I think a good cross for Cornish is a Perdue OSR.

You can put something on that crack like elmer's glue or tape (?)

To test fertility, you can crack an egg open, look for a tiny white dot, and if it has a clear ring around it, it's fertile. I know there's pics on this mb somewhere. I think they were posted by SpeckledHen.

My humidity is in the single digits with a new hygrometer...in the bator, I don't think I can get away with dry incubation...

They're in...two hygrometers and three thermometers...

No, leave it at 32, it's fine. I'll try to keep mine around 35 percent humidity and 99.5-99.9 temp. I should be okay.

My DH suggested I hatch some silkies because I was so sad losing my silkie roo last month. And I snuck in 10 Splash Jerseys, LOL

OK.....I will leave it where it is.

That is a good question?

I never thought about what was actually being "crossed" with the Cornish?
