    Best incubator for dry hatch

    Thank you! That's the one that I bought. I haven't used it yet. My girls aren't laying but hopefully in a couple of months I can use it. I'll use that humidity formula and see how it goes.

    Best incubator for dry hatch

    I have Olandsk Dwarves. A Swedish breed. But like @SweetieChicken234 said, the humidity is disgusting here. When I've let my broody hens hatch, the humidity can easily be 80-90% every day. I have to keep fans on them. And my last broody is still weak from sitting. Not sure if she had a heat...

    Best incubator for dry hatch

    Thank you. It's terrible. I have battery-powered DeWalt fans for my chickens.

    Best incubator for dry hatch

    Thank you! I'm in Florida. I'll try this.

    Best incubator for dry hatch

    Well yes, I agree. I was just using the terminology that is standard and everyone would understand. Where I live it would be impossible to get it dry, even indoors. I just want humidity lower than standard here to see if that is the factor that has been causing low hatch rates.

    Best incubator for dry hatch

    I'm finding that I have to deep dive into reviews to see people's experiences with dry hatching with an incubator or whether it has an alarm or not. So many descriptions are so basic.

    Best incubator for dry hatch

    I'm seeing many that have alarms if the humidity drops too low. Can those alarms be turned off for people who want low humidity?

    Best incubator for dry hatch

    I have a breed that hatches best with low humidity. What are some good incubators under $150 that allow for optimal humidity control? I've done a lot of research but it's so overwhelming and confusing trying to find a good one.

    Silver Spangled Appenzeller Spitzhauben

    It's hard to know without the other sex to compare development. But based on the wattles and comb and age, I would say cockerel.

    Cockerel Puberty at 7-weeks!

    LOL, I think the breed are just early starters. Didn't know Australorps did, too. I learned something new though. One of the "pullets" who got mounted turned out to be another cockerel. That one was a late-blooming breed. I thought they could tell the sexes apart even at a young age. But...

    Olansk Dwarf Cockerel in Central Florida

    Baldr is a 17-week-old purebred Olandsk Dwarf from Greenfire Farms. He's had his Marek's Disease vaccination. He is such a good boy. I hand-raise all my chicks so that they are friendly. He is docile and has never shown human aggression. Unfortunately, I have other roos and he's trying to fight...

    Choosing whether to keep bantam or regular-sized cockerels

    Thank you. Oh, yes they were turned out with the grown hens early on. Maybe that is why all 3 boys are so well behaved. It will just take longer to decide, since I have no obvious problem cockerels, yet.

    Choosing whether to keep bantam or regular-sized cockerels

    Oh, yes, any bullies have to go. That's a good way to decide, too. Glad Big Red is a good boy. So far my 2 bantam boys are crowing and trying to mate. They get along with each other and the older ladies and a few of the pullets keep them in line. My full-sized cockerel hasn't hit puberty yet...

    MANUAL Chicken Coop Door

    Thank you. I would like access. I totally understand your reasoning. And sorry someone acted the fool. That MHCOZY video is really neat!

    MANUAL Chicken Coop Door

    No, manual as in by hand. But I will probably be adding a powered door to the outside of the new coop. Thanks so much for the links! And that would be cool if you shared diagrams. Probably others will like that design as well.

    MANUAL Chicken Coop Door

    Here is what I finally came up with. I cut a hole in the chicken wire and framed up a sliding wooden door.

    Cockerel Puberty at 7-weeks!

    I don't have a question. Just sharing my Ölandsk Dwarf cockerel development. This little boy already thinks he's the man. Started challenging his brother at 3 weeks. Trying to crow at 4 weeks. Now that he is 7-weeks, he is "crowing" every day. Mostly squeaking. :lol: I caught him twice grabbing...

    Can't catch aggressive rooster

    I'm sure you have already found a solution. But wanted to add my 2 cents. I found an animal rescue farm to send my aggressive rooster to. You may have one in your area. He was so aggressive that he couldn't stay with the other roosters, but found a home out in the field with the cows and an emu.

    Thank you. I am getting ready to make it and this is a great idea.
