My Hatching Journey: the Adventures of a Complete Newbie

[BantyChooks]

I sure will! I feel like I am forgetting something. I have the incubator, candler, a thermometer, scale, and another thermometer/hygrometer combo... anything I'm missing?

You have more than I do. What brands are the thermometers?

Hi everyone..on mobile can't see who's here...

Howdy Phil.

Hey bubbles...
....I am looking forward to trying my hand at hatching some ducklings...

Shoot I already got a brooder box ready... clearly I am excited

Well the one is the one that came with the incubator and the other I got off Amazon it is a Quality Importers HygroSet II Round Digital Hygrometer for Humidors. Is that any good or should I get another one... ?

Awesome! I can't wait to start So random question maybe you or another member can answer... a friend of mine & I are having a "debate" she has ameraucana hens and her rooster is a BCM she thinks that if the eggs are fertile they'll be blue with brown specks. Doesn't the hens breed determine the color/appearance of the eggs? I would think the roosters breed has nothing to do with it... but maybe I'm wrong??? Any idea?

True AM's, or EE's?
I don't know much on chicken genetics, so I'll pass on this one.

Edit: you do mean the offspring's egg color, right? Whether the egg is fertile or not will not change it's color.

e When's your next candle Bubbles?

In 2 days and 15 hours..... Give or take a bit.
