Me too!

what a lovely story!

No problem. Mystery is the fun part :D. I'm more curious about the dark grey comb chick. After some further googling, I think it might carry some Fibromelanstic Olive Egger mix, given that it was hatched from a light olive colored egg. The baby chick picture in the link below very much looks...

That's the mystery. I only know her hens lay mostly light brown and olive eggs.:idunno

I sure hope so! :fland better be a pullet for me!:bow:highfive:

I have no idea of the parent birds. I didn't ask. I believe it was hatched from a light olive colored egg. I suspect they all are barn yard mixes:rolleyes:. The black chick is all black appearance wise but I doubt it could be a pure Ayam Cemani. I never tried to inspect its tongue. Eyes look...

These 4 weeks old babies were hatched from light olive and light brown eggs I bought from a local lady. One black chick has black/dark greyish comb. What could s/he be? And I think it’s a pullet. It grew tail very early on at about 7 days. I think the other black bird is a cockerel given the...

Can't wait to see you guys test them out!

For $15, it looks solidly built. :lol:

Let us know once you tried it!

By the way, below are pictures of my small incubator set up. I drilled couple of extra holes on the microwave steamer lid for temperature control sensor and ventilation. The incubator is normally covered by a piece of fleece for more even heat radiation from the lamp but I took it off for the...

It's more of a little science experiment:rolleyes: stemming from curiosity. I live in the city so can only have 5-10 hens max depending on the lot size. I'm testing my homemade still air incubator on 3 trader joe's $4 a dozen fertile white eggs now. Approaching day 22! One externally pipped, one...

Really? Didn't know that. I've ordered some random small things from them. Haven't had any issue yet. But now I need to look more into it.
