most breeders have more than one line If they are a good breeder different color means different line as I said this just my view on the subject doesn't mean its right so I think your good with your eggs.
I have agreed with everything you've said, and its clear you know more about it than I do, but I didnt think it sounded like she would have a strict SOP program. Thats why I told her her chicks would be fine.
Hot enough for ya today? Geez, its oppressive down here
I'm so confused and can't remember where I was yesterday or the last page I read. I'm am pretty sure you have passed Colson. I'll have to find out whatup latter reading emails took a while and my workday is far from over
One of the questions on the exam should be " you hear the word football, what do you think of?"
If your answer in any way involves Man United or Chelsea... DENIED

I started my incubation history with my DIY incubator .... I currently have one turner and a hatching tray, but I am about to do some modifications so that I will have two turners in it for next year. I used two light bulbs for the heat source, a 12 volt PC fan for air/heat circulation and a STC-1000 digital thermostat -- pretty much the same as Rush Lane's styrobaters but in a cabinet design. When I first tested I had trouble bringing it up to temps, but I lined the interior with 3/4 Styrofoam and it now holds temp like a boss. I have completed three hatches in it so far and have had an avg of 90% success rate with it. When I first got my chickens I told my wife that I just wanted several breeds for eggs. Had no plans of hatching or anything else. Then I found out I had roosters and decided to keep one. The idea kind of sparked in my mind that I could hatch if I wanted to ... but when my nephew started hatching quail in his LG I got the fever. I will be converting all my chickens over the next year or two to Delawares. Nothing against mixing or anything, but my personal preference is to have a purebred line of chickens. I like the idea of keeping track of statistics and breeding traits forward and working out problems and trying to establish a nice ( hopefully great some day ) line of birds. But again ... nothing against a mixed flock neither!! Geesh, in the time it took me to type this post there have been six replies on this thread!!!
You mean there's actually a thread that gets more posts per day than this one? What is it, the "How many times can you hit the reply button discussion thread"?
