    Brinsea Mini Advance EX - water pot question

    I am having trouble understanding how the evaporation paper fits into the water pot. Does anyone have a photo they can post or explain to me how they fit the paper in? Maybe I'm having an off day but I'm just not understanding the instructions that say to fold it over the water pot rib and...

    California Hatchery reviews?

    Do not purchase eggs from a place in Calimesa CA calling themselves "Robin's Eggs". They are using my photo to sell their eggs on CL, eBay and possibly here.

    Cream Legbars

    My experience in hatching EE's and 1/2 Copper Maran's is that in January I hatched 12 eggs under a broody and 9 were female. In April I got 5/5 males. Could temp have anything to do with it...like in turtles?

    Cream Legbars

    I purchased some CL eggs on eBay several months ago. They arrived filthy and I had that "I've been screwed" feeling from the beginning. Two hatched. One is a CL (male, of course) the other appears to be a sex-link (male, too) so I'm guessing a black roo in with the CL hens (he hatched from a...

    Farmhouse Eggs -- what breed?

    I have emailed and never received an answer. My "Red Star" lays a nice size egg on a regular basis but the Cal-Maine Farmhouse Eggs are a darker speckled brown and very pretty and large. They actually remind me of Welsummer eggs, but they are not prolific producers. These eggs are carried by...

    The Olive-Egger thread!

    I am beyond excited because today...I found a SPECKLED dark olive egg in the nest box!!!! Saving those light olive speckled eggs for hatching is paying off!! ...and the two-tone just adds to the coolness!!

    The Olive-Egger thread!

    Thank you! Until I decide if I want to "specialize" in a breed(s), it's all about egg color!

    The Olive-Egger thread!

    I got my first dark olive egg from the birds I hatched in February. The only problem is the egg was on the floor of the coop so I'm not sure who laid it! It's like Christmas! haha!!

    Genetic question about a cross

    I have a Welsummer/EE cross rooster. Father is welly, mother is EE. The roo has beautiful feathering (I think), a nice carriage (I think) and a ugly comb. He also has a beard. If I wanted to breed to keep the feathering but toward a pea comb how would I breed him? I still have both of...

    The Legbar Thread!

    These are photos of the chicks at just a few days old; they only hatched this past weekend. There were no females so no chipmunks. Thank you all for the confirmation that the black chick is NOT a CL or a "throwback". I believe he is a sex-link, too. I don't own a barred hen so I KNOW he...

    The Legbar Thread!

    They claim it is a "Cream Legbar Only" pen... Here is a photo I just took of him: This is his only other hatch mate:
