    Here's an update, I pulled the roosters this morning. I came home and had 6 dead ones. They are with adult hens. They've been with them for the last few weeks. I am even loosing ones that are 12 weeks old too. This really sucks. We cleaned the coop out last week, so they have a dirt floor...

    Can I do this?

    I'd seen where some people did it. I like your idea Julie. The moisture was what I was wondering about. If Julie had success I think I might try it also. Thanks for the input everyone.

    I have about a doz duck eggs that I just put in this morning. I do have a question for you guys. Can I put my chicken eggs in with the duck eggs or will the humidity be too high for them?

    Who is pipping and waiting right now??

    I had 33 in the incubator and 20 hatched out, lost 3. Two of them weren't fully developed the rest were, but didn't pip. Not sure what happened. Lost my two silkies that hatched out. I'm still happy for the ones that I hatched out. They are cute.
