Fingers crossed it turns out to be a pullet. Going to pick HER up tomorrow.

Oh! She's beautiful! I call dibbs on some of her first hatching eggs!

Just saw this video from Greenfire Farms, in which eggs are hatched with what looks like just a heat lamp. Is that even possible?? Or do you think it's just "video magic".

interesting.....I will have to research that idea!

Assuming we use the same hatchery it should be the same as this year.



We won't know for sure for a few more weeks when we get all of our brochures in.

Where is this and when do they start getting chicks? Also, where did you find that wonderfully beautiful chicken?

interesting.....I will have to research that idea!

I googled incubating eggs without an incubator (or broody hen) and there are some articles about hatching them as the video showed. Apparently it is hard to keep the temp and humidity right, it would have to be done in some type of room that stayed constantly the same. How about this method instead? hahahhaha!

Do all Tractor Supply Stores get their chicks from the same hatchery or do they come from different ones so there are enough to supply all the stores?

I've started (first few days, long enough to confirm fertility) and finished (final week) duck eggs on a heating pad in low.. Covered eggs with a damp paper towel and also a dish towel or two depending on how temp was doing. I don't see why it wouldn't carry them all the way through but haven't tried.

Of course I live too far away, but GAMjr would love to have some of these for her little flock.
