    Will chicks be Sex linked?

    So, my found BO girl has eight red and yellow chicks. This tells me that they are from the Isa Roo and not the EE roo. Will the chicks be sex linked, with one being red and the other being yellow? I forgot what color genes were needed.

About the same time my neighbor decided to disband her flock as well. So, for the last couple of weeks there have been two survivor chickens roaming the backyards...

    Rain storm tragedy

    I have been really psyched about my buff rock babies. I finally got them out of the house and into a pen with some older pullets. They got along well.

    Day 14 candle last night and some pips under the broody.

    So out of the 39 I originally set, 3 were not firtile the first time around, my son dropped 1, and 5 quit. The other 30 are going strong, although it looks like 3 may have an air space problem. All in all not bad for my first hatch in an LG still air. Can't wait for next friday... Hatching...

    What temp do I use?

    Hello, I was just wondering which temp I should go by for adjustments. My LG has been holding steady since I set the eggs Friday, but I was wondering if I measure the temp from the turner (99.7) or measure from the top of the egg (102.6)? I don't expect any temp problems because the bator is in...

    Is there any more to say??? Sooo... I went out and got a Little Giant from TSC. DH sprang for the turner, and hooked it up for 3 days to be sure it would run alright, and to get the temp settings just right. Now I've got a bunch of Blue Rock eggs from Halo (Thank You) and then filled it the...
