Silkie Lovers, Show Off Your Fuzzy Chickens Here?!

[MysteryChicken]

Hello again!

I've decided on two names for them

Porridge and Pudding!

I'm not sure which to call what though...maybe the small one pudding and the bigger one porridge? Or the other way?

Those names sound cute. I think the first way of naming them would be good.

 

[Fur-N-Fowl]

I think I may stick with that then!

How are your chicks doing?

 

[MysteryChicken]

Here are my new project chicks all fluffed up.

 

[Fur-N-Fowl]

Aw that last one is such a bright yellow

The chicks are doing good.

It just has alot of the wheaten genetics.

How often do you hatch? And do you have a big incubator and brooder? You always seem to be popping out chicks!

I've just got the Rcom 10 pro plus which only fits 10 normal eggs and around 20 Quail I think? It's an amazing incubator but just has a small capacity.

I only have a small brooder though. We're clearing out space so I can try and squeeze a bigger one in because I want to hatch more chicks. It's contagious this hatching thing...

I was using broodies. I have to clean out my incubators. Each one holds 56 eggs. These are the last ones I'm hatching this year.
You're incubator sounds interesting.

Oh right!

Your incubator holds quite a few then, the cleaning of them is the iffy part...mine in loads of bits and pieces so it's a pain to clean at times. Mainly around the mechanics of it because I have to use little paintbrushes.

I have used broodies too. My silkies no surprise there! But I can only do it at certain times due to my showing schedule. They're great mothers though.

Yep. If I were to fill both of my incubators with eggs, there'll be a total of 112 eggs to hatch.

I used up a whole large roll of paper towel cleaning out my first incubator. I understand how difficult it is to clean out an incubator.
