All 12 chicks survived; not knowing if they were roos or hens; eventually ended up with 5 hens a lot were creamy white some with a few brown spots and one vivid dark red. All of them started laying at 5 months! All lay brown eggs!!! Two roos are quite magnificent - one exactly like White...
Thank you Feedman77; now I remember you were right reptiles, not birds! Yes we work in Centigrade which converts 99.8 Fahrenheit to 36.66 Centigrade which is what I have used to 100% success rate; thank you for confirming!
Can't remember where I saw an article on heat of eggs whilst incubating making a difference between getting roos or not and wondered if anyone knows anything about artificially incubating eggs and the difference temperature makes please?
Sorry I'm new at this..didn't know it was uploading the lhoto of my rooster which I assumed was an Isa Brown until someone said probably not. I didn't breed this one but raised from 5 wks. My hens are Isa Brown. I incubated 12 chicks. Two were from a small white hen with fawn tinge on her back...
Hi there, I've read the thread and - at present - have 12 chicks a week old that I incubated (my first lot this way; always had clucky hens in the past that would hatch out a clutch) - they are from Isa Brown hens with an Isa Brown Rooster who is very handsome and the nicest, kindest roosters...
