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!

Woot! Good luck Pickin!!

I candled the other night. The basque eggs are full on dark inside-can't tell what's going on in there. I got rid of one unfertile and one bloodring that obviously showed no progress(both BLRW). Tommorrow, my basque eggs are supposed to go into lockdown. With only one incubator, this will force...

My LG has been holding temperature really well. I've got it between 100-101 on top as Silkie suggested to me earlier in the thread. My humidity is holding at 35-40. I candled the Marradunas tonight-a few have an actively moving black spot. Others have gotten dark and much bigger-can see the air...

I couldn't help it -after reading this thread, I had to candle! All my basque hens have a little black "spot " with veins running from it-with the exception of two(I'll leave them in there, as they might be a little later hatch). The wyandottes are still clear??( only been 3 days) Thanks for...

OOops-a little late posting. I set some shipped eggs in an LG (first time hatching and I'm consumed with it!) I wish I had read this thread earlier-lots of great info here. Hope I didn't botch it. I recieved 9 marraduna bosque hens(Greenfire), only let them sit for 8 hrs on the 5th before...
