    Rebuilding My Flock

    Saturday Feb 19, 2011 2:30 p.m. Just set 7 eggs in my Mini Advance. 70% of my flock was wiped out yesterday by a stray dog. Gone but not forgotten : barred rock roo, barred rock hen, my crazy duck pen laying BSL, & RSLs. I am left with a very tiny flock- a non laying rehomed silkie cross, 1...

    I'm glad that the two ducklings out knocked over two of the eggs. I can now see that one pipped at the wrong end! Now that it's free of the confines of the egg carton cup, it's zippin away! Hope I don't have anymore wrong end pips, as there are still 4 eggs upright. Cheers

    Dry versus Humid incubaction?

    I don't add water to the incubator for a very simple reason- my house humidity is already 50-60%. I weigh my eggs daily and calculate loss. I only add water at lockdown. Works for me!
