Cool new contest: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/1148503/2017-groundhog-day-hatch-a-long-paper-snowflake-contest
More coming soon btw!
I candled my turkey eggs yesterday. I couldn't see well in all of them but definitely some of them have veining! The first eggs of the year are fertile! I have 8 more sitting on the counter that will be set tomorrow along with any the get laid today and tomorrowPoult season is coming!
Did my first candling; all twelve of my chicken's eggs are growing, and nine of the shipped silkie eggs look good. Two were clear and one had a blood ring. Air cells look good, but the humidity is creeping up; it's around 40%. I try to do "dry" incubation, but the ambient humidity gets high in east Tennessee. I had only six out of 24 shipped eggs hatch last August when the humidity was very high the whole time, so I've ordered a small dehumidifier to use as needed in the bathroom where the incubator is. Thanks everyone for the good wishes! Here's hoping we all have very successful hatches!
