I have 2 week old brahmas that i put on my back porch every morning. They are off the heat lamp. I bring them in at night and put them in a dark closet. They are almost completly feathered in

I want chicks. Get them ready for next year's laying.


I want some Easter eggers.. olive eggers.. Ameraucanas.. cream legbars. Whatever gives me some different colored eggs (blue, green, olive) and hopefully birds that aren't black (I like to be able to tell my birds apart).


Wonder if I'm too late in the year to try. :/

do u plan to buy chicks or hatch?

I would try to wait until spring because by the time your birds went into the coop it would be almost New Years.

Not concerned about that, it's more finding chicks/hatching eggs at this time of year.

I've had chicks at all times of year. As long as they have a source of heat they're fine.

I don't have a bator, just friends with bators. Haha

right. Just thinking about once you put them in the coop since they won't have ALL their feathers just yet

you know I will be happy to hatch for you if you have the eggs. But just beware my hatch rate is no too good.

Completely dry incubation start to finish works well in our humid climate. One of my favorite hatches was a Christmas Eve hatch. Merry Christmas to me!!
10 for 10 that year.

I usually do dry up until lockdown. Then i try to get my humidity about 65%. Ive had problems with my humidity being too low 40% during lockdown and have had to assist hatch.

Really? I have problems with humidity.. The eggs are usually viable all the way to the end but then they just don't hatch. The only one time I had a good hatching was when it rained on hatch date.
