Oh sorry!!! All three are 8 weeks old! I was too excited to post and left out info.
The known roo also has green and brown mixing in with his black and dark white spotted feathers, but the middle unknown chicken one is still only exclusively dark grey with white spots! (Another thing to add to...
We have one definite roo and one definitely pullet.. but we're all having doubts about this middle chicken!
'Her' waddle is huge and red, but her feet are slimmer than the roo, her feathers are wider and shorter.. her mannerisms are confusing too. Is it possible that she's a roo but since she...

I've also found that if I put a heating pad UNDER the incubator on its lowest setting, the...
First time incubating, I wish I would have done more research on incubators... I just figured that if an incubator was being sold it would incubate eggs.... This is an old model and doesn't even have a way to add water in without opening up the incubator. Can't keep temperature stable at all and...
