Charles Darwin, in his book "On the Origin of Species", used Lord Sebright as an example of a breeder who was very skilled at changing characteristics in a race.
Incidentally, I learned just last month that there's a breed of chicken named after Sebright, which he bred into existence himself.

My brooder for 5 chicks. Any ideas on how I could enrich it further? Ideally something I can find in nature (nordic climate).

Just candled all the eggs, now at day 7! We lost two eggs so far, rest seemed to be at the right stage of development.

Here’s the two eggs we lost. The trigger warning is due to fetus.
