    Anyone hatching chicks right now? Looks like I might have a singleton hatch. I don’t usually start chicks this early in the year, but let a friend convince me it was a good idea.

    Looks like white and IB split pied/white. The second chick could be purple split pied/white, as the rooster in that pen is carrying purple. But it may just be the lighting. Nice job hatching!!

    Good to know. Do u do any extra turning in addition to what the bator does? And have u tried starting the eggs under a broody then moving them to this bator?

    Incubators

    I’m using an RCom max 20 this year. It rolls the eggs 1x/hour. Last year I started pea eggs under broody Chickens and finished them in a brinsea 20 advance with a decent hatch rate. The turning cradle for the brinsea is very flimsy tho & I don’t really trust it for another season.

    Incubators

    RCom incubators are great for pea eggs, as are broody chickens.

    incubating eggs

    Pea eggs sometimes do better incubated on their sides. If u have an auto-turner that works w that configuration, great. Supplemental turning (in addition to the auto turner) can be helpful too.

    The best way to get an opal silver pied is to buy one, lol. It would take a couple generations to get from solid opal to OSP. :cool:
