I haven't been on the forum for awhile.. This place was invaluable to me when I first started hatching eggs and five+ years later and many (MANY) hatches under my belt I am finally ready to try hatching shipped eggs!
Ordered some Bielefelder's! My order of 10+1 fertile eggs arrived this am and all made the 1500 mile trip intact! It looks like a couple might have saddle air cells but otherwise the seller did an awesome job packing this order
As of now, they are all resting upright in an egg carton and the incubator is warming up. Plan is to set them tomorrow morning. after reading here I will not be using my egg turner and will instead keep them upright and "turn" eggs by hand 3x a day.
I have had the best hatches, near 100% using the dry incubation method and so will use this method this time also. humidity will be added once the chick pips internally
If you have any suggestions or information that might help please let me know!!
Fingers crossed, I couldnt find any breeders out here on the west coast and would love to have this breed available to my customers!
