    Story of our raising and hatching own to process of mixed flock

    Yay yay yay yay! Hubby said I could get a bigger incubator so we can hatch bigger batches instead of little batches. I was thinking of getting a second Kebonnixs or a maticoopx30. Price is huge difference but not sure if I have place to put another incubator. Hmm... Choices choices lol

    Woohoo! Mama is going broody again! Yay!

    A rare moment of her sitting with them. Since we let them out she pretty much wanders while they do too and not together lol definitely different from her other groups lol

    what brand and kind of incubator is best?

    i believe the house humidity effects the incubators humidity as well. a good reason to get a hygrometer to check too. our humidity where our incubator is is around 30-40%, and inside stays 40-50 without assistance, THAT is using my calibrated govee too. I think last reading it was about 3-5 off.

    what brand and kind of incubator is best?

    i second the Kebonnixs, love it! have one and have used it several times with nearly 100% sucess rate- did use a Govee with it. the first hatch I didn't and still hatched 75% but part of that was egg issues. I am looking at the Maticoopx 30 Egg for higher number. Hubby said I could get a bigger...

    Woohoo! Mama is going broody again! Yay!

    Their combs are showing lol 4 weeks old. Things have't panned out or else they'd be running free but they have bigger area. We think the dark egger hen in extra photo is the mom of the black one as she's the only one dark enough, and lays the right color egg it came from lol

    Story of our raising and hatching own to process of mixed flock

    Got them moved over last night. We handed them through the open panel lol Need to get a tarp for the partial side to tuck under other tarp but it's good for now. Gonna get some black paint for the far side since only door is inside main coop

    Will vacuum noise harm 4 week old chicks?

    We vacuum daily since hatch. Also have dogs barking, kids running around. They scatter and hide under brooder plate, but we make all kinds of noise and haven't had any issues yet. Even mowing outside doesn't seem to effect the adult girls, the newest ones scatter but the big girls don't care...
