Hello from Montana

[TnT Poultry]

I am a new member, however have searched the site many times for valuable info and advice! I have a rainbow flock of 50 or so standard hens and a Partridge Rock Roo. I have set eggs in the incubator twice this year and hatched 10/12 fertile eggs and 16/18 fertile eggs in my Rcom20 incubator. Will set 18 more on March 9. The last 2 batches we sold/given to my cousin. Love chickens!

Greetings from Kansas, TNT, and

! Great to have you here! I'm a hatching rookie myself but it seems that 1 roo for 50 hens might be insufficient if you wanted to make sure the eggs you are attempting to hatch are fertile....again, I'm a hatching newbie and could be way off base. Good luck to you and have fun with your birds!! Have fun!!

My poor chicks leg is crazy super swollen and kinda discolored where the swelling is and she's limping and the other chicks were trampling her so we separated her but shes kinda like crying as she breathes and this just happened out of nowhere she was healthy a day ago

Yes, I agree that 1 Roo may not be enough, but my second Roo died of Mareks I believe. I got rid of all the others. This guy has managed to stay nice enough to stay around. I have little kids and naughty Roos don't stay long. I am getting 5 straight run blue laced red Wyanadottes and hope for a nice Roo there for next year. My first batch of eggs I had 12/18 fertile, second batch 18/18 fertile. Not sure if that was just luck.
