Showed hubby the naked chicks he wants some so bad lol

Probably most husbands would like naked chicks....

Lol, I actually love those. Then again, I have a fondness for strange chickens of any kind. I'd look into getting some, but I get the feeling the VT winters wouldn't agree with them.

Can you imagine them living in the hot hot areas..Arizona, New Mexico..etc? The would need sunscreen! Yeah, I would worry about them in our winter here too..although, pretty sure I wouldn't be getting any too soon.

Picture day!!!

I tried hatching some a few months back, I only got one, thought it was a cockeral, but..it's a girl!

When I'm hatching out certain matings or wanting to know which run ( by rooster) I use those big I think they are a 3 quart size clear containers that strawberries come in. They have the air holes and work great. I put as many eggs that fit in them without too much crowding. I even use the smaller ones if I can't get the bigger ones.

thats a great idea! some people also use them for boredom busters in the coops in the winter

I'm done hatching... I candled my last lavender ameracauna egg and no movement so I poked a small hole to see and found a late quitter.

oh crap! I hope I run into pics as I read on!!!

Well, only a few more days. Just finished the Quail coop


Complete with removable poop board

I'm very proud

love it!!!!! you should be proud!!!

@Sally Sunshine I love this thread!
Thanks for creating it

I candled all 30 eggs last night..and they are all doing well. What in the world..that is a lot of chicks! Thing I worry about though, is that those air sacs are very very small. :/ I didn't hardly have any moisture going on, still don't. Like I said about this new bator, it sure holds the temp and humidity. Will remember this next time. There are some that are perfect size for 11 days..now 12..but will see. I hope those air sacs can still get larger!
