This ... 👆 Here's a couple pics just to give you an idea.
There's 2 broodys/2 nest boxes. I have them situated the way they are to catch a fan. But both areas are interconnected at the L so they can possibly intermingle after hatch, but if not I can move either nest box to block that off if the...
This...I really like that idea, thank you. I can test both the incubator and Raven to see how she does.
I've never done this, so this will be new. I'll read up on it more tho just to try and get the timing right. From what I have read...just slip them in after dark and monitor Raven for a bit...
I've got 2 broodys been sitting since the 9th-10th, due next weekend and another just went broody....giving her 1 more day to make sure she's committed and that will be a June hatch.
Chicks everywhere....🤣
That is so cool...very nice rooster you have. My Kong wasn't a fan of the babies for the longest time, despite starting integration at 4 days old, so its taking a bit longer to get them integrated.
The grey one definitely isn't. I didn't notice anyone puffy cheeks but seen the feathered legs so I asked out of curiosity..🙂
The grey one is super pretty also..♥️
I'm stressing because the first hatch was a complete fail 0/22 because actual temp was way low compared to reading, didn't calibrate it. Got it calibrated but last hatch was only 8/22. So not sure what happened there. Ugh...
Ravens a first time broody and not yet a year old but I think my...
I think Raven is committed this time, she's been sitting on eggs since yesterday morning. If so, what timing is that? 🤣
I've had the shipped eggs in incubator since yesterday, but I'm thinking give her another day or 2 to be for positive and if she is, give her the shipped eggs. 🙂
Yes, you are right about that. 🤣 And that seems to be the way it's going. I got Prince and 3 girls... I did get 3 boys with Raven, Angel and Copper but they were OEs. And then just got 2 boys/8 girls but wanted more boys.
Watch me get 18 boys this time...🤣
Correct again, not sure why I got...
A few days ago I took the wind breaks down for the summer and immediately the boys took that opportunity to start squaring off thru the hc. So I needed to get the secondary fence up at least half way janky to stop that. The run is new and not quite finished but here's a few pics of the...
