you definatly don't want a bator full of rotten eggs! Are you going to leave the ones you arn't sure of for a little longer and see how they go?
I'm going to candle mine tomorrow....I really hope I know what i'm looking for
This is way harder than I thought it would be
We are hanging for some cool weather! We are in the middle of a heat wave.... While you guys are freezing. above 0... Does that me it gets below zero... Lol
I was born in New Zealand so grew up with snow, but since moving to Australia I haven't seen it.
Of to buy a LED flashlight today...
Just a couple of questions for those in the know
I got this Frizzle Rooster from a backyard breeder, I assume hes some kind of Bantam ( any ideas on his breed).
Now my question is....... I read somewhere that I can't bread him with a fizzzle hen because they won't produce chicks...
First time everything! thanks for your advise, it's hard to work out whats right and whats wrong. It's great to hear from people who have been there done that!
I brought a Ecoglow20 brooding warmer....I'm worried because it looks to small and it isn't a light like other people use.
Any ideas??
Thanks for the welcome Redsoxs!
How many gets have you go in and have you candled them yet? I think that is going to be the most nerve racking part...are the fetile or not :)
Someone posted to use a flashlight and toilet roll..........I think I will give that a go!
