    buff brahma crosses question

    Well, today or tomorrow was my expected hatch day. So far only one hatched and one pipped. Odd thing is, the only one to hatch is one of my EE eggs. It was from a EE rooster that was mostly white. This not THE rooster, but very similar coloring. The hen it came from was a blue splash and the...

    buff brahma crosses question

    Thanks for the input ksacres. I know the brahmas are far from best for producing egg laying machines. Like I said, I have barred rocks, sex links, rhode islands EE, etc. as well as leghorns. I sell eggs to friends and neighbors, (and no I don't make a profit lol, hardly pay for the food, but I...

    OK, so I have a buff brahma rooster with an assortment of good egglaying hens (white leghorn, barred rock, rhode island red, amber sexlink, gold comet and easter eggers. Decided to do some incubating with this mixture of eggs. Kinda purposefully hatching more of the leghorn eggs than others...

    Pullet or Roo?

    def pullet. I learned from acquiring several young supposedly pullet leghorns. Got up a month ago to crowing. I supposedly had no roosters. Few days later had 2 crowing at each other. The roos have a larger "earpiece" Seems to be a good way of telling them I see now from an earlier age.

    just built incubator

    well, determined one to be a quitter a few days ago and had another due a couple days ago. It was pretty dark green so candling was difficult, but could see no movement or hear nothing. I decided to poke a little hole in the big end of egg and check it out. No movement at all, so pecked away a...

    just built incubator

    aside from the power outage, my biggest problem has been humidity. I'm having to really work at it to keep it around 40%

    just built incubator

    well I hope so. I had 16 eggs in there yesterday. Candled them all and only one was not going along as it should. I was happy about that percentage, then today happened and kinda busted my bubble. This is my first time incubating.

    just built incubator

    OK, had a disaster today. I have my incubator full of eggs at varying hatching dates, but quite a few set to hatch in about a week. I came home today and the power was off. It was off for a total of about 7.5 hours and the temp in incubator dropped to about 70 degrees. Am I screwed?
