It is 10:52 right now where I am.. Is it 11 hours or 12? As for the incubator I built, here's the link.. I realized that everyone was correct in saying it was too thin so I wrapped it in cardboard to insulate it better.. but, I don't have pictures of it after I did that... I will be posting pics once i put the eggs in it when i get them... https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=231301

oh, that's the word (interbreed) , i can add some glossary to my brain at least.

but it's not easy to remember a new word if i don't use it frequently.

what? eat them? no, i just will eat them when i have to, eg: feast or medicine. it's great to have many roost that will ensure me to wake up always earlier at morning, we can make a "choor(is that the word to team that sing a song?" consist of roosters.

the problem maybe when they peck each other, they will be bald just like all of my chicken now.

so what do you suggest if i have bunch of roost?

thank you for the support, this will make me have more "spirit (i'm not sure, spirit mean evil or "push" to do something?" to hatch the "incoming" eggs.

Enthusiasm for hatching eggs is something you already have for sure! I just don't want you to be too disappointed if that hatch rate is low at first.

Yes, you may have a rooster choir in a few months!
They will get along well when they are young, but when they are old enough to start noticing the hens they will start to fight. That's when you pick the ones friendliest to you to keep and find homes for the others (your belly can be a new home, too). If you have too many they can fight until they kill each other, even. So better to thin them out than let them go to waste.

I split my roosters up when they get too frisky. Right now I am building a breeder coop with 5 different areas for the breeds to live. Then I can begin interbreeding. I do mine for fun, to take to shows (competitions for prettiest chickens). My daughter will take notes on my progress for her science project in school.
Best rooster/hen ratio seems to be 1 rooster for 6-8 hens. That makes fertility good and makes rooster happy.

Yes.. Styrofoam can be very flammable but there are resources on the net to help you build it safely.. I am not the best person to talk to as far as building them goes since i just built my first one and still waiting on my eggs.. Might be able to help in that area more once I know my eggs will hatch... But, there are lot of people on here that are more than willing to help out as you have seen..
