That’s neat!! Is the fee gene the one that is sexable or it just looks cool or??

Nope, it's the pharoah base that makes it feather sexable What Fee does is remove the red pigment from feathers.

I was waiting until closer to the winning time to announce/bug everyone to go take a guess.

What's the issue with the heat?

My current hypotheses are:
Thermostat and ceramic bulb thing are causing too large of temp fluctuations. By the time is clicks back on and the bulb warms back up the temp has dropped too low. If I turn up the thermostat temp it won’t click off until the temp is over 100. I also question if my heat circle is too small and the warm spot limited to the floor right underneath and the surrounding air doesn’t warm enough.
I am trialing just an always on incandescent bulb but have to figure out the right wattage and/or distance away to keep it. It also seems like even when a thermometer measures over 100 the air really isn’t that warm.
So, that kind of stuff.
