    Incubating questions

    This is sounding really ignorant and I guess that's my case. What exactly do they mean by turn the eggs? The first thought I have is rolling them completely over but I have been looking at automatic turners and what I see is a devise that basically rocks the egg . What is required?

    I am questioning what breed this Roo actually is?

    We got this one in a mixed group at about 4 months old . It looked like a barred rock (hen) at that time. I have looked at barred rock rooster photos and he doesn't match them. Any ideas?

    Hello from Missouri
