IF I mixed a delaware( white/columbian) with a buff orphington and mixed the babies with a delaware and ended up with a gold delaware and its babies looked like the parents would that be a new breed of delaware?
any answers/thoughts are welcomed and thanks

I want to hatch some of my eggs but they have been in the fridge. How long do I wait b4 i can put them in the bator? I forgot is it 12 hours of 24?

I recieved some eggs and they are white eggs but when i candle them I see a huge vein close to the airsac going all the way around( width wise). Is that normal? (I usually hatch brown eggs so I am not use to this.)
I have a thermometer (not digital) that has a gap in it (like an air bubble) can I fix this? should I buy a new one? or can I just subtract the space from the total?
ex: space is 10 degrees thermometer reading is 110, 110 - 90 = 100 degrees
thanks

i have a foam incubator and my automatic turner for it broke. right now i really don't have the money or time to go out and buy a new one. I was curious to see if anyone might know or be able to suggest a way i might be able to build a turner or hatch the eggs without one. I would do it by hand...
