So I just got FB a couple weeks ago to talk to breeders. And I was messing around with it last night and found a hatching group. So I asked to join and boy, I don't think it's for me at all! There is a sticky about the way they hatch and you either hatch their way or leave! ie. All chicken eggs must be sprayed with 50/50 water/listerine daily, humidity must be measured by wet bulb, and "dry incubation" is the work of the devil, leading to all splayed legs, curled feet, DIS, and everything else. Humidity must be kept 60-70% the whole incubation, even 80...the higher the better because there is no way to drown chicks. And if you don't agree then you're not welcome. I didn't read the sticky (I didn't even know there was one) and made a couple helpful comments here and there and was instantly corrected and told I was 100% wrong. I completely missed the security of "he said/she said"! These guys made SC look like a saint!!
 
Bubs and ms out in sunshine.
KC gave up on the eggs and runs with the chicks since I rearranged the coop to hunt for the chick thief. It was definitely a rodent of some sort.
I now have 7 1 weeks olds, only 1 is yet to start feathering. The 15 month olds are developing nicely. I have 1 silkie that white and I think Is true to type. Now that we have had 2 days of sunshine I think I might have to start clipping some wings to keep them in the yard.
Also the month olds are all now using the roost with the adults - even the silkies and frizzle.

I bet not one of them has ever had a 100% hatch either.
