hello all!
Our neighbors have 2 ayam cemani roosters and one has decided to jump the fence often throughout the day and join my flock of hens. They don’t really notice him and because he is always over, I’ve necited I wanted to name him.
What are some good names?
This thread is an interesting one, I want to post and update on things like, I’ve made my own homemade incubator and am hatching the eggs of my chickens now that the rooster is somewhat a new member to my flock.
He doesn’t sleep in our chicken coop yet he hangs out with our girls. I think it’s adorable!
Anyway back to the incubator:
I will attach some photos of the setup.
What I am using is a heating pad and some rice. It is in a plastic tub that is small, I cut a hole in the side to get the heat pad’s wire through. I covered the tub with a blanket.
I also have a bowl of water for the humidity.
There are 6 eggs in there right now and as I candled them, I saw that only really 3 had lots of growth. I could see lots of vanes, especially in the oldest one that was laced on the 16th (4/16/19). The 4th one is really dark yet had something weird inside that I could hardly see.
The other 2... well, they are really dark from the start and I can’t see anything through the shell while candling, no yolk...they are about 3ish days old.
I will post on this thread updates about the incubation and the chicks, and when the rooster comes back over, I will try and get photos of him!
Also, if you have any good names for an Ayam cemani rooster, let me know... because I’m stumped
****pictures of the incubator setup****
The temperatures are about 100 F!!!!!
