What would be the ratio of vinager to water you use to remove the shells? I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR AN ANSWER TO THE EXTRA EGGS. Ease of peeling would be fantastic.
Be Sure to give them PLENTY of space. How many is some? I carried 10 males in a cardboard box 100 feet and they killed one. It will take a good six months before they start laying.
Yea, figured that out when I re-read the post. Just reaching in and grabbing a couple bag at 3 weeks 94gr. At 7 weeks 200gr. Don't have any 4weeks. So yes I would say they are larger. Send me some eggs when you get a few extra.
If they are being picky about the size of crushed egg or oyster shells. I have found a coffee grinder works wonders. I have made a powder to sprinkle over the feed and it mixes right in, even with chicks.
I have found , seperating them into one male with two or three females works well. Don't do away with the extra males. Hold on to them for backup. One group may not get along together well. Switch them out , find the group that works well together. Mianly the ones that produce the best. So far...
Just to keep this thread updated. Day 20 and 86% fertilitiy rate on shipped eggs. The rest of the batch went into lockdown this afternoon. Air sacks on top of all others and dark through the center. Now it just that wait and see game. Brooder is ready, 97*, crushed oyster shells and 28% feed...
