    Delawares

    I wouldn't worry about it at all. You chose all nice breeds and the important thing is that you ordered no roosters, so that greatly reduces your risks of them not getting along, especially since they will all grow up together and have that strong bond. And from this thread it sounds like many...

    Just hatched 2 of my 9 BCMs last night--- while we had friends over. Our guest said, "I think I hear chirping coming from your kitchen..." I ran to check, and he was right! I guess they needed me to ignore them for a minute to get up the courage to hatch Waiting for the other 7 now, but it...

    my eggs are overdue by 4 days today....

    Quote: When did you float them? And what exactly does that mean? (although I could hazzard a guess... Mine are a couple days overdue myself and wondered if it was ok to open the incubator to do this float test you are talking about... I've heard of eggs hatching 5 days late due to low temps...

    the Will They Hatch? thread

    Quote: I ended up stabilizing the temp after viewing a video that I found, I think by way of BYC (wish I could find it for you!) that explains something that you may already know, but thought I'd share it with you just in case... It has to do with putting your thermostat close enough to the...

    Calling all New Brinsea Owners - PRIZES - March Hatch-a-long

    I'm confused myself about the exact date of lockdown for incubating chicken eggs in general...which day is it supposed to start on for the 21 day period? Is it day 18?, 19? 20?---I think I heard conflicting things while rambling the internet and so wanted to make sure since this is my first...
