Six. Guess I can call it , wasn't supposed to hatch till Monday but all six hatched healthy on Easter. 13 made it to lockdown, all the rest of the 36 I set were clears, lot working against me, dang we're still getting teens temps nightly, and another blanket of snow this morn... Still have the...

Our kids go nuts over the incubator. They were checking on it constantly the day I put the eggs in. Back room with a lock on the door. See the latch is undone, hmm I swear I latched that, keep the door shut. DW says the kids used a broom handle to unlock it, check on the chickies . Yo bub, they...

My FIL's birthday is April 2nd, going to be 80 this yr. Ever since I met him I tell him happy birthday on the first. He says no it's tomorrow. BS, you were born on the first, your mom just lied and said it was the 2nd so you wouldn't be a fool. He didn't skip a beat, nonchalantly said, 'your...

:lau:gig:lol: :p

Kids said they heard peeping from the room bator is in. Nah, I looked this morning no pips, they're not supposed to hatch till tomorrow. Little sucker must have piped,zipped, and jumped out Lol. And another egg with a pip. Looks like it's today And it's a naked! First of the NN, over JG :yesss:

Happy happy joy joy I see moving black blob spots in at least half my eggs candling tonight :woot

Get these eggs shipped next time, you won't have to wait.

Two groups. NN rooster over white jersey giant hens, and jersey giant rooster over NN hens. I candled a bunch a five days, can't see crap, maybe veins on one. Bright three D maglight, brown eggs, IDK how people see in those dark chocolate eggs. A lot working against them, cold, just started...

I took a preliminary peek at 5 days, I don't dare look now, maybe tomorrow... I only like candling when you see stuff.

I love it. "Dude what's wrong with your chickens :eek:" What do you mean? Lol :lol: First bunch I had the chicks in the garage, BIL stopped by, I told him they were baby ostrich. He went on about how big they get. I admitted they were just chickens, he laughed. Before he left he asked how I was...

I think at least keeping your eggs upright in a carton in storage helps keep the yolk in the center, might be settled but at least center. I found this out when I boiled a bunch of eggs for pickling. Had them stored in big coffee containers laid flat. Almost every one I peeled the yolk was...

I haven't been adding water till lockdown and still 30-35 dry, so I guess would be do-able. Just wasn't sure if I was remembering right, if it was ok.

Except for the turner that comes with the Hova from incubatorwarehouse, flat roller, supposed to hold 42. I thought it would be better, easier to clean anyway leaving it in when hatching. Holds any size eggs quail to goose. But if they're big long chicken eggs instead of three per slot only get...

I thought it was a homemade cone until you said that and looked again. :lau

When they act like a alligator with rabies it's usually a pretty good indicator, Lol. I had a known broody today refuse to let me take a couple eggs from her. Tried shooing her out, thumped on nest box, poked her with a stick, tried prying her out with stick, she just growled at me and rolled...

36 eggs set. Jersey Giant/Naked Neck Turken crosses. :jumpy:jumpy:jumpy

I'll be posting later total egg # set. Decided to set day late, may have enough to fill it now. That roller turner in my Hova doesn't hold 41 eggs anyway, eggs are to big and long from my giant's. Good news is I have a five yr old EE (not setting her eggs) been laying daily, wow. Only other I...

Looks like I'll have enough eggs to fill the bator by Sat . Girls miraculously started laying. Started collecting a few days ago. Forgot I was going to keep the two coops eggs marked and separated. .. So I'll have to mark some with a ? Lol.

Some people collect themselves for artificial insemination. Have roosters to big or lazy to do the deed, crossing CX etc. Watched a 'Dirty Jobs' show on artificially inseminating broad breasted white turkeys. It was pretty gross how they did it. Glass jar with a couple tubes or straws in the...
