I am in west central Minnesota and have 3 roosters that need new ladies. Anyone interested let me know.

When locking down and removing turner should I put the eggs in a carton to make sure the air sack stays in place or just lay them on the wire mesh?

We are going to pull our turning tray Wednesday! Getting closer here.

We candled tonight and have 37 out of 42 good to go still!!!! I thought I cooked them all in the first 24 hrs.

I am with you waiting to see in 6 days if the spike caused any issues. Keep us posted!

Can't wait to see! Mine will be silver lace and the lavender.

Hi now does anyone have a lavender orpington rooster with a barred rock hen cross? We will be joining our flock for the summer and I am curious to see what the offspring could be.

I think the kids tapped the dial when I was putting the eggs in.

Put these in about 7:30 PM last night after 3 days at steady 100°. I got up this am to the thermometers reading 106 and 104. Took lid off and got it back down to 99 and staying steady there. Today's eggs are going in out little Janoel12 to see if we can get at least some of them to work out...

dkkirby what was your outcome?

12 hrs in woke up to incubator at 106° to 110° will candle at day 5 or 6 I told the kids we wouldn't candle this batch but I guess we will. We lost our rooster on the 18th so only have a few days to see the outcome collecting more eggs just to make sure we can replace any that are not making it.

Buff and Lavender orpington cross hen or roo? 3 weeks old.

How long can I keep three chicks in a 33in ×17in brooder?

The two barred rock chicks thinking we have one of each at 8 days old.

These are our three babies. Can we tell this soon if they are pullets? The first one is the Lavender orpington rooster with the Buff hen chick. The other two are barred rock chicks. Let me know what you think
