    Incuview Incubator

    I've had mine about a year. Got it as a gift. Just ordered eggs from Meyer hatchery. Question: My incutherm reads about 1.5 degrees warmer than the incuview thermometer. Should I calibrate the incubator to the incutherm?

    Barnevelders

    Here's our Barnevelder from MPC. The kids named her Fleur. Even though I've read that hatchery stock don't lay especially dark eggs, hers are much darker that my other brown egg layers.

    Yes, she definitely can be :) I would either put her in an elevated wire-bottom cage for a few days (sitting the cage on something as low as a 2x4 should work) or if that doesn't work, putting her in a shallow tub of cool water can bring her body temperature down. Make sure you don't stick her...

    Barnevelders

    Townhen, I wanted to follow up on my Barnevelder from MPC. She is absolutely gorgeous! Surprisingly close to type base on my reading. She's the jumpiest in my mixed flock but a great layer of dark brown eggs. Love her! How did yours turn out?

    I need some advice from my pennsylvania peeps. 9 of 10 hens in my mixed flock are now regularly laying. With the help of ceramic eggs everyone lays in the nest boxes except my double laced barnevelder. We find her eggs nearly daily in the run here and there. She just started laying about 2...
