Yes...but it leaves so many empty places that could have eggs in them!

If you set 6 and they are shipped 3 will hatch on average. You might only get one pullet.

I like to set at least 10 eggs

Oh okay

Oh okay

This is an introduction to chicken math...Incubators contribute to it in a big way

Hello! I am Alice, the Hermit! I am currently traveling back and forth monthly between Citrus Heights (Sacramento County) and a little rural place that was my grandfather’s out in Colusa County!

I bring with me one little dog, Kaiju, who was an abandoned, abused disaster of fears and anxiety. He has since become a wonderful service dog, proving to be terribly intelligent and very skilled at puzzles.

My new (old) home in the semi-country has two big dogs, and as of July 2018, the Rescue Rangers; a set of rescue chicks!

How much trouble do you suppose a misting system will cause in a river-adjacent area? We’re past a levee but we still get the giant river mosquitoes anywhere we get too much water.

If the mister heads are working correctly, there is nearly no water as the mist evaporates.

No standing water equals no mosquito hatching out!

Mosquito hunt for prey by smelling the animals. Moisture in the air will not bring them in.

It sounds like you are in a very nice place in Colusa!

It’s a little rough these days, but we love it! We’re trying to bring it back to the state my grandpa (the O. G. Hermit lol) worked it into when he was alive, decades back.
He suffered a stroke and had to be moved into the city with my mother and I twenty years ago, and the property was supposed to be getting watched by someone we hired. Instead, it sat abandoned for nearly seven years, and was vandalized & dumped on.
So now we’re out there, my aunt & uncle and me, dogs, and the Rescue Rangers... and the rats… and the giant vampires… and the tiny frogs and bluebelly lizards that are both finally starting to show up again!! (Woohooo!!)

For my NEXT magic trick, I have to figure out how to get a set of Japanese Bantams that are joining the Rescue team… from ALABAMA.
They’re being driven all the way to New Mexico, and from there, I have to find a way to bridge the gap!

Check to see if you can get help on the New Mexico state thread. Someone might be traveling then and could get them closer to you

Spoken like a chicken math GENIUS!

Anyone interested in an Arkansas Blue's breeding pair? Male is splash, female is black = 100% blue offspring. Since they are so rare, I'm looking for someone interested in working with them.

They are great foragers and fliers. If you have rafters, they will be in them. Covered run a must, or they will get out. They are smaller sized, lean birds.

I LOVE chicken math!
