@kfelton0002 Do you like your Instant Pot? I want to get rid of 2 crock pots, rice maker, yogurt maker, pressure cooker.... but concerned the Instant Pot will not live up to the hype. Sorry to the thread totally off topic.

I have been wanting a instant pot. I know several people that have one and they really like it.

At what age can you usually sex FCM? I have 3 that are 1.5 weeks old now. They are with 3 Wyandottes and 12 CRX. They CRX will be moving to their new home this weekend.

I can usually sex them at day one.

My eggs went into lockdown. I hope my temperature is better. I only had 4 hatch the first hatch. It is official my Lavender Ameraucanas rooster is infertile. Out of the two batches none of the lavender Ameraucana eggs showed any signs of being fertile. I am running 100% on my Marans eggs. I will be getting out of Ameraucanas completely. I can focus on my Marans. They are my first love! I am praying for a good hatch!

I did the same thing. Your chicken yard is going to get very quiet. Those Ameraucanas are very noisy! :lau

She is gorgeous! All my Marans look awful now. The roosters have been hard on them.

I took Chooks Mans advice. All roosters/cockerels are locked up except Antonio and that will happen next week. The hens are going to be left in peace unless it is a planned breeding.
