My broody has 7/9 so far! She's teaching some how to eat while sitting on the last 2 eggs! Have seen 2 Iowa Blues, 2 Norwegian Jaerhons (1f, 1m), and 3 EE so far. Think there's 1 more EE and one more Jaer under there. Not bad for a first timer! And she's about 10 month old herself!
She's...
I got brave and candled some of the eggs under my broody last night. All 6 I checked were developing nicely, tho' I may have checked at least one twice. Didn't get to see all 9 eggs but happy with what I did see. Then I left the broody cage door open all night! But she was still firmly...
Wow, I just candled 19 Pilgrim eggs in the styro bator and 17 are developing!! Leaving the other 2 in and rotating them in the bator, might just be slower! Might be a lot of little fuzzies running around Ina few weeks!
I've still got weeks for my April HAL sets! But my Easter HALs are hatching!
For April, down to 2/5 of the Goose eggs developing. :(
Only 2/9 of my shipped Hedemora eggs are developing. They had a rough ride through the PO with almost all the air cells displaced. After 8 days of being...
Just candled my Pilgrim eggs, okay candled them again, and there are at least 3 of 5 developing! I hadn't thought any of them were. Now I just have to get another bator! Even tho my poor little Hedemora eggs are in Philly, traveling a whopping 181 miles in 3 days, I'm still holding out hope...
I think I just got lucky. Read about them, and then wrote a couple people who have them. Asked if they were selling eggs and if I could be on their waiting list. Kind of expected to have to wait for a while but I'm good with now too! Kind of have an affinity for the Scandinavian breeds...
I'm so big time I have *two* Minis on my counter.
And making NO progress on my bigger cooler-bator.
Welcome!! I've got some Hedemora eggs coming for bator #2!! Too excited about that, I better make space!
My April HAL set #1 is 5 Pilgrim goose eggs!!! Not a Jaerhon in the bator this time! Just a fertility check on the geese and not expecting much since they're the first eggs of the year but what the heck! Will have another set too, I usually do.
Can we double list our Easter HAL eggs as April HAL eggs or do you want separate sets. Either is doable! Set my Easter ones just now, and have others set to hatch on Tues. Will fill the bator back up again with something!
