    Dry Hatch help

    Hello everyone, I appologize if this has been answered before. I am setting up my first dry hatch and I was wondering if there was a such thing as too dry. My humidity is about 18-20% because we have forced hot air heating. Is that enough humidity to do a dry hatch? Thank you! Jamie

    You can also advertise on craigslist and Facebook farm animal groups. Whatever else I don't need I can take to a local auction.

    That's great to know! I was wondering if that would be the case. I don't know why they didn't explain that a little better on the directions. :)

    You would think that you wouldn't have issues with that in a desert. I took out the red vent plug and my humidity is now down to 54%. I think I will keep it out as long as the humidity stays stable.

    Yes, I followed the directions and put the water in the well like it said. I don't think we have particularly high humidity here and we have forced hot air heating, so its usually really dry in the house. I opened the vent plug last night and now the humidity is down to 59%. I read about...

    Is anyone using a Hova Bator? The humidity is at 65% - is that too high and how can I adjust that if it is?

    7 week old chickens. (Hoping for hens!!) what breed/gender do I have?

    I agree. Helen and Gertrude have the lighter coloration of barred cockerels. Gretchen is darker, so a pullet.

    7 week old chickens. (Hoping for hens!!) what breed/gender do I have?

    I agree, Helen and Gertrude have much lighter plumage which in barred breeds is indicative of cockerels. Gretchen is a nice dark girl.

    Easter Egger chicks - what's your guess?

    Yours still definitely looks like a pullet. As I suspected, the black and white at the top is a rooster and the others are pullets.

    Free mystery Chick from Murray McMurray

    yes, but females generally don't have large red ones at 8 weeks of age. One question I do have for those who have cochins... my blue roo's outside toe on both feet is freakishly small. Is this normal? My buff cochins don't seem to have toes like this at all and I think he is a little off...

    They send them automatically with the order. I think you can deselect if you don't want one though

    Are these hackle feathers?

    Just wanted to add that I can often find the saddle feathers starting to grow if I part the feathers in front of the tail and look for the new pointy ones starting to grow out.
