    Little Giant Incubator Tricks

    I hate the thermostat on the LG incubator. The slightest turn of the knob will change it by several degrees. It also does not seem to hold temperature very well. It holds steady around 99 or 100 most of the time, but in the morning, i sometimes see 97, and this is with the cheap walmart...

    Beavy of gender IDs

    I would have to say light brahma #1 and #2 have the exact same combs. So either both boys or both girls.

    Beavy of gender IDs

    Thats unfortunate, i was hoping to get a nice BLRW hen. Can't complain I suppose, since those eggs weren't even suppose to be mine.

    Chicken fat: yellow vs white?

    Trader Joes & Other Grocery Store Egg Hatching Club - Are you a Member

    LOTS of feed being wasted

    I just recently modified this exact feeder to waste 0 feed for chicks. Not sure how well it works for older chickens, but for newly born chicks, and probably good for a month before their head gets too big. The reason these things are easy to waste food is because the food comes out way too...

    BLRW and Blue Cochin, OR?

    Those BLRW eggs were shipped to me incorrectly, and was labeled BLRW, not sure if the original meant black or blue, i just assume blue. It is a happy surprise for me.

    BLRW and Blue Cochin, OR?

    Anyone help me ID what these are? This one came out of a BLRW egg, but I have like 5 other BLRW hatched and all are darker, chipmunk back. This one came from a batch of cochin and brahma eggs. It was unmarked as to which one, I am guessing a blue cochin? single comb, feather legged...
