I currently have 13 chickens that I need to part with due to a change in circumstances.
I have 2 roosters that are believed to be white leghorns (approximately 8 weeks old), 2 easter egger pullets (one is 8 weeks old and the other 6 weeks old), 2 barred plymouth rock pullets (8 weeks old), 6...
So today I received a telephone call from a friend of a friend, asking if I would be willing to take in 3 homeless chicks.
The first 2 are all white and are suspected roos, but I have no idea how old they are or what breed they are. They seem a little more mature than my 5 week olds, so maybe...
So last Friday I went to pick up four silkie chicks, and came home with 6 silkie chicks and an easter egger. I added these babies to my 2 barred plymouth rocks and 1 easter egger that are now 1 day shy of 4 weeks old. I currently have them in separate brooders, but have let them play outside...

This is Miku. She is identified by the tiny...

I want to hatch some fuzzy butts, but I need help selecting the correct incubator. Can you experienced folks suggest a quality incubator that will hold up well and give me excellent results? I would appreciate any suggestions on incubators and the hatching process. Thanks!
I live in Penn Township, Cumberland County, PA and it turns out the spot I live in is considered agricultural. Since I am surrounded by farms, and the area is agricultural, I guess there is no problem with me having a few pet chickens. Yeah!!!
