Can I ask about boiling your fresh eggs here or should I go over to the food thread? I have to make some deviled eggs and I've only once tried to hard boil these suckers, which was quite the fun! Anyone have a good idea for me or should I head over there?

I have found that the better birds seem to come from the ones incubated and brooded by the mommie, but it is not efficient if you want a lot of birds. Be careful if you use the spiral plastic bands without numbers. They can cut a leg. Use colored cable ties for quick recognition. Al will tell you the rest. Just wanted to be sure that you didn't use the plastic wire spirals without a heads up.

So, colored zip ties, same - same. Great idea. I like this. I would assume room for growth and then cut and re-do once a month or so? These too could potentially cut into them during unchecked growth spurts.

Walt, you can't beat a good broody. But, you can't quite predict them or time them as well either.

OK, seriously. Without an experienced person, who could have possibly known about this? A chick hatching bag. Seriously.

Talk about being a nube!!!
