    Jubilee Orpington

    Very cute! Definitely a pullet. I do not believe she is a jubilee, however, maybe a red orp. Post a pic on the jubilee thread or on the imported english orpington thread. Lots of experience there.

    could you incubate goose eggs in a brinsea mini?

    Thanks. I just managed to fit five sebbie eggs in my mini laying down. Could not believe it. Holding temp beautifully. Can't wait to see those beautiful veins.

    could you incubate goose eggs in a brinsea mini?

    I know this is a fairly old thread, but I'm wondering if the eggs could be placed upright at an angle in a cut down cup or carton and tilted side to side, as a turner would do in some incubators. That might allow for more eggs to be incubated. Also, I tend to keep my mini at 99.8. It will go to...

    With blue from BBS plus Chocolate, I think you get mauve, at least with an all orp cross. Not sure if that's all the time or occasional. Post some pics would love to see.

    I think it was you. You posted 12/20 back on post #28. You must have entered a typo, since that's not your birthday. It was meant to be. You might want to play the lotto right now.

    Broody Hen Thread!

    I made a cylinder out of one by two inch fencing and stood in upright. Like an upright toilet paper roll, butt much larger, lol. I sprinkle the chick crumb inside. The babies scurry right in and eat, but the big birds can't get in and eat all the food.

    I have a hen raising 4 chicks right now. No heat lamp. They are about 2 and a half weeks now. The chicks don't seem to have any problem at all with the cold and mama brought them outside into the run at 3 days old. I think maybe because they are running around the run all day. I just make sure...

    Broody Hen Thread!

    My silkie hen was sitting on an Ameraucana egg, but another hen kept trying to lay in the box, so she kept moving to the next box, leaving the egg. She did that about a week ago, it was about 32 to 34 degrees out. The egg was stone cold. It was about 11 or 12 days along. I was pretty sure it was...

    Thought I'd follow up. Well, my son accidentally collected Henrietta's egg when she was off the nest and by the time we found it, via candling, it was too late. I happened to have some white silkie/jubilee orp eggs in the brinsea so I popped those under her. Well three days later Hen was the...

    Broody Hen Thread!

    Henrietta is sitting on at least two babies since around two o'clock. Fluffy yellow with little head crests. They seem to look like silkies with the down color of baby jubilees. So flipping cute! I'm not going to peek again until tomorrow. Don't want to disturb her. Although she has barely moved...

    Broody Hen Thread!

    Thank you RickaRae and Lady of Camley for the advice and encouragement. She seems to be doing very well so far with the eggs. It probably helps that they are small silkie eggs. Her fake egg is huge. Only two left to tuck under today. She seems quite determined to stay the course. We will be...
