    Best cross breeds

    One of the prettiest cross breeds I've done was a Barred Rock roo x EE hen. She came out barred but had red all through her. She was gorgeous! Sadly she just passed away today, about an hour and a half ago. 😢

    Day 17 I turned the eggs one last time, "X" is up and I close the lid. I head upstairs and turn in for the night. My role with the eggs are done, to me they are now in "lockdown". Almost three weeks ago I unboxed 15 eggs. At this stage I have 11 still cooking and at the last candle all were...

I have marked all the eggs with an "X" on one side and an "O" on the other. I have also numbered all...

    Hello all

    Well I've done it again. I am experienced in the chicken world, but I have taken a few years off. I'm at it again though. Right now I have 15 eggs in the incubator on day 6. These are ebay eggs. First time doing that so lets see how it goes. Thank you for this site and lets start this journey again.
