No my rooster is not related to my hens - I guess maybe. 1 or more of my hens has the gene as well...
4 more have hatched today after the last post and luckily they all have rose combs so a total of 5 rose combs and 3 single ( although small they are there) ... With 3 single combs hatching...
I was very excited as I'm hatching my first batch of chicks from my own birds. I've been counting the days and have been soooo disappointed in my hatch so far! :(
So far 3 out of 4 of my chicks have a SINGLE comb instead of the wyandotte ROSE comb!?
I know a throwback comb can show up...
Well all in all not a bad hatch for my first time using the incuview! 12 of 13 chics hatched so what 98% - and that's without an accurate hydrometer! Lol
Yeah I couldn't find a straw , I do have some flexible airline tubing , but it wasn't firm enough and the wateri put in wouldnt break surface tension and it would just pool on the top of the grate- will be an easy fix for next time- so far most eggs have hatched waitin on three left 2 that have...

The Link is Working for some but not for others - If you try it out please let me know if it...
It's time using the incuview - 13 out of 14 eggs made it to lockdown_ the one egg was a Yolker and never developed - I have 3 pips on day 20 and all are on the wrong end of the egg ? What would cause this? They all seem to be getting air so I'm not to concerned yet- I candled right before...
Hatching eggs are in!
So my egg turner had just a small easily remedied flaw - the hole for the turned was just place to close to the turner ( so close I couldn't even assemble it without taking it apart - I felt the pressure from it being so close may impede the turning ability so I took it...
Incubatorwarehouse.com customer service is amazing!!!
My husband ordered me the incuview to surprise me for my birthday and unfortunately it was destroyed by USPS. We assume it fell off the delivery truck as a passer by found it in the street and delivered the destroyed package to us.

thanks everyone- I know they aren't perfect, any hatching I do will be for personal use only- I'm just an urban backyard chicken keeper so I wouldn't have the space anyway
This is my matriarch hen - the first hen I ever hatched and I got her off this site :).
Just added this beautiful boy!
I also bought unseen a blrw hen- way overpriced and coloring really not to my liking once I saw her but she was super sweet and her poor head was pecked bald - here she...
I got 6 hatching eggs and my 1st time broody blrw set them- unfortunately momma accident my. Squished 2 and 1 didn't hatch and then one died at a couple days old- the two remaining are doing well - can't wait to see what they mature to look like- :)
This is Radioactive a cross between my blrw hen an a tolbunt Polish Roo... She kinda looks like a science experiment gone bad , but I like her ;)
Her momma
And her roo dad
I incubated my blue laced red Wyandotte hen last summer and now it's her turn to do the incubating as a broody mamma. She has 4 tolbunt Polish eggs and 6 mille de fleur D Uccle eggs. Candles at 7 days and everyone is developing nicely under mamma :)
