great web pages for information regarding incubation

everything plays a factor to the hatch....in the incubator as well as outside the incubator

Depends who you are getting them from, biosecurity is a big deal and we got to be careful. That being said I wouldn't have a problem buying from some of the breeders that go. Quackleberry farms is usually there and they are really nice and seem to take good care of their flock, they have chickens and ducks. I'm sure there are others too.

Another hen started laying!

Can you say ouch? This is the 3rd egg I've had this week this size. Candeled this one just a jumbo no double yoke. I think I'll candel the others. Pam

Candeled the other two eggs only one double yolker. I'm going to hatch the Bielefelder egg that's jumbo.

Good day everyone I candled again today to remove the eggs that needed to come out. There were a lot that I couldn't tell what was going on in them. Took out 13. A few with blood rings one had an embryo that died, some never started. Pam, the legbar egg with the rolling air cell was cracked . Somehow I missed seeing it. They definitely got jostled around. There is one that is still alive. Some of your bielefelds are kicking also.

Camping, how are yours coming? You got babies yet.

Sorry you lost some eggs. Glad to hear some are alive! It would be great if you wound up with a pair of legbars with your Bielefelders .
Camping you've been to quit that's unlike you. What's up peeps yet? Pam

I'm pretty sure there will be quite a few that won't make chicks. There's only one legbar left the one that is alive. So if it survives it will have to pretend to be a Biele,

I thought you had 2 left. If you get a poulet you will have blue eggs or easily sold. Pam

Out of the three you sent, one with rolling cell, one developed a bloodring so I guess it quit, then the one left still alive.

If it makes it I hope it's a pullet or he may be eaten. LOL. or crossbred
