    Sorry to jump in here, I haven't been here for a long time (raising Cochins), just thought I'd give my thoughts on this topic. First, I thing your temp is just slightly cool, I run mine at 100.5. This could account for the slower hatch. The leg thing is probably spraddle leg. Without seeing it I...

    Quote: Experience counts for very little when it comes to pronunciation, I've heard old timers call them "dee-uncles" and that makes me crazy. There isn't even an N in the name. You're going to hear every possible arguable way of saying it, so I figure pronounce it the way you want to. I...

    Quote: Definitely take the paper towels out, they soak up your precious humidity and the are slick which is very bad for the chicks. They need to be able to get enough traction to get their feet under them. If the floor of your bator is wire, just let them rest directly on the wire and then...

    Quote: 16% is good for adults or older adolescents. I have stopped feeding scratch all together. It has very little nutritional value and they will pick it out and fill up on it rather than eating their real food (crumbles). Scratch is the equivalent to candy, so I don't recommend it at all. I...

    Quote: They are still soooo young! I may get slammed at Crossraods because they're so young. I cleaned house last year to make room for the TX flock. The girls now are TX by TN lol. The TX birds definitely brought a lot more white into them! I'll get pictures when I go to Crossroads. Or...

    I would say you could get away with standard hens and bantam roos, but definitely NOT standard roo with bantam hens, particularly a Marans, they are HUGE! I've tried keeping bantam and standard roos together, the bantam roo kept the standard roo in line until the standard found out that he was...

    Quote: If they grow up and stay together, it should be ok if you have enough hens, as they'll have established a pecking order growing up. They do tend to challenge each other a bit for the top spot on occasion, but not as much if they are from the same hatch I've noticed. But if you...

    Quote: Well, I think it's safe to say that you don't have buff mottled as there is no such thing in d'Uccle. Actually, I'm not sure that there is anything that has buff mottled that isn't a project. So, I'm guessing you have either Golden Necks or Splash Mille Fleur.
