    Multiple day hatch...

    So when I started out with this batch, I had two working incubators...Now I only have on working. I have 15 eggs set to hatch on the 3rd and the other 15 two days later. Any suggestions on the humidity setting for the first batch so it does not affect the second batch??

    egg color genetics question

    I have a beautiful white rooster that is a Sapphire Super Blue. I incubated eggs that were EE hens {blue/blue green eggs} from him. If I keep one of the rooster offspring from the pair, will he carry the blue gene for the next generation pullets?

    silkies in the mix

    Good morning! I hope that someone has some input here... I would like to add a couple of silkies to my mix. Would they be safe to add to my coupe of EE/RIR. I would be incubating the eggs and slowly introducing them to the flock... I do have a rooster in the coop...
