@JHorn91180 I am due to hatch keets tomorrow and the next day, could I post pictures and you might be able to tell me whats what? Im planning on keeping 3 for myself and would like one male and two females! lol
Thank you :)
ohhh okay thats reassuring! I thought I had little mutt chickens even thought i got the eggs from a breeder. The orpingtons should be fluffier and "Fatter" than the marans too right?
upon closer examination, the three smallest chicks have pea combs and cheek feathers! :) Is it possible for a black copper maran to be partly yellow when little? or an olive egger? I had both eggs...
My humidity was between 60 and 70%. I did notice it recovered REALLY fast. What other reason could there be for shrink wrapping? I had a couple eggs that didn't pip internally.
The problem with taking chicks out once fluffed is the remaining eggs get vacuum sealed. I added hot water and did it in a steamy bathroom but they still got vacuum sealed
Yes when hatching. I find it's insanely crowded. I'm going to try a staggered hatch to minimize crowding at hatching. I don't have the humidity pump so I open every couple to three days. Do you start the feature at 7 days?
Hey guys,
So I hatched out a bunch of chicks, and not I'm confused and can't tell the difference between any of them... lol.
I got blue orpington eggs, black copper maran, ameraucana, and barred rocks.
The blue orpington eggs are from all blue parent stock (although the breeder told me...
hello all, I just finished my first hatch in a brinsea octagon 20 advance. I'm wondering if anyone uses the cool down feature that comes in the new models? I did not in my last hatch. Any advice on this incubator in general? I hatched 20 eggs last time and it was very crowded.
