    Is there a duck thread? I tried ducks a few years ago and only hatched one of 42 eggs (I think it was humidity issue). Good luck!

    The Svart Hona (Swedish Black Hen) Thread!

    Are the eggs usually very small? I received some hatching eggs last week and they are small, barely larger than guinea eggs. Is this typical? There is one in the group that it slightly larger but the rest are tiny.

    Different hatch dates??????

    My last hatch (first in several years) was staggered over about 5 days, ironically the last put in the incubator had the best hatch percentage. I was encouraged by others to just do it. I have eggs going in the same way this time, hoping for a better result (new genesis bator) Good luck!

    Egg Size

    Whoops- I thought I posted this under the Svart Hona breed thread. They are Svart Hona, I've seen several ads for eggs of these type birds crossed with other breeds-most of which are definitely bigger than these.

    Egg Size

    I ebayed some eggs and they are TINY!!! Barely bigger than my Mom's bantams. Is that common? one of them is possibly a medium egg size the the others are all small. Is this why I see them crossed? I'm excited to see what we get!

    leaving eggs in turner full term...

    Watch your fan, I did this once and the fan in the bator wasn't covered enough and cut all their little wings off. Killed all of them.

    The games I've had were some of the friendliest birds we've had. The roosters like other roosters, but they are human friendly!
