The difference between breakfast and chicks, is the temperature you use to "cook" the eggs!

 

What breeds do I have?  More than any sane person would own.

I have a sister who was 29 for a while, then 35 for a few years, now she's 39. And yet she's actually older than me.

I have peas, and only the eldest male makes noise, and only during mating season unless he's startled.

As far as age (three+ decades past 25 here), I've always said, if you're going to lie about your age, say you're older.  People will look and say, "You look great, you don't look anywhere near ___".  If you lie and say you are younger, they are going to think "What the h__l happened to them?"

That's been my theory for years! Actually yesterday I was trying to figure it out, because I always add 5. Same thing- I look DANG good for my age, and my 'older' sister looks really rough around the edges. She's saying 39 at 44, I'm saying 46 at 41!!

I put two thermometers side by side on the egg carton center nesled between the two rows of eggs. The fish tank thermometer reads 100. The human thermometer reads 102.4--this reads and holds the highest temperature.  Is spiking temps normal for the LG?


Yes, because it has two settings on its heating coil: on and off. If the temp takes a bit to stabilize, it will jump in air temps quite a bit, but that doesn't mean that the internal temps of the egg are that high.

Well I have been pretty darn busy this weekend with the "Honey Do" list so I have sporadically been looking at posts here. I did however take some "personal time"  cleaned my bator and set in the new batch. I set 12 goose eggs(set last Wednesday just transferred them), 10 duck eggs (from my rescued ducks) and 17 turkey eggs( 12 from my BYC best friend and 5 from ebay). I hope this hatch goes much better than the last hatch I had though. I was really disappointed in that one had a crap ton of quitters and not sure why!

And you are all feeling much better now, right? wink.png

Renee, I do have one question.  Would a mahogany colored chick have come from one of the Konza eggs?  I have a chick that is this color mainly on it's head and neck the rest of the body seems to be a dark grey but with some mahogany mixed in.  I figure it had to have come from one of your eggs since I have never hatched anything like that from my "stock"

Wow you all are dangerous no way am I getting into a camo straight jacket lau.gif even if that's my color...I just got done setting 24 of my turkey eggs so now the wait to candle. To me turkey eggs are deceiving so I might take a peek at them in a week but I don't toss any until 10 days they are slower to develop so unless they weep or stink they stay in there nice and warm.

It costs less to have the very best. Trying to raise Delawares and Marans I also have Silver Penciled Rocks New Hampshires Midget Whites Bourbons and Royal Palms......home of many APHA horses. Breeder of World Champions and Honor Roll Champions and High Point winners. I love to trail ride and camp with my friends.

Very much like that! Especially the zig zag lines back in and forth as I try to get the last few stupid ones to remember where the coop door is. I feel like a cutting horse with some of those young roosters!
