It's my $10 craigslist special, don't know a name of it. Plastic bottom and 1/4 up the side wall, plactic covered metal bars on top 3/4 of cage. Door on front & top. I love it!

That's the same as my first step brooder except the plastic covered metal bars on top. I love mine too. Love the deep plastic bottom so not so much of the shavings get kicked out. My others are metal with next to no guard and they kick bedding all over out of it.

Sounds a lot like mine... there were a couple that didn't have black skin. I'm glad you're getting babies, though! That is exciting! I bet they're adorable. :love

They are pretty cute. There are three of them. The fourth one didn't hatch. Most expensive mutt chicks ever! But I love them anyway. I just love how they all fit in my hand. Lol!

How are your eggs coming along?

Those are adorable chicks! They look a lot like the ones I hatched, too! What little cuties! I like to think they almost look like baby penguins!

Marie, so bummed for you on what you went through with the "not" cemani eggs! You told me about it, but read the whole story here and, wow, that must have been frustrating and heartbreaking in addition the investment lost. How is your hatch going on the maranfarmer egg? Is it time to candle yet? - Jules
 
Alas, friends, it seems that Ayam Cemani chicks are not in the cards for me anytime soon. After being a very good girl and NOT touching the incubator or the eggs until Day 7, I finally candled yesterday. None of the Ayam Cemani eggs have shown any sign of development. I'm sure they are all/were fertile, but I'm also sure that they had a rough journey being shipped all the way across the country. I won't lie, it bummed me out pretty bad.

Nine BEAUTIFUL Ayam Cemani eggs and no sign of development in any of them. Because I also set them with some other locally bought eggs (and some also shipped), all of which are developing, that leaves me to think that something happened during transit or... they must have froze at some point? They were stalled for a few days in a shipping center, so I'm wondering what temperature they were kept at there.

So... I'll probably give it another try next month. We'll see! I have to keep reminding myself how risky hatcing shipped eggs is to keep things in perspective. I gambled more money on my last trip to Las Vegas than I have on Cemani eggs anyway, but still... This is my last quarter of college, so I will just try to get lost in my studies so that I don't spend all my time thinking about chickens and how badly I want to relocate and start my own hobby farm one day. SIGH.

ONE DAY... I will have a few Ayam Cemani babies!

Oh no! I'm so sorry, that really is a bummer. I've decided no more winter eggs for me because of two sets that didn't develop at all. I hope the next time it works out for you. Best of luck!
