How???? I need to know I have about 70 barred rock chicks that need sexing.

There is a thread with a fancy chart of pictures etc.

More Janoel pictures:

This is where I tried adding water.


My base looks like this:


These were my 47 duck eggs that I chose no to clean:



Note that a large duck egg interferes with the motor, so I chose not to use that spot, but it should be fine with smaller chicken eggs.

Where in the world did you get the egg turner? I have one like this that has the fingers sticking up and I like the fact that they hold more eggs... I bought mine in the 90's and it still works better than new.

Does your Janoel have the 4 holes in the base like mine? If so, might not want to cover those.

Yeah, I think both of mine do.

Chicken question time, just to keep things interesting around here. Does a heritage line of Rose Comb RIR do good in a mixed flock?

My vine is about 2" diameter. Was bought as a seedless Thompson but it isn't. I would like to save the root.

Sorry meant the cane see pictures below the cane from the vine on the left is run into the dirt and brought back up to become the vine on the right and these are tompson seedless

Someone on here within the last several days was saying how RIR's can be bullies to their flock mates; not sure whether they meant Heritage or Production, though. I have not a clue what part a rose comb would play in the equation; never faced that scenario.

Might check with @Ur-ur-ur-urrr

It came with the Janoel, but you can buy just the turner:

Sorry I finally figured out the original picture was to large

The heritage are supposed to be nicer than production reds.

I've been breeding Heritage Reds for years. They are the friendliest birds out there.I have 5 different breeds 70 birds altogether. They get along just fine. Of course roosters and hens in separate areas unless breeding. That being said, it also depends as in any breed, on the breeder. As long as there not breeding mean birds. They will pass that trait down.
