    What gender is this chicken?

    I hatched this beauty from an egg and it hatched about the first of May. I know that it is a mixed breed bird so am not looking for a breed. I would really like to know if it's a rooster. The comb is small for a rooster. Does anyone know what gender this chicken is?

    Hello everyone

    To Sally Sunshine: I am new to hatching. I started in the spring and posted my results on the Farm Inovators thread. Everyone of my hatches has been from the same source and all of my results have been similar. I'm diligent to monitor the temp and the humidity. Even so, I've only had about 50...

    In addition to the thermometer I purchased a hygrometer from Amazon. The hygrometer on the incubator isn't something to rely on.

    I locked down 27 eggs. I've been candling but not too carefully. I candled again at 20 days and removed 2 that we're obviously dead. I was left with 11 eggs that didn't hatch. I didn't candle them, but in the future I would.

    I am hatching birds of various origins. I hatched 14 out of an original 37 eggs. Many were clear and some died in the process. My neighbor is happy with what she gets but I think I should do better.

    How long have you had your incubator? I too had about 50 percent hatch rate on my first two hatches. I'm glad I discovered that the thermometer I was going by was faulty.

    Yesterday was the 17th day of my current hatch. I put them into lockdown and within a few hours I had two hatch. I'm impressed with this new thermometer that I bought from Amazon. I can't imagine having to deal with severe temperature fluctuations. My FI hasn't had that problem. It's going to be...

    Farm innovations 4250 incubator

    Wow, that's an impressive array of eggs. Are the EE's good layers? You seem to have your thermostat figured out. Mine dips at night. So I adjust it up at night and back down in the morning. With this new thermometer it only varies less than one degree. I'm sure hoping this makes a difference in...

    You were very supportive, thank you. I've learned that the thermostat on my FI is not accurate. This new thermometer records minimum and maximum. The minimum dropped to 97.1. I would not have known that if not for this new thermometer. I've reset the thermostat and if the temperature gets too...
