He's the biggest roo I have but I do have others I could use. I want the big size and I should get it from the others, Right? They all came from the same place so the genes should be there. Am I right on this?

I'm from Louisiana and we use roux in many meals. You can buy the same roux you're making and the traditional Cajun style in almost every store. The oven style roux is sold for the non roux cooking Cajun wanna be's that can't understand the concept of cooking it instead of stinking up...

I've only built one incy and it only took a coulple of hours to dial it in. Here's what I see wrong. The thermostat doesn't need the fan blowing across it to work properly. I would move the fan so that it blows to the opposite wall of the bulb. I would also add another bulb, I used a 14 watt...

I had a pair of Lav Orps in a pen with my Coronation Sussex Splits and did a test hatch with three of the eggs and all 3 hatched. I have one pure lavender chick and two that are black with some reddish brown on the head and was wondering why? They also all have dark slate feet like the lav roo...
