You can calibrate the temp on the incubator as well so when u set it to 99.5 it should be 99.5 in the incubator as well.

Sounds amazing!!!!!! My favorite Ee/Cochin cross baby from last year is splash with big cheeks and lays pretty green eggs. I was thrilled that one turned out to be a pullet. The other 2 are blue, one lighter one really dark, and pretty but no cheeks. Some pics of my CCL and then my splash...

My CCL has an amazing crest. If that passes on to the babies they would be the cutest "olive eggers" (more mint since Cochins are a lighter tan and not the dark brown like Marans)

That is great. I haven't tried craigslist yet. But when glancing there I haven't seen chicks or anything listed in my area.

Would CCL and either blue or splash Cochin make them sexlink? I don't know enough about genetics. I know my EE/Cochin crosses come out cute, lay green eggs (assuming all since the 3 I kept do), and so far are great layers. Lol

I just put chicks on my local Facebook chicken pages. Would love to sell out before hatching!!!

The LFC eggs I am testing I will sell all of those. Then I have eggs for lemon owlbeard, lavender Ameraucana, salmon Faverolles and Chocolate Emeralds (a breed the breeder is working on that lay green eggs). I want to keep 1 pullet from each but don't want to keep all the babies to grow out...

I have 25, I think, shipped eggs coming next Tue or Wed. And I think 12 on Mon. Lol. And I plan on hatching some from my own flock this year. Hoping I can sell a lot as straight run. Some I will keep and grow out so I can pick who I want to keep. Depending on how well selling them as...

LOL think he only really knows the roo that doesn't like him (it is the first chick that HE picked out. LMAO!!!!!!! so technically "his") and the "BIG GUY" (my other roo) and my sweet buff brahma that likes to hang out with us when we go in the run. other than that he really has no clue...

Welllllll.... I would love to keep 15 but don't have the coop or run space and after I made my husband expand both last year he told me I can't add on anymore. 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Lol. I talked my husband into 8, he was thinking 4. Then added 2 more to that order. But one passed away at 9 weeks and 2 turned out to be roos so rehomed 1. So 3 yrs ago I had 8 to start.... I now have 30 and getting ready to set more next week, but can only keep 4 this year.

Lol. I have 1 in each coop and 1 in both sides of the run. Lol. And close to hatch time have one on the incubator. I check to see who lays in what box.

I say it often that many times my hens are MUCH louder than my roosters!!!!!

You should hear my SF go off if someone is in the box she likes to use. She will go non stop till they are out. :gig

My faverolles walk around making noise pretty much all day. LOL They are such complainers! Freya is just too cute!!

Awwww you have favaucanas??? I would love one!!!

WOW now that is a LOT of eggs!!!!!!

wasn't that the hatch that after it you said since fertility was so good you weren't going to stack again? :lau :lol: I am still shocked at how many you had then. The closest I have come to a full incubator was the 21 that I hatched. I think around the 11th I will be setting 24. It was...

WOOHOO looking good!!!!

Oh great tips! Why didn't I think to take them out and use the turner to rotate the others! I was trying to spin them by hand under/beside the top ones! LOL that was a PAIN! now I know better for next time! You have given me all your amazing ideas for stacking. LOL
