Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!
Work has had me stretched for a while but I have some new birds and trying to pick out a couple of good Roos before I get rid of the other 5. I would love some opinions. I currently have blue laced red and splash Wyandottes but my wife wanted some sapphires so that addition was a no brainer.- fishin_dad

Incubation tips
I have a thermometer/hygrometer that the probe will fit through the vent hole in the lid. 10 of the eggs did great until after the first one hatched and rolled the other ones around. Most of the remaining 10 appeared to have a detached air cell. It looked like an air cell in both ends of the egg- fishin_dad
