I just jumped up and put them right in the incubator at the factory settings (I had it plugged in two days ahead of the eggs arriving so I did have it on at least). Long story short I don't...

Hello all, Well I hatched out some eggs and found that one of our little ones looks to already be coloring in as an EE Rooster. He is only 3 weeks old right now and is a lot of fun. If someone wants him he is free to a good home. I figured it would be easier to keep him sweet if I let him go...
