All I know is whites can carry anything and genetics can get way over my head and FAST!!! I put them in lockdown day 17 keep temps at 100 CALIBRATED TEMPS!!!! you dont have to research them chicky, its one of our breeds we have had for sometime and one we have hatched over and over and over, with them you want to keep your humidity up about 45% and then let us see them average air cell marks day 7 and like I said with these new roosters, most of ours we trashed as they were infertile, sorry about that, we switched them back again, guess the new guys are not up to par, but I sent you the older gals and the bigger eggs so I am hoping they may still be fertile... fingers crossed!! we shall see!!! If someone would give me a choice of a brand newly perfectly made coolerbator vs one of those expensive ones, guess which one I would take? the coolerbators in a heartbeat, I stand by them..... and some coolers even fit the autoturners in them, but there are some cool handmade auto turners if you do your research!

Awesome!! ( now if only someone would give me a pre made coolerbator, then I wouldnt have to worry about if I was doing it right or not!)

OMG that reminds me.... we forgot to lock up and did an hour after dark and hubs runs back in after lock up huffing and puffing and says "we.... huff hufff.......something got two chickens! one in coop 3 run and one in coop 2 run!!!! hufff pufffff" ME..... I had a heartattack, jumped up and said, "well did you make sure that its not still in the coops when you locked them up?" HUBS "no. why would I their dead and they have no feathers, they are down to just the bones already outside in the runs!!! ME: "NOT the dead chickens dork the ...... LIGHTBULB......oh BLEEP......... .......................................................................................................earlier...........................................that day........................... I had kiddo run two leftover meatie carcasses out in two of the runs dang those vicious boogers pecked them clean, I better watch they will EVOLVE

oh boy, that must have been terrifying for a minuet!

You should see what they do to fresh deer carcasses.

Welcome to the thread!

What breed of duck are you incubating?

8 Khaki campbells and one wild Wood Duck.
Ducks are new to me I normally breed chickens.

 

[chicken hawk 33]

I hatched four wild wood ducks that I found their eggs had fell on the ground from nest

Will it be okay to keep my silkies in a big cage

Yes it should be fine.

Welcome! @Hawk12 looks like there are several of us also on the Thanksgiving hatch-a-long thread here

@Sally Sunshine Sorry I saw your question about my dog in my avatar- Sadie is a Pitbull to the best we can tell. She was a rescue and had been malnourished and left to suffer with a dislocated hip. We've had her 4 years now She and her BFF Bunny (one of our rescued cats) absolutely love each other.

Edited to correct tags (had to switch from mobile to desktop to do that correctly!)

Love..that you rescued your pitt! We did that yrs. ago. Had him from 6 months of age, until he had to be put down as an old man. Loved that dog, one of the best dogs we've ever had. Had a lot of children around that dog. He loved the family. Went on a lot of camping and fishing trips with us, never a problem.
