This is an old post but MUST respond to the wonderful video. I especially like this video because it celebrates roosters!! My favorite crows come from the larger rooster breeds. I especially love the Sussex crow. I do not enjoy the crow of bantam rooster as much; however. I love roosters!
I was not specific in my question. I was wondering if the soft shell issue resolved. I am not concerned about when the pullets begin to lay. My Red Star pullet is passing more than one egg per day and is therefore passing soft eggs. Today she had three eggs. One was normal and the other two were...
How is Daisy? Did her eggs become more normal? I have 16/17 week Red Star pullets that have started laying. One of the girls is having a similar issue to Daisy.
You are welcome! I am on a second run of the incubator and after 18 days with humidity less than 65, I have had no temperature spikes at all. It was the high humidity (70 to 85+) during my last hatch that caused the temperature spikes for sure! Take care!
This is an informative post. I have an LG 9300 incubator. I have done many successful hatches with this simple machine. I want to say that my current hatch is 8 Muscovy ducklings and 14 pekin ducklings. All successfully hatched. I do however want to report an anomaly I encountered with this...
So, what I gather is that you would not find unplugging pipped eggs for 30 to 40 minutes a concern? Humidity and temp would drop. They are on lockdown. Perhaps it really is silly to worry about them!
I guess I will not worry about it then either!. Thanks.
Hello! I just need some suggestions. Whatever you think sounds like it might work, suggest it!
I have hatched out 8 Muscovy ducklings and still have 15 Pekin ducklings that have externally pipped. Muscovy ducks are all in brooder. I have to drive down to my Mom's house which is 30 minutes away...
Hi! This is my first post with BYC. I am incubating pekin ducks for a friend. I am on day 21. The air cell sizes are non uniform across all eggs, which I have seen in chicken eggs and have not had problems. However, with the duck eggs, the air cell sizes are very different from one egg to the...
