Really?? I'm wondering if I can run some of my newer chicks with my cockerel, too. And here's a thought-- tell me what you think. I'm about to hatch out more chicks this weekend. Instead of getting my brooder set up, do you suppose I can throw those chicks in with my broody who is raising my 10 day old chick right now? Would I chance that? She seems VERY motherly and freaks out when I pull her baby out to pet it. That baby, BTW, is zooming around the pen and driving her nuts. She tries to sit and and cluck at it to come to her. hehe! Anyway, I want to give it a shot and see if she'll take newly hatched chicks, that would be a big help instead of throwing them in a brooder by themselves. I don't know, I can do the brooder thing, too.
OH! I didn't even realize you are in Australia! I was thinking someone here in the States and since I'm hunting down breeders, I have been curious who everyone likes.
Hey, that is fabulous that you have made your own incubator! You should post a picture of it! There was someone on here that used a styrofoam cooler and put lights in it and she's been hatching like crazy in it! Good luck with your eggs!
