    PLEASE CLOSE-SOLD FS-FL Mille Fluer D'uccle Eggs

    How many eggs and at what price? The title says auction, but the post says to declare them sold. I'm a little confused, sorry! They're very beautiful, I'd love to add some to my flock!

    Ready to give up! What am I doing wrong?!

    I've always heard that the incubator should be closed as much as possible, I'll have to try opening it a little each day. Thanks for the tip!

    Ready to give up! What am I doing wrong?!

    Right about now, I'd be happy with anything. I was really hoping for a hatch on my birthday, but alas...perhaps another time.

    Little Giant Still Air Incubator - need help with settings

    The title pretty much says it all, what are the best settings for my incubator? I'm really tired of eggs not developing and not hatching!

    Ready to give up! What am I doing wrong?!

    My Mother's Day present was a Little Giant still air incubator with an automatic turner, standard TSC stock. The thermometers were always in a good range and never spiked or dropped drastically. The humidity usually runs between 40-50%. I just don't get it. For the overdue eggs, should I...

    Ready to give up! What am I doing wrong?!

    I've read that anywhere from 99.5 to 102.5 is a good temp, and my humidity is difficult to control below 50%. I should be trying for 30-40% during incubation, right? Then up to 50-60% for hatch? This is sooo frustrating! I have eggs that were due to hatch yesterday, and have yet to see pips...

    Ready to give up! What am I doing wrong?!

    This is the first spring I've tried incubating, and I must admit I'm feeling incredibly discourage and am ready to give up. I thought the problem was with shipped eggs, so I tried picking up some local eggs. It seems that IF they hatch, it's always on day 24 or 25, but most of them die long...

    Hens Laying Eggs

    I had a hen that would only lay if her boyfriend was in the coop with her. They would go in together, and HE did the triumphant clucking for her (she must have been too tired!). Then they'd step out for a bite to eat before running like mad for the pine trees!

    Pronunciation of "Faverolles"?

    Oh! Me too! We just bought a trio of Mil Flur D-Uckles, I'm so glad it never came up in conversation! We refer to them as 'the trio' to avoid butchering the real name! Thanks for the tip!

    Do you have a well? Perhaps you should get your well tested in case something has made it into the ground water. Just a guess.

    Duchess hatches babies, saved eggs hatching in bator!

    What is the container that she's nesting in? It looks perfect for a broody! My EE went broody 3 weeks after she began laying, I gave her 5 D' Uccle eggs to sit on.

    Chick cannot get up...

    I had a favorelle chick that wouldn't stand up, he stayed on his back. I made it a point to hold him in my hand and tuck his little legs under him the right way, to "teach" him how to do it on his own. It took a few days to get him right, but he's still up and running now at 10 weeks. It will...

    My human "Pavlovian" response,,, and your's is?

    My Pavlovian response is to the crunch of gravel in the driveway! I'm a stay-at-home mom and crunchy gravel means company! Every time I hear it, I dash away to the windows to check! For the record, I don't know any of the references except Val Kilmer. I'm a little lost!

    GA - Contest for eggs - Celebrating post 1000 & BYC WINNER ANNOUNCED

    My first ever attempt at hatching was a total disaster, and I was really bummed out. We had spent a bunch of money on some shipped eggs off ebay. Only 2 hatched out, one of which died over night and the remaining chick was not even close to the breed standard. I asked for some help with new...

    Alright, I don't know how to post the link for the thread, but I found the information so you can look for it yourself. It's posted under incubating and hatching, on 6/21/2009 by zowieyellowflame called I'm Getting Impatient...Should I Help? Can't Stand it Much Longer! I really hope this...

    Help!! New to all this and im a little concerned

    I had a similar issues with some mutt eggs that I tried to incubate. The ones that did hatch didn't hatch until day 27 (I didn't have the heart to give up on them). There's a thread on here somewhere about helping stuck eggs hatch, or just cracking the shell and leaving the membrane. Let me...

    Best Salmon Favorelle for breeding

    Yeah, just the one hen. We had a very poor hatch, with only 2 of 9 hatching and one died overnight. Number 1 is the survivor from that hatch. I contacted the lady we bought the eggs from to let her know that he only had 4 toes on each foot, and she sent us 4 more eggs (which didn't hatch at...
