ok somehow I missed that post. LOL

my own eggs, I have 1 crested hen (2 non) and an uncrested roo. I also lockdown on day 19 (normally). I'm LOOKING for a crested roo, but not in a hurry. Leigh said I might be able to borrow her crested splash roo, but I might just see if I can get some eggs from him instead... I have 2 juvies that are staying (including one of the boys from your stock.) I should have kept the crested boy that feyraine got. LOL

I wish we lived closer. I would like to have an uncrested roo and not use "Mister". I like "Mister". he's a good boy, but crested. I kind-of want to steer away from the crested boys.





LM I sent you a PM...

Here are a few pictures of my little flock... I have an idea who I think is male and female, but some expert help would be greatly appreciated.
















This guy is Duke, the cockerel that was kindly passed on to me when I had my problems with the neighbors dog.

Great minds think alike!   

I'm not sure it's great minds thinking alike or my lack of sleep due to being sick. Bleh

All 8 (sarcasm because I started with 20 eggs - shipping BAHH!

) SFH getting ready for lockdown.

I usually practice a low humidity. Did I read correctly that many of you do not add water for the hatch? How dry is best?

I don't add any water, humidity at 20%. I do bump it to 45% roughly for hatch. Tend to get pretty good hatches
