Great job. I have a separate pen right now with my excess roos.... just haven't gotten up the nerve to off them yet. It is hard for me to do for some reason.... It wouldn't be my first time killin and processing a critter as I hunt deer, hogs, and squirrel...... but I guess I have got attached...

I agree! still not sure about the rest.... I had 41 eggs in the bator and 3 have actually hatched now. I hope some more start pippin soon. gettin worried
Well I have 2 out and in the brooder now! I don't have as many pips as I think I should on the other eggs tho.... They should all pip somewhat around the same time right? Also, it looks like we have one that did not make it still stuck in the egg. There is a big hole where it began to break...
Now how long is it ok to leave it in the bator while waiting on the others to emerge? like I said this IS my first time im leanin on all you pros out there. I read all this stuff before......... but I have slept since then.
Well I guess these arent good anymore My friend that is incubating my eggs for me just called me and told me that the temp was 120 when he checked it this mornin.................. Eggs need to be thrown out i guess right? 35 is a lot to lose for me. He said that he wants to keep an eye on it...
I got 21 chicken eggs one of em is twice the size as the rest! I feel sorry for the poor girl that laid that one. And I also got 2 duck eggs. I have got to start selling more eggs! How much do you folks that sell some eggs get for em?
This is my first time making chickens from scratch! I put 35 in the incubator yesterday. I am soooo excited. The only thing that sucks is they are at a friend's house a couple miles down the road in their bator due to the inconvenient fact that I have no incubator........ I hope I don't miss too...
That is awesome! I am making one tomorrow. I am makin some chickens from scratch for the first time and am VERY excited about it. Thanks for the pics and instructions.
I found some eggs in a couple different locations than I usually check for eggs... not real sure how old they are. How can I tell if it is worth trying to incubate them. I have about 30 that are going in the bator tomorrow that I know are from yesterday and today. The other ones I found i'm not...
I was just given 4 serama roos that came from Jerry's Seramas, they are awesome. Tiny little fellows and are the sweetest roos I have ever held. I was petting one and he was almost purring he was enjoying it so much. I am stoked about adding them to my feathered family. I would now like to get...
I am finally getting eggs from mine too, I get 3 a day for now till all the other girls stop being lazy and make me some eggs . I have had some that are almost emerald green and some that are brown to tan and brown with spots. I love it and they are soo much better than the store eggs. I just...
