Thank you for that. Looks like I learned something new today.
@lofuzzy
Sorry about your finches
They can suddenly die right around a cold snap overnight, don't ask how I know
My final hatch was 17 Chicks out of 20. 1 baby died
Thanks to you guys I decided to join the New Years hatch-a-long this year, and boy am I glad you did so
Put 20 Black copper marans eggs in my homemade incubater. There were chicks in 11 of those (hard to see with brown eggs).
1 never made it out of the egg. I helped it a little, but it still died.
1 almost died on me, but it's getting better every hour passing by (walking, eating and drinking)
9 are in perfect condition.
So... 50 % hatchrate. Not fantastic, but still pretty good considering the season.
Easter is a early this year, so I'll still have to paint the eggs myself for easter
Here are som pics:
Most of what I sell is in the description on my page...whatever that's called on the bottom of the page here....
Yokel just hatched some bantam EEs from me. They do every bit as good shipping all the way across the country as half way acrossAnd better than shipping close by because a truck ride for a day or two is way rougher than a smooth flight. Depends more on how many hubs they go through and some of those are bigger and rougher than others.....
As for temp...they are going from a temperate zone into a temperate zone. Won't freeze on the airplane because they have to keep the cargo hold above freezing.
