The first hatch I did I marked the day collected 1-10 for the day collected. 1-3 only had 1 hatch. 4-10 had much higher hatch rate.

I am having the same problem. I did have better Hatches last summer when it was warmer.

It would be better if they are large end up and turned 2-3 times a day.

I have had 2 hens prolapse from laying to big of eggs put both of them down. I was afraid they would get infected.

I've been looking at eggs on e-bay and with shipping it's more than I can do right now. Will it hurt to put some of the hens with their father to breed for the summer?

One thing I learned is no more tham one male per cage , doesn't matter how big the cage. They started fighting at around one month. The texas A7M's...

We're leaving them with her. She is a very attentive mother.

As of this morning she has 13 hatched. very cool.

On Sept.12, we gave our little banty cross 28 Jumbo and texas A&M eggs to set. today is day 16. when I checked this afternoon one of the eggs was pipped. not sure how this is going to go but we have an incubator and a brooder ready in case assistance is needed.

Any one still hatching in the Northern states?
