Out of the hatcher and into the first brooder box in the back room (Brinsea EcoPlate). When they out grow this, they'll move to the big brooder pen in the greenhouse with the Premier plate They're eating and drinking just fine and have figured out the warmth source. Yay!

My hatch is over. Tally count of 11 chicks (4 yellow / 7 black&white), all adorable puff-faced EE mixes. Pictures to follow.

LOL. Tended to the incubator yesterday trying to stabilize the humidity in the lockdown (it was running either low at 58% or high at 72%) and hadn't seen it since then as I had an o-dark-early work start out of town this a.m. Came home, DH fixed me dinner and I'm sitting here reading about all...

We occasionally hatch out Gambel Quail. The wild ones all hatch out within 90 minutes from start to finish. Probably a survival thing. - - - - 11 eggs (Marans x OE/EE) in lockdown. :fl

Looking forward to lockdown. 11 of the original 17 have nice solid little bodies within. Sadly, the 5 pullet eggs from my friend's chicken all were duds. After laying her bird took ill, so I was hoping to provide a replacement. As is, she'll have her choice of EE and OE chicks. Gotta go...

Capricornfarm -- Not a random post but a winning post! Congrats! Great news! You are victorious your own special wayi!

That's what I was trying to convey. They ride the 'bator bus egg turner like every other egg until lockdown.

Saddle eggs do hatch! I've found great success in hatching them in egg cartons at an upright with the saddle facing most upward. Picture it as being like your face turning upwards towards the sun.

I set 17 eggs today. 5 of them (Marans x EE/Welsummer: Olive eggs) were gathered consecutive days since the first of the month (and kept cool and turned) and 12 were gifted to me yesterday (2 Marans/EE -- OE -- and 10 EE), no more than 3 days old. Time will tell how many will hatch. They're...

The two Trader Joe's in Albuquerque and the one up in Santa Fe carry the fertile eggs. The last time I had the fantastic hatch of TJ eggs (27 of 32) was from the Santa Fe store when I caught the eggs just 3 days off of packing date. I'm swinging by there today and -- :fl:fl -- I believe today...

Previous HAL's there was a list with participants. I don't know how this one is functioning. Anyone know?

I might even check our local Trader Joe's on Saturday (when they restock the eggs) and see if there's something....

You mean this one?

A friend is providing some Olive Egger eggs from EE and Marans chicks I gifted her a while back, and I'm meeting another friend for lunch tomorrow who'll bring an assortment of mutt eggs from her flock. My feed-snarfing slackers (FBCM) have yet to produce even one egg for the Easter HAL. Humpf!

I'm in! But it won't be with gobs of eggs as my birds aren't laying yet. (They still have a week to get their rear in gear; right?) However, my neighbor to the rescue with a mere handful of F2 olive egger eggs from birds I hatched for her last year to replace her flock. A nice karmic circle...
