    Incubator recomendations?

    I'm wanting to buy an incubator that holds 12 to 24 eggs with a good hatch rate. I want auto turning and one that you do not need to open to add water. I need it to be under 100. Any suggestions?

    How would you clean this incubator?

    I just got this from my nieghbor. The fan is dirty and I can't remove the screws. The heads are worn and most of them are tight. Can I rinse it out and blow dry it? Will I ruin the electrical parts?

    This is my Rooster Chicken Noodle

    He is about 4 months old. He looks like an Easter Egger to me. He has greenish legs too, but no fluffy cheeks. Anyone know what breed he is?

    My 10 week old chicky stole my earing!

    It's a peridot stud earing. It's small. She jumped on my back climbed up and pecked my earing out. It fell on the bedding and I could not find it! I'm concerned one of them might find it and swallow it and die! What do you think? Has anything like this happened to you? What did you do?

    What will I feed them?

    I have an older hen and 10 6 week olds. One of them will be a rooster and they will have some chicks. Can I give them all flock pellets mixed with chick starter and then offer calcium and grit together in a separate bowl?
