16 eggs, 3 species, 1 homemade incubator: Will it be done?

Mmmhmm

Bed.
Now.
Good night.

Goodnight!

I am quoting you because it will set off your notifications. This is a test.

I wouldn't think it would be normal for any breed either.

@Cyprus
Perfect

I have one serama that is a little over a year old and she has never laid an egg. I keep expecting her to get eggbound and die, but she's still kicking. I know it's possible for a hen to never lay, and definitely older ones will slack off, but that's the best I could say for sure.

I've got 5 "half fake" cockerels from eggs @WVduckchick gave me. Their dads were BC (maybe even the one pictured) and their moms were Chocolate Orps.

Here’s tiny. He is the size of some of my 3 week old Cornish. I think he might qualify as a real "fake" rooster.

I'm hoping the 7 "half fake" pullets I have from this hatch are little brooding machines.

Honestly, I think I was sold a bad hen with a reproductive disorder known to the breeder.
I am never buying from this breeder again because he sold me 3 birds with individual problems.

Good thinking. It's awful when people rip others off. I hope you are able to find a reputable, honest breeder in your area!

Which is probably why he sold them.

I'll probably end up selling some of my second best grow outs, but any birds with known problems, I'll cull and eat.

I actually though about sticking some fake chickens in my quail cage but figured it was to short/not tall enough.
