    I love this idea. where did you purchase the fan ? Also what did you use for the auto turner? I'm going to use a digital thermostat as opposed to the coils (out of lack of electrical experience and I prefer not to electrocute myself in the process):P. Awesome job!

    Silkie thread!

    This lil guy was born with these weird feathers...I thought it was bumps on the skin but a closer look and seen his little feathers are rough looking, what could cause this? The other silkies born were smooth.

    is it normal for silkies to lay white eggs? the ones I've gotten are always tan-ish. but my 1 year old silkie hen just started laying 2 days ago (my first egg eeeee!) and it was white. then this morning I check again and same spot another white egg.

    I candled the first 10 and the yolks were kinda just floating, i'ma candle again on day 3 just to be sure, I 'm still new at this so I have no idea what i'm looking for lol. I just don't want to mess it up again. I have the LG turner I just got. I think I'll turn it on when I get back from town...

    Do you wait 3 days to turn your shipped eggs?

    I did candle a few before I put them in there and the yolks were floating on the first 10 or so I assumed the rest were as well. I'm going to candle again on day 3 just to be sure. No blame on the shipper she packaged them perfect, its just a risk you take when getting shipped eggs. Its...

    One of chicks had spraddle leg. I thought she was ok, she still had a slight limp but was walking around a lot better so I put her back in the pen with the other babies. Well I went in there a little while ago and her head was arched down toward her chest. I picked her up and she seems to not be...

    Do you wait 3 days to turn your shipped eggs?

    Quick question :) I have put my eggie's in the the incubator, in the turner but I have it off. I've heard you wait 3 days to turn them if they were shipped.

    We spent the day on the road, hubby finally caught chicken fever and decided he wanted Seramas so we drove to vacherie and picked some up from jerry schexnayder.
