lol, they lay eggs.

chickens

Light brahma, yes the incubator has its own room. I also have a few brooders (inside) for going from hatcher to brooder. I also have a few larger brooders outside, for ages 2-6weeks while they feather out.

the world will never know...

Im not a man to argue, you made your own and it can't be the incubator has to be the eggs even though everyone else has had no issues. World just must be conspiring against you, I hope the world sorts itself out soon. Best of luck.

yes a whole rooster fits in a quart jar, add veggies and/or dumplings/rice

Full size, quart jar.

I would prob just eat/sell the birds with temperament issues... same thing I do with roosters. Whole chicken can fit in a quart jar. I just want the others to have enough space to be happy. I provide food and just planted a few blueberry trees (4 feet off the ground is where the foilage/fruit...
