    10 hens or 10 roosters? :-)

    Thanks so much for all your inputs - really appreciate it! One last, maybe dumb question, I know the eggs I received came from Wyandottes of mixed colors Could it be that the pullet all agree on is from a different color/pattern variant than the others? Or are they definitely cockerels even...

    New hatching project with live cam

    Just received 51 wyandotte-eggs by mail – only 2 broken – very good result so far. So 49 eggs in the incubator – will be exciting! Last time I tried a new approach which seemed to work well; letting the incubator run dry for the first couple of days and then adding a bit of water later while...

    Hi - it is a bit tricky as you will need a streaming server. There are some different options available on the Internet. On the hardware I use a Vivotek IP cam. cheers

    Is anyone using the Premier "heat plate" brooder for chicks?

    Based in Denmark - it was an optional extra purchase (in USD something like 15 or 20 if I remember correctly). Quite nice as it is really easy to adjust the heat. For the first couple of weeks I don't use it as raising the plate will do the same basically but then you can start reducing heat...

    Oh no - I dropped one of my eggs when I removed the cradle on day 18... It looks like the membrane didn't break - but will the little chick survive or did I kill it?? Take a look: rgds Michael

Once they have hatched the camera will follow them to the brooder. It is quite funny to follow them up close during the first days. You need to go to my...
