6 months old - super friendly, nice to the ladies, just have 2 roos and need to rehome one of them - decided to rehome the nicer one and keep the
"problem child" lol. Name is Renaldo.
Can ship via USPS (buyer pays shipping). GOOD HOME ONLY. He is SUCH a nice bird. Comes in and hangs in the...

We will safely package the eggs to get them to you quickly and safely*. Eggs are collected and turned morning, noon and evening (eggs should be turned an odd number each day so there is no chance of eggs laying on...

Good luck!
I couldn't find and answer earlier and an admin took the time to answer me, maybe if you post to them they will answer. I have never been to their faq page. Saw no posts, thought it was empty. LOL
I think temps moving around that much could delay hatch time. I used a still air in the beginning now I only use forced air and wouldn't go back. Best investment I've made so far...good luck to you!
I will use a towel or robe draped over me to make it as dark as possible (even in the barn lol) so I can get a good luck at what's happening in the egg. I can't tell anything when trying to candle in daylight. Sometimes I go out way late at night to do it as well...
We've helped them out of the shells (if it's bleeding it's probably too soon) and had them survive and ones that survived for a few days and then die. Sorry to hear yours didn't make it.
I've never seen a hen kill a chick - ours are excellent moms so far - I hope that doesn't happen to us!
