I made a Deba knife as a present my mother

It’s Partridge Rock.

My brain doesn't work like it used to.
A product of staying at home.

Production Red.

That’s a RSL.

So, I just turned the eggs and gave them a quick candle since a couple have hairline fractures. I'm confused. Temp is 100 since my digital thermometer is ruined and I'm not about to incubate at my normal temps without it. Some of these eggs look like they're on day 3 or 4. I candled them as soon as I got them home to check for cracks. I didn't put them in the bator until a few hours before I posted here that I'd set them. There was no noticable development and the room I hatch in is almost always on the cooler side.

I know it's not because of a warm spot. They're spread pretty evenly across the bator. I'm hoping these don't end up quitting later on. That would be a lot of eggs to toss.

That’s a RSL.

Ok, production type Rhode Island Red, then.

 

[BullChick]

Nooooo! Production Red, Red Star, and all the other names are RSL. Red sexlink.

I just turned the eggs and when I put the top back on one of the windows popped off. I mean, I fixed it, but that was horrible. Just the excuse I needed to upgrade to a digital.

 

[BullChick]

I hate when the windows pop out, but still love my foam incubator.

 

[BullChick]

Now argue with me about RSL!

Same. I'm just upgrading to the Genesis from the 1602N.

Now argue with me about RSL!

I've seriously always known production reds to just be production type RIR. Poor coloring and body type with improved laying. Almost zero chance of going broody.
