    The pics are awesome. I am glad you are enjoying them. This breed is so friendly and developed right here in Ohio for our harsh winters and hot summers. The birds we have follow my kids around all the time. When they see us coming the run to us and seem to enjoy our companionship. I am glad to...

    Oh and by the way, if anyone is interested and close to Troy Ohio I think I will have some extra olive eggers. Looks like about a dozen or a dozen and a half. PM me if you are interested and we can work out details!

    Congrats! I have had several bator problems and it is amazing how resilient chicks can be. I have had hatches every week for about the last 2 months! Looks like a colorful bunch!

    Jeff has done a great job with his buckeyes! I am just glad I can help pass on and hopefully add to what he and others have improved on already. I hope you have a great hatch!

    As for putting them in the coop. When they are feathered out in my experience they are good to be out in the coop. If you go with the 95 degrees when hatched and lower the temp by 5 every week, well you get the idea. If they are not staying huddled under the current light in the brooder you...

    Sorry to hear about the one. I hate losing any birds, butit does happen. Have you tried adding electrolyte to the water for the one slow one. It may just need a little extra pep in his step! Glad to hear the others aredoing really well.

    I like both of mine. I can keep them within 2 degrees.I usually place a light throw blanket on top of them to help eliminate heat loss through the plexi on the top and it works great. Kids love watching them hatch and you can just slide it to the side to check temps. If you read my other post...

    I can tell you what I do and it works for me. Try to follow I will explain the best I can. To start I have a basic cooler bator as you could find on here, it is the hard shell type, not the cheap styrofoam. My cooler will fit 3 egg cartons side by side with 2 egg compartments cut off one end of...

    Yep, a hot water heater thermostat at lowes cost me just under $8. All the rest were reuse items, light socket, old power cord, computer fan, and cooler. I figure for the price of some expensive bator I can turn my eggs at least 3x a day. Been averaging 80% hatch rate at the moment so I cannot...

    I have the same problem. I have figured out that by building a hatcher I can just cycle eggs through the incubator on a weekly basis. New fluffy butts every week!Has worked great for about 3 weeks! Until tonight when I figured out how to get even more eggs in my homemade cooler bator . I really...

    LOL I bet she didn't have to talk to much. My daughter is the same. Wants to hatch anything we can get our hands on. It is lots of fun though. I have 4 out now and lots of pips! I enjoy every minute of it too!

    Well my first big hatch is underway a full day early here in Troy Ohio. Just had the first of many make it out. Always exciting watching these little chicks pop out all at once! My new cooler hatcher is doing a great job so far and I can't wait to wake to little peeps in the morning.
