    INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

    Absolutely! Right now we have a couple of young hens that are just starting to cluck. They are Pekin x something. We suspect the mother may have been the pekin x Essex "roo" I mentioned before here roosterliness hit critical mass. They are beautiful chickens with long leg feathers, The oldest is...

    Thanks! Interestingly just about everything there we came to independently, but the finer details of the humidity were something that has been a bit off.

    bitzer this, bitzer that. I think she's rhode island red x Essex x Silkie x bantam Australorp x ???. She's just a smallish white-ish generic looking chicken with 5 toes, but a real potent genetic cauldron. Speaking of which we have a black supposedly pure Australorp who matured into a furnace...

    So can anybody join in? We have eggs pretty much constantly hatching here. The incubator is running 24/7. Most of our equipment is either fabricated by me or patched up commercial products. Our foam incubator was shipped from the U.S. and sadly sustained some fairly serious damage through...

    Super chickens developing too early!

One of our older Silkies had started laying and the eggs are tiny for some reason. As a bonus we put them in the incubator and some were fertile! The large eggs were from...

    Super chickens developing too early!
