My birds leg bands all broke off so I now do not know who belongs to who. Here is the situation. I have 2 Roos, 1 Cream Legbar and 1 Wheaton Ameraucana. The CLB was in with an Olive Egger in hopes of getting Spearmint Eggers and the Ameraucana was in with a Salmon Faverolle=Favaucanas, a Blue...
Does anyone happen to know the Scientific name Species and Sub species of the Faverolles? I am having a hard time with the fact that it comes up as a RED jungle fowl. I can understand it being a sub species of one, but I need to know that scientific sub species name. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller...
I too contacted Ron looking for some whites. If you happen to come across any anywhere please let me know as to where you found them. I have been trying to get my hands on some whites for about 4 years now!!!
Thank you!

Will someone PLEASE take my handsome boy. He is 8 months old, he is a Tolbunt Polish Frizzle that I hatched. He actually won BV BB at the Arizona State Fair...this of course was when I thought that he was a she. I can not have a rooster here and how I found out is he just started crowing...
Hey!
Did that walker ever help your chick? I have one like that too. :-( 3 days old and nothing. I was going to give this a try and wanted to know your feedback.
Thank you!
Hello fellow hatchers!
I am freaking out a bit. I have been closely monitoring the humidity and it was pretty stable at 60-65%. Yesterday, day 20 I had 3 out of 11 pipped. This morning I wake up to 2 chicks hatched and 1 attempting to say hello to the world. However, with that being said...
Day four in the incubator, I leave at 7:40 am and get home at 1:30 pm to find that my incubator is at a whopping 102.4 freaking degrees. Did I just cook my eggs or do I still have a chance with these?
Thank you!
I am needing your help in what type of sand I should use for the flooring for my girls. I called the local quarry and asked about their finest washed sand as that is what the Chicken Chick suggested I look in to. My options are mortar sand or concrete sand. Do any of you have any experience...
The resevoir that holds water is full, but I can add a bowl of water in there. That may help bring itup a little bit, but then I have to open the incubator to do so. I will see what I can get it up to.
Yes, I candled them and it looked as if there were at least 6 that were viable, but some are Black Copper Marans and being I am somewhat new at this I could not tell all that well with them being their shells are so dark.
Today is day 21 and I am panicking that there is not one single pip in there. I only have a dozen, but still last go around all the ones that hatched were already pipping through. How long do I wait before I should really be concerned?
I have 2 eggs that are cracked all the way around but the chicks have stopped trying to come out. It has been 24 hours since their first pip through the shell. The humidity is at 63 and they are hardly peeping anymore. Do I help them hatch?
Thank you!!!
Oh my gosh, thank you so much for all of your help! I definitely like the idea of those hatching baskets, I will look for those. I am at day 19 now so I am not sure that I will be able to get them in in time. I have Ameraucana's and Olive Eggers that I know look silimar when hatch.
