I have my chicks that hatched Dec. 9th in a brooder that is in a insulated shed. They are doing well. Of the 11 chicks I think I have 5 boys and 6 girls. I think all the Ayam Cemani (3) are girls.
My chicks are 2 weeks old. I moved them to a heated pen with heat lamp (chained and chicks cannot touch the lamp.) One of the little marans, likes to chest bump my hand when I reach in to touch him. Fun times.
I am going to look into a rooster after New years, to breed with some of my hens. I...
I like it on youtube when they just play momma chicken and chicks. No human voices. I don't like videos where some lady is videoing chicks and talks the whole time. "Oh, look a the cuteeee chickkkeees! Arnth they just the cuteee-est thing you ever seeen? I remember when I was a little...
Check prices after x-mas.
I rehomed some surprise hens to day. I gave the guy 7 hens. I asked if he wanted my one rooster, he said sure. I like to find homes for roosters.
What a cutie!

I thought I was going to help it out. I woke up the next morning thinking I was gunna hafta, and then it was out.
Then after all that waiting it was a rooster.
Just know if it pips it needs to breathe and rest a bit and STILL absorb contents. Don't help until after 24 hrs, if you do go slow, and if there is blood stop. Keep flour on hand to dab blood.
My Crested legbar, I think he is a little rooster. (Rudolf) he was born last. He was in his egg when I went to bed last night. I thought I would have to help him out of his egg. He was out when I woke up. I don't like to help. Chicks are stronger if they kick the egg off themselves. (Like a...
Above are the eggs again. Shipped eggs. The pink circled was not fertile. So I only started out with 14. The blue x started but quit. The Red checks, and the number is the order of hatched. 11/14 is 78.57%

My chicks are spoiled, they have a small-mini tv for their pen. They like the movement and the noise, the sound is not up very high though. They like their mirror too.
