    Braggs Mountain Buffs

    Its seems like someone would have tried them. I know they are expensive. And they wouldn't still be in business if no one is buying them. Karen

    Braggs Mountain Buffs

    Does anyone here have them or know someone who has? They sound like they'd be great but a bit on the expensive side. Karen

    Marans chicks, is this what they should look like? **pic**

    Quote: I should have a good hatch rate starting on 29th. Then about 8 days later maybe the Call eggs. Then there is 15 White Marans I got from Oklahoma (to Washington State) Thursday so I put them and 3 more Call eggs in last night. Please Lord make my other Genesis come Monday because right...

    Marans chicks, is this what they should look like? **pic**

    id you really get 3 Black Coppers from Donna? How dark were the eggs? I got a batch of Golden Cuckoo Marans eggs from her but only had a crummy old incubator that wasn't holding steady on temp. One golden hatched out but didn't absorb yolk and later died. I have 3 Cuckoos that hatched out fine...

    hatching in a carton

    You are going to love the Genesis. I like mine so well I ran in and ordered another one the other night on the commercial break while watching Survivor. The one I have is full to the brim with 36 Marans eggs and 5 Call duck eggs. Karen

    Can you hatch store bought fertile eggs-from super market

    Quote: Let me get this straight, I understand the hatching supermarket eggs sort of like a dare, dont really want to, but you have to. What I am questioning here, is if you know refrigerating ruduces chance of hatch why would you intentionally put them in the frig, did the thought of...

    Genesis incubator

    Thanks for the feedback, I think I'm just going to go order me one. There are going to be several different batches of eggs coming and I don't want to try it with only one incubator. I'll probably get one on ebay since I have a $25. ebay giftcard to help defray cost. Karen

    Genesis incubator

    Anyone using one, can you tell me how you like it? I have a still air Hova-Bator w/ autoturner now, full of eggs but am seriously on the edge of getting another incubator. Thanks, Karen

    Turning Question

    I just downloaded an interesting article about not turning eggs at all. It was run in Countryside & Small Stock Journal July 1, 1996 and written by D.L. Salsbury. I do think I'm going to give it a try.Maybe not with the eggs I have coming tomorrow morning, but next batch perhaps. It is worth...

    Day 1 - I filled my incubator

    Where should I go to get a water wiggler? I want to get everything I need before I start trying to hatch eggs. Thanks, Karen

    Test egg day 18!!!

    Did it say on the carton it was fertile? I thought the egg farms didn't ever bother with having roosters around. Karen

    Puyallup here. Have had plenty of chickens, ducks, geese before when I lived in eastern Wa. but no chickens right at the moment. Won't be long. Incubator is on a dry run as we speak. Looks like its holding ok, so will be ready to try hatching something out. Have done that before also, but its...
