I second minihorse about the eco 20. Love mine. My test hatch I didn't even keep track of humidity or temp. Still 100% hatch. With my last set of shipped eggs everyone that made it to lockdown hatched.

My chocolate AM's are starting to fully hatch! I've got a chocolate, a black split and one pure black so far and today at noon is actually day 21.

Wanted to add I toe punch month old CCL's since I have a pair from CJwaldon and the quad from mlaff so I know which are which. I only did the pair and they bled a little but it wasn't even a drop. Think month old would be the limit for toe punching here. One did let out a peep when I did it but the other was quiet. Just food for thought if anyone else is thinking of doing this for permanent marking reasons.

Yay for the great hatches, minihorse! Glad that adorable broody got 100%. Mine are split into two batches because I had to throw a homemade together to fit them all hehe. The first batch goes into lockdown tomorrow. So excited!

That's interesting about the DE. Hopefully the food grade is indeed non-cancer-causing. I buy it by 50 lb bags and use it for everything. Dust baths, mixed in bedding, in the dog run, in litter boxes, in everyone's water (chicken,duck,dog,cat,etc, I even mix it in our drinking water from time to time)..

So looking forward to the Mt Orab swap! Although I'm being lazy and need to get my rear in gear.. No idea what I'm bringing still.. need to get some cages other than cat carriers.. And I reckon everyone should wear a name tag with their user and real names.

is it bad that I officially own more breeds of chickens that I can list in my signature line?

Well, wouldn't that depend on the definition of "bad?" Like in the 70's being 'bad' was really being 'good...'

So I'd go with you just need a little more space on your BYC signature line...

Are my toes edible?

Oh yeah, the left is a pure black AM and the right is a chocolate AM. I've got a black split still drying and more pips!
