How do you get the humidity up higher? More containers of water? I have one sponge in and the water dish filled. It has never gone over 68% humidity. 64% is about average with that set up.

I take a papertowel and drape it over a corner of the humidity pan. It wicks up enough water to help raise the humidity for me. Turks I've been doing like 80% or so humidity.

Excuse me, but nobody was attacking Sally, unless she sells mixed breed chickens as pures? I think you might be confused yourself, since Mama merely asked why it was funny and I stated that she has excellent stock. I'm not sure how you equate that with "ganging up on one person".

Look I'm not trying to pick a fight I am just saying we are all on here as friends helping one another no one is on here to bad mouth anyone and I am not confused I read everything more then once before I even commented, maybe you should re read it all!

Well, there's no excuse for 10 roos, when pullets are paid for, at all! Now, let me ask, how old are the birds you have? Are you positive you have 10 roos? Wyandottes can be tricky, that's why I ask. Next (I just learned this first hand) When hatching BLRW eggs you will actually get Blue Laced Reds, Black Laced Reds(look like GL's), and Splash Laced Reds. All 3 colors come from the same parents. I just hatched out 12 and got 4 of each color.

I'm not positive about the Roos... But close to it. I'm waiting for another week or two to be positive.
The chicks are 2 different ages. At least. The splash and the black (or possibly a BLR) are probably about a week older. I also had a BLR who died within a day or so after I got them. I think they are about 7 weeks now. The splash is starting to get a red comb. I know the 3 colors come from breeding a BLR to a BLR, but I was told these chicks were from a splash and a black, which makes these two colors impossible if that were true.
The other chicks I am positive are glr. I will take pics tomorrow or Friday and post them. I have some on here already from 2 weeks ago,

I think the person just flat out lied. I think these were just chicks they didn't want, and they sent them, thinking I wouldn't know the difference. They were older than I was told they would be, and I'm lucky they made the trip at all. I'm basically trying to pick up and move forward, and will think twice before buying from someone I don't know again.

I checked out the other thread. Gotta say, sorry for your luck. It does seem that you were taken advantage of. As far as the wing sexing on mine, it worked. I was pretty sure of what I had by day 3. I was hoping I was wrong, because I only kept 6 of them, and out of that, 4 were boys. The girls feathered much more quickly than the boys, too. You should post those new pics, I'd be interested in them, and I think Border Brigade might be too!

Well maybe someone should explain it to me. How is asking what is funny attacking someone? She said LOL and I asked what is funny. So how was that bad mouthing anyone?

Did I say something about Sally that I missed maybe?

And I finally hatched something cute!!!

Cute indeed! And I think your ducks and geese are cute, so don't say this is the only cute thing!

Really !!!...didn't know they were future babies... speaking of eggs ...I wonder if eli will notice if I slip the couple turkey eggs in with the ducks,,,,just curious what happens...I have 3 from this week so far..

GAH!!! Everyone is making me jealous with duck eggs...my stupid ducks refuse to lay!

They are from Dale Zimmerman. He said they could be sexed by foot/leg color also. Dark = girl. Light= boy. Dominiques!

Will have to remember this, as Fiancee wants Dominiques. He wanted buff orps cause they're supposed to be large....and mine of course are mini-sized.

I'm willing to hunt him!

Bar, horn, whats the difference? They all have legs.

one will give you blue eggs, one will give you white...no big deal LOL

Nope, youi're not near me at all. Galgo: I will be at Delmarva, my son is showing banty cochins and BCMs, my daughter is showing Orpingtons I am sooooo ******. That dang fox is back, walking around my property lilke he owns the joint. I have no idea how the fire the gun... I know, I know, it's all my fault, Missy offered to show me several times. I dunno, the gun is so loud. and heavy. and scary. But DANG I wish I knew how to shoot it right now!

The offer is still open....

.22lr rifle, my wife loves hers and there is little to no kick. I might even have an extra one if you wanted to buy one.

Don't say stuff like this...Fiancee might actually start to condone me being on here...LOL

I like the 22 also, didn't want to suggest that though with how far that bullet will travel if she misses. blarney we will get you set up....part of the summer get together will have to be target practice.....we do have a few people for first aid.. right..

Awesome, combining my favorite pastimes!

South Central PA! Starting my first flock in a few weeks!

I wanna!

hi everyone, I posted pics of my chicks on my album. It's also in my signature. Any one wanna take a peek and give me a gender guess on the ones you can? Would greatly appreciate it! https://www.backyardchickens.com/g/a/6395984/my-flock/ thanks!!!

Ummm....your sig asks for help....unfortunately...around here, the only kind of help we provide is making you want/get more types/quantities/species.

gaa.. sorry.. hi all new peeps.. Everyones ducks/chicks/silkies/ puppies and children are adorable...

I shouldn't be on the internet today.. I am just such an idiot..

Never take back a MAN! Ugh.. Had him gone. but noooo.. stupid girl here..

Only joy today was finding a egg on my lunch break! 2 more and I have my 1st full Dozen!

Sometimes the heart doesn't know how to listen to the head. This does not make you an idiot....it makes you a loving human.

I thinking a out a pair of skilkies and a pair of polish. And I am in cumberland almost to adams county!

Then you are right by me! I'm in Gardners, on the Cumberland side of the line.

OMG! LOVE!

HEY THERE! BOY, LOTS OF US ON HERE!!!!! I HAD NO IDEA!!!

Look at the map in my signature, you can see where most everyone is located. Send me your zip and I'll add you.

I agree. When I bought my BLRW last year, the guy almost didn't charge me for them, as he had hatched eggs from someone else, and didn't realize that you can get the 3 colors, he thought they were mutts! I love that I have one of each color. My roo is the splash, and I have one of each of the other colors in my girls.

Oh No! I got edited! Can't even remember what I typed there.

I read it as p i s * e d, if that helps, LOL And I don't blame you!

Have you complained? A good seller will try and make it right.
