    Hatching fail- but why?

    The incubator itself doesn’t have the meters attached the ones I am using are separate. I am going to calibrate them and see if they are effective. I know this is trial and error and I am grateful for your experience.

    Hatching fail- but why?

    That’s really good to know. I got the incubator from my grandfather he bought it back in 2014 he used it maybe 5 times total. I use 2 different thermometers in there. A digital and a dial. The digital is a humidity thermometer and it has a temp reader on it. I have been reading from the dial...

    Hatching fail- but why?

    Thank you so much! I have a few different breeds of hens. Ayam Cemani, Black Australorps, lavender and buff orpingtons, rir, barred Rocks, a leghorn, a few backyard mixes-Easter Eggers, and a white crested black polish.

    EE roo or pullet?

    He is a really good rooster. We’ve got a huge hawk problem this year and he spends his whole day pacing around the flock.

    Breed and Gender?

    They came from TSC so I checked on their website to see what breeds they sell but I couldn’t find anything like them. They are the same size as my 9-10 week old buff orpington pullets but they have really brood chest and big feet

    Breed and Gender?

    Hello everyone I have been gifted 3 really cute chickens, the previous owner says they are 14 weeks and that they are cockerels, they are not experience with chickens. They didn’t know the breed of these babes either! Does anyone have a clue what these are and if you think the are indeed males?!?

    Pullet or Roo?

    I’m feeling pretty good about this one being a cockerell. Also the white that looks like a leghorn. The hatch consisted of 3 white eggs 2 blue egg and 3 brown eggs hatching. I kept pictures. I guess I could always go back and look to see what breeds. They will all stick around regardless of...
