I might get trashed but you should try Dry Incubating. The first 18 days I dont add any water at all, But I am in east texas where the RH is fairly high. The first 18 days run at 25-35% humidity. The last 3 days I add water and keep it between 50-60%. I have a minifridge bator And so far have...
It happens to the best of us. I went to a ranch here in east texas to pick up a rir roo that was free and it ended up costing me $60 bucks because I saw some Jersey Giant hens that I couldnt resist. Its cheaper to breed your own than going somewhere where there are a bunch of chickens.
I have some sex links that have a rust color feathers coming down from their head to their back. I have some others that are about 3-4 weeks old that are starting to barre like their barred rock momma's, is this normal? All the black sex links that I have seen are almost pure black.
I dont believe it at all. Today I hatched a mix of 17 RIR and Black sex links. Out of the 10 sex links 8 are roosters. I dry incubate and the humidity runs between 25-40 depending on the outside rh.
