    Roo or hen?!?

    We incubated these blue/white Cochin babies. They’re 11 weeks tomorrow. I’m thinking this one might be a roo based on his comb and waddle, but he has yet to crow and is super docile. What are your thoughts?

    12x12 Titan brooder he.

    We just hatched 11 on Monday/Tuesday from our incubator!!!!! It has been such an incredible experience. We can only keep 4 sadly since we live inside city limits, but with 6 kids, we go through the eggs, too. At least a few dozen a week as well. I’m so excited to be on this road, and I’m truly...
