I had five of them and all turned out to be Roos, and hateful as all git out, had to cull them all, they were feed store chicks, were suposed to be Red sex links,red sex link roos are white with red spackling, these stayed red, some matured quick and some late, the only way i could tell was the pointed shackle and saddle feathers, and you are very welcome.

I bought the swing on sale. I have a old cypress a frame from a swing. Today we will get netting to make it a tractor for my young birds.They can meet the flock in safety. Pam

Sounds great!

Amazingly enough we ended up having a chick that I was SURE wasn't going to make it, but it did live. I think it was in a colder part of the incubator. We gave it some barely diluted liquid poultry vitamins. I really did it just because the kid didn't want to give up on the chick yet...... And it was still breathing, so I couldn't just leave it. The next morning it was lifting it's head, sitting up, in a wobbly manner. Now though it already had a mind of its own. So we have an even 10.

I'm still pretty excited that we have blue chickens. Now if only they are all hens. HA!

I've been told on the HAL thread that with still air incubators to avoid the problem of having a chick in a cooler spot be behind all of the rest of the chicks I should just rotate eggs. Some people that are hand turning their eggs are moving them every time they turn. I have an automatic turner. So we have settled on moving them every 2 days.

Thanx, no it was not me who asked about the milk. I asked about turmeric. I do have a question though. A neighbor got 4 hens from me and I told him I feed my hens rice & pasta sometimes. But he fed the hens raw rice and their poop has blood in it. could the rice have torn the intestine? I don't know what to tell him I always cook my rice and pasta for my hen

You couldn't get that lucky!! But I've heard that feed fermented feed does throw more pullets. This is per Beekissed. She has a 75% girl hatch rate.
