    Incubators and my electricity bill!!

    This probably seems like a dumb question but………..I run five incubators and have at least 5 heat lamps going lately 24/7. I would expect my bill to go some but a couple hundred dollars is completely ridiculous! Does running the incubators and heat lamps really take that much electricity...

    I have been hatching a lot of chicks lately but from time to time they die in the last 3 days. When I open up the egg I can clearly see that the fully formed chick did not absorb the yoke. What would cause this to happen? Thank you.

    Is this a game breed pullet??

    I picked up this pullet at the feedstore several weeks ago - I liked her cause she looked different. Then I thought she was a black sex link but she is around 12 weeks old and smaller than my other birds. Is she some type of game breed?? Thank you.
