Toy incubator

[Foolhardybuffalo28]

I received a toy incubator. I don't know what else to call it. I've heard nothing but bad news about the incubator but I actually hatched a chick out of it, just one! Should I get the chick a friend? I have two girls that placed more eggs in the incubator with lots of hope for more chicks! But I know the age difference will be a problem...

Yes, you should get at least couple of chicks to go with your single. I believe tsc is open today....
The chick is a cutie!

I know right! I believe she's a mix of Easter egger and road Island red, and Sussex lol but yes I'll definitely have to get her a friend today! I placed a mirror in with her for now and she's not sure about it...

What's the minimum for chicks at Tractor Supply these days?
4? 6?

Happy to say we just brought home 4 more chicks for our little girl but found out two are male we were told that one was definitely a girl until I checked him out myself

Yeah it's 4!

How did you come to the conclusion they're males?
Are they not like a few days old?

The wing test has never worked for me, but maybe it works for your chickens.
