Teepov -I have mararduna basque fertilized eggs.

a couple of places that come to mind that are worth looking into, Kings feed in Wimberly sells chicks(waterfowl, turkeys, chickens) this time of year. they get some interesting ones . The custom chicken coop(I think that is their name too) sells chicks in the spring. I picked up 3 Sicilian...

I set a dzn yesterday morning also.This time around they are wyandottes. I got some in a brooder too- from last week's hatch(basque hens).

I have another shipment (1 dzn) BLRW on the way!

Well I had great luck with my shipped Basque eggs-they all hatched with exception of the "extra" that came with them. But, none of my wyandottes hatched(day 23)-they were from a good looking batch of birds from up north, I think the shippng was the culprit(they all went in same time as the...

set 1(BLRW)-p.m. sent

Hi all-just get caught up , seems like everyone's been busy here! The membrane stuck on the basque chic's back earlier in the thread has partially fallen off, and gotten alot smaller. I had the first of the BLRW pipping this evening, it started zipping awfully quick-strong little booger-then it...

An update on the rest of the eggs-nothing from the last basque hen(think it might not happen) . Worried about my wyandottes-not a single movement , peep or anything. i have a couple of days to go

here are a few pics-some of the membrane is sort of under the "fuzz"-its actually two big pieces, one on her wing , the other across her back. It was bigger and in one piece(it has broke in to two and gotten smaller )

I had a total of 9 basque eggs shipped-so far 7 hatched, 1 pipping and nothing yet on the last one. They pretty much all hatched throughout the night and this morning. I had 1 that was zipped yesterday evening, the wife and I went to dinner and a movie(long overdue) while grandma babysat. When...

my first one hatched about an hour ago-a basque hen! I have 4 external pips working atm! How long should I keep the chicks in the bator before moving over to brooder? This one is sorta dry/little moist on top still...?

so true! I have an external pip this morning. The big wobbler from last night still hasn't broke surface. I got my first wyandotte wobble this morning too! Getting exciting around here-all my girls are getting all giddy around the house! Lol. I am topping out at 65percent humidity in my still...

Went into lockdown this morning...no action when i got home today. Just a little while ago-my girls and me have been taking turns staring at the bator. We got 3 wobblers-all basque eggs!

Well -I held back lockdown for 1 day(supposed to be today)-that way my wyandottes (2 days behind the basques) won't go in too early. It's on tommorrow morning! I set up the temporary brooder in the laundry room , got the light going. Ready to roll! Hopefully, this first time around turns out...

I just read the rest of your posts!
