched out 3 weeks ago that are still with her now. Now the problem is now that's going to get cold over the next few days (high in mid...

    Welsh Harlequin

    They all look like sliver to me. Notice the blue on their wings. Also they are still quite young. I noticed their legs are not right yet either. But that could be the lighting. Drake legs should be turning orange. And ducks should be dark gray. Again give them time they will turn into some...

    Cochin Thread!!!

    My wife saw this fuzzy little yellow and blue chick in Atwood about 3 months ago. I was going to give the little guy time to mature some before finding out the breed. Best I can tell it's a cochin but not sure if it's a self blue or a lighter color standard "blue" cochin. He seems to be to...
