    Do GLW combs redden early?

    This is my first time raising Golden Laced Wyandottes... They're just over 4 weeks now and my *gut* tells me that I've got a pair... Even though it's still early to tell, AND even though they're both pretty red in the comb already 🤣🙈🤣 Oh AND even though the colouring is prettier/more dramatic...

    My DIY Incubator!

    I'm sorry to have left you hanging! In my "defence" I'm a Mom with 5 young kids and a million projects on the go at all times 🤣🤣 This particular project was a definite win!! It worked so well. 46 out of 50 hatched and are doing fantastic 🥰

    My DIY Incubator!

    Yes it's a fan from an old printer! I poked pencil sized vent holes on all 4 corners near the bottom, plus one on the fan sized and the opposite side, closer to the top. It worked absolutely amazing - better than my hovabator 1588 I think :) will post update below! I'm sorry that your first...

    At which stage did your shipped eggs fail?

    And the "unknown" Svarts had some good veins, and weak life, but what looked like the beginning of blood rings. So I think I might've caught them right before they're about to lose their fight 😓

    At which stage did your shipped eggs fail?

    Thank you! The "unknowns" were good looking air cells and decent veins but no visible life/movement, but I'm optimistic that embryos were just hiding, because I didn't see anything that looked BAD. And a couple were too dark to see any veining but the air cells looked good. The 2 "duds" were...

    At which stage did your shipped eggs fail?

    I'm sure there's a broad range of answers to this question, but my curiosity has gotten the best of me... If you incubated shipped eggs, did you notice that they never really started developing? Or did they make it to a certain point and then quit? These are my Day 8 candling results, and I'm...

    My BCM pullet egg 🤦🏼‍♀️

    I know for sure which one laid which yesterday, so that's a start. I have a feeling I'm going to end up with dark from both though - we'll see!!

    My BCM pullet egg 🤦🏼‍♀️

    At the time of posting, I wasn't sure... But just got a second egg for the day, so they're definitely both laying now :) One was the super darkest egg, and the other was pretty light. So now I'm super curious to see how this progresses! Is one laying light and one dark? Or did one darken over...

    My DIY Incubator!

    I have two hygrometers inside, and a round plastic tray with 3 different sized water channels. (it may or may not have been from a black forest cake 🙈😜🤣). Humidity stays at around 40% right now even with it DRY, so I don't have to add any for now. (same deal in my hovabator... RH is just hight...

    My BCM pullet egg 🤦🏼‍♀️

    Oh 100%!!! I just read my post back and I sound horribly unkind 🙈. I absolutely don't blame for the egg colour!!! It's beyond her control - it's just a bummer! (The scaly leg mites was an honest mistake/oversight, and it's not her fault she lives 2.5 hours away 🤣🤣. It just all kind of added up...

    My BCM pullet egg 🤦🏼‍♀️

    Oh no! Double whammy! This lady is *supposed* to be a very reputable breeder.... But I've had nothing but trouble so far with her birds 💔. I drove 4+ hours return to pick them up... Only to get home and discover one had a HORRIBLE case of SLM 💔💔. All three are ridiculously skittish, they very...

    My DIY Incubator!

    Just wanted to share :) My Hovabator is full of shipped eggs right now, and it was driving me crazy having all of these beautiful eggs on the counter from my own ladies... So I built another incubator! 🥰 Ignore the temp readings, that was just from having it open for a long time while setting...
