    is this a chicken or a chicken guinea cross???

    I have a silky chicken that sat on a clutch of mixed eggs. By mixed I mean I have RR hen, red comet hen, a gray hen, and a white silky hen all lain in the same nest and the silky sat and hatched them. This is one of the ones that hatched. Oh and my roosters are game roosters that someone gave me.

    How long to wait for duck to go broody??

    How long or how many eggs would you let your ducks get before you took them if they was not sitting on them. At least I don’t think they are. They are in the corner of the duck house piled up and covered up with pine shavings. This is my first time leaving eggs for them to hatch.

    Cleaning eggs???

    Air circulation amount during incubating???????

    Is to much air circulation a bad thing when incubating eggs? The reason I asked is because I added an extra fan to my incubator thinking it was a good thing. Last hatching I hatched 14 out of 17 eggs with the factory fan only. This time I lost every egg I had and I had added a extra fan to...
