LOOKING FOR SOME LAYING HENS FOR SALE IN MS. WILL PICK UP!

I'm curious about the gender and breed of the below chickens. I'm BRAND new at this and I don't even know where to start. All chicks came from TSC. Thanks in Advance! #1 (assorted yellow pullets bin) #2 (assorted bantam bin) - I have been told that this is a Buff Cochin. Any idea on...

Thanks!

I'm a bantam and I don't know if I'm a boy or girl.

Awesome! So did you keep it around 30% humidity the entire time? And what was your humidity during lockdown?

How did this work for you? I've just recently purchased an Octagon 20 Advance and I haven't set any eggs yet as I can't decide to go with a wet or dry hatch. What was your hatch rate with dry hatch?

I would love to hear the answer to this. I'm in the "planning stage" of building a homemade bator and I'm seriously thinking about purchasing one of these. Anyone?

Thanks so much for your reply!!! I'm glad to know that somebody else out there has thought about trying this! I love learning from other people's mistakes. hehe I think I'm going to try the sand.

I'm setting up a brooder in a plastic tub for 6 chicks. My question is.......can I use Sweet PDZ ONLY for the bedding of my brooder? It would be nice to be able to sift out to poop like you would a cat's litter box. I've read on here where several people mix sweet PDZ with sand for bedding and...
