Hi there, My very first post. I have set and hatched already this year. My first batch with my new rooster and hens have hatched with 12 out 13 success rate. I was very happy. I am preparing for my second batch and saw this thread and want to join. I have many different breeds that are not separated yet because I saved them from a family who were no longer able to keep them. I am however; looking to separate them by breed soon. So, for now; I am hatching mixed breeds. How does everyone find mixed breeds do for egg laying? Are they better if I separate them? Thank you for the information![]()
Can someone with a Brinsea Octagon 20 please tell me where the serial number is on it? I got mine a couple weeks ago and now I'm trying to register it, but I can't find the SN on it. Thanks.![]()
Thanks everyone. We're thinking predator since she did so well last year and that was her first time hatching and raising babies. oz, we're not big fans of duck around here.They're dad's and he just really likes raising them.
I'm hoping she'll try again, but I don't know much about ducks. Does anyone know if she'll try again? Both ducks are mallards.
HiHello and welcome. I find my mixed bred pullets lay very well. I get a variety of beautiful colors and egg shapes. The eggs are large to extra large The mixed breeds seem to be very hardy.
What breeds do you have that will be crossed in your hatch?

on the side that the power cord is hanging out of there is a little cover held on by 1 screw, remove the screw take the cover off and serial number should be printed on a little tag right there inside of that. The temperature in just screw is under there also.
It is easiest to find on the box it came in. There should be a label there with the serial # of your unit.
