It's hard to believe my older chicks are only 11 weeks old today. They look almost like fully matured birds, and are nearly as big as my PRIR and RSL hens, although the cockerels still haven't developed their hackles, sickles, or tail feathers. I can only imagine how big and gorgeous they'll be in another 11 weeks! This cockerel is already very comfortable with the ladies, so I'm thinking about keeping him around for breeding. He's pretty far advanced compared to the other 8 in the flock... and he is the supreme ruler of the roost.



I thought this guy was going to be king of the hill, but he is now a subordinate of the cockerel pictured above...




I really like the dark splash on these pullet's legs, so they'll be breeding stock. The other 4 lighter-legged pullets get to hang out with the laying hens...

This has been the busiest weekend ever! BFF came over and we didn't sit still for a minute! We played farm and built a thing, shopped junk, wandered the woods, built a coolerbator, etc. etc. etc. And THESE BABY GOATS plus MY HUMAN KIDS take up ALL MY TIME.

@campingshaws not sure that helps, but I can take pics of the other two

Yes that helps! Thx!

Actually its been raining throughout day (Maryland) and now its foggy. I did use oven earlier for dinner so Im guessing a combination of everything? I have a sponge in the bottom should i remove it? It seemed to be the only way to get humidity consistent...

If you're having an issue with high humidity, a damp sponge is only going to add to the problem. A sponge had a lot of surface area, which results in a higher rate of evaporation. Removing the sponge should help reduce the rate of evaporation, lowering the RH...

The power supply for my bator fan [@=/u/162672/Sally-Sunshine]@Sally Sunshine[/@] and everyone else. It had the second-highest output of any of the old chargers in the drawer. I was done wiring before I realized it wasn't the strongest I had.

Is this post still in question? I saw a picture of a computer fan posted earlier, and can't remember if you posted it or not. If so, most computer fans operate on 12V DC, and the P/S pictured is only 5.0V... less than half of what the fan is rated for. While it may spin, it will be extremely slow compared to what it should turning, which means far less airflow. If this is irrelevant, please disregard this message...

Extremely relevant. I noticed it was very slow. I'll have to keep looking for a charger. Why does it need the charger type instead of just a regular cord? @Sally Sunshine I have an incu UPDATE for you SWEET LADY. 8 of 9 honas in lockdown in a coolerbator. One looks pretty iffy. After removing the true quitter from original measures, the clutch lost 18% of their body weight. 7 hona eggs on day 8 look good. 11 EE eggs on day 8 look good. 2 clears.
