    Day 10 - only see yolk

    I cracked a few open and the eggs were cooked. Oh well. Now what to do with all this stuff I bought off of Amazon?! Ugh.

    Did I cook my eggs

    I don't think you can cook them with just humidity...but from someone who did just cook incubating eggs with heat - I did that! Mine got up to about 125* for six hours or so.

    Day 10 - only see yolk

    The eggs were given to me by someone who raises chickens. Here are two pictures day 11.

    Day 10 - only see yolk

    I knew as I was posting that I should have posted pictures. I won’t be able to do that until later today/tomorrow (I need two phones with me in order to take the picture!) I will, though!

    Day 10 - only see yolk

    I used my iPhone flashlight to candle 12 eggs on day 7 and again today, day 10. I only see large yolks and air pockets and no blood vessels. We had a mishap early on where the incubator temp reached 125* for several hours. I’m pretty sure we just have half-cooked eggs and I don’t see any...

    A long time lurker finally made the leap

    I think I’ve already failed my hatch on day 3. I have three different thermometers in my homemade incubator - a candy making mercury thermometer, a digital bought off Amazon that also keeps track of humidity and a Netatmo indoor station. All three give me different readings which is...

    A long time lurker finally made the leap

    After 15 years of dreaming of having backyard chickens, buying a coop and then chickening-out (ha!) and making a million excuses... someone handed me a dozen fertilized eggs yesterday. I think I’m FINALLY doing it, just the way it needed it to go. Instead of spending hours (days...years?)...

    calling any one from missouri

    I'm in Carroll County, Carrollton. Didn't realize there were two. I am planning on going to the event on the 25th. I don't mind driving to talk about chickens. :) Breeds I'm curious...do we need the cold weather hardy breeds in Missouri? And are the cold hardy breeds going to tolerate the...

    calling any one from missouri

    I am a fresh transplant to Missouri from California, where I have wanted to raise chickens for the last seven years and never had the opportunity due to different life circumstances. But now I'm here! In MISSOURI! We are temporarily in Carrollton until we move to Lexington in June, which is...
