Thanks for all the replies and information. The tiny hen is going to be a pet-she's laid one very tiny egg but it was beautiful- I'll keep her because she's cute and sweet, just not use her as foundation stock. The ugly rooster may be soup if he doesn't get better looking. I am going to go...

Here's my ugly boy. He actually looks nice and shiny. He is about 6 months old. He is developing a few off white feathers in his saddle area.

I have 3 supposedly high quality BCM. A hen from one breeder that is gorgeous, feathered legs, beautiful shiny black feathers with copper necklace. The other two came from another breeder who claims to specialize in BCM. Of the 18 shipped chicks only a handful arrived alive. Only two survived...

Ok, they go to day 10 and we go from there. Thanks.

On day 5 I realized I had failed to plug in the turner? How critical is turning the eggs them first week? These are my eggs so tossing and starting over is not that big a deal... But did I just screw up to bad to keep going?

Setting 24 of my own tonight. RR/ BR cross.

Membranes appear ok, not shrunk over chick, but they are a bit wet. Not sure how wet is to wet. If they had hatched that wet they would have made a mess, but I think they expired several days before d-day. I did note that the yolk was not totally gone. I am going to modify the bator with an...

All vents are open. I keep them open from day 1. I have at CPU fan installed also to keep air circulating.

I consistently have "quitters" at about 16-18 days. Last batch of 12 only 1 hatched- right on time. I waited another 6 days for the 6 that candled and showed near term maturity. Never hatched. Did eggtopsy and it looks like they are quitting during the last week before hatch day. Not sure...

I have a few Rhodeisland-barred rock boys. At what age should I process? Right now they are about 16 weeks. My plan is to lock them up for a few weeks and fatten before d-day. Right now they are free ranging all day. I understand they will not compare carcass wise with a cornishX but I will...

I'm in. Set 13 eggs due on 1-10. All from my on flock so they will be BR-RIR or PR-RIR cross. They are mystery eggs because my hens who free range during the day decided to lay 13 in a secret spot that I didn't find until there were 13 there. So rather than sell them to my customers, I...

Candled this morning and all of my own eggs are developing. About 80% of the shipped eggs look like they are developing so I am stoked!!!!!

I'm in. Set 14 RIR eggs from luckypickens plus 6 of my own BR/RIR cross on November 23.

My husband has a Duck Naked plucker he uses to process ducks from hunting trips. Anyone used one for plucking chickens?

I have a few black sex link (RIR/BR) chicks that are about 4 weeks old. Might keep a couple to add to the layer flock, but am leaning towards feeding up and eating the rest. I know they are probably going to be skinny compared to store bought, but I think I'll try feeding the game bird feed...
