    10 hens or 10 roosters? :-)

    Thanks so much for all your inputs - really appreciate it! One last, maybe dumb question, I know the eggs I received came from Wyandottes of mixed colors Could it be that the pullet all agree on is from a different color/pattern variant than the others? Or are they definitely cockerels even...

    Hi - it is a bit tricky as you will need a streaming server. There are some different options available on the Internet. On the hardware I use a Vivotek IP cam. cheers

    Is anyone using the Premier "heat plate" brooder for chicks?

    Based in Denmark - it was an optional extra purchase (in USD something like 15 or 20 if I remember correctly). Quite nice as it is really easy to adjust the heat. For the first couple of weeks I don't use it as raising the plate will do the same basically but then you can start reducing heat...

    Will a day 18 cracked egg hatch??

    Oh no - I dropped one of my eggs when I removed the cradle on day 18... It looks like the membrane didn't break - but will the little chick survive or did I kill it?? Take a look: rgds Michael
