    June 2025 hatch-a-long

    oh how exciting! that is great that they came early!!!!!! I also saw different opinions on letting them rest longer etc. I have done both since it seems everyone has their own thing. I honestly didn't think letting them rest longer changed anything but you need to do what you would feel...

    Extended rest - wwyd

    good luck! I would give it till tomorrow but rotate the eggs you have now, like store pointy side down but have one side of carton tilted up and spin the eggs each day so the yolk doesn't freeze. Then depending on what/if tracking says anything you can set them and hopefully they will only be...

    Slow hatching

    you aren't doing anything wrong. Do you have a thermometer in their to be sure that the temp is exactly where it should be and not just what the incubator is reading? if I had to guess I would say temp is slightly low but that is fine. the 21 days is more of an estimate but they can come a...

    Extended rest - wwyd

    when do you think the other eggs should get to you? I have set eggs in the same incubator to hatch about 4 days apart. What I did was did a pre lockdown where I took the turner out on day 18/19 for the first set and 2nd set was day 14/15 which is ok to not turn but if worried you can turn by...

    Ideas on breeds?

    ok thanks. Looking up a speckled sussex chick I didn't think it was one but sometimes pics on the internet don't match up to what you see. someone said they got a prairie bluebell from the same person and hers looked like that so maybe that is the prairie bluebell? but then I have no clue...

    Ideas on breeds?

    Thanks. They are adorable I just wish I knew what I had. I can only add a limited amount and REALLY wanted jubilee Orpingtons, but those were swapped. So want to know what I have to decide who to keep since I am getting hatching eggs of the breeds I tried for but were swapped.

    Ideas on breeds?

    I picked up chicks and some that I preordered were swapped and no clue what I got. I also ordered a prairie bluebell which is a mixed breed so can look like anything and not sure which one it is or if I even got it. Emailed the person I got them from and she said the lavender ones were...

    Lemon Owlbeard Eggs

    Are you still selling hatching eggs? I had ordered some from someone I got them from last year but her fertility wasn't good so she sold her stock. I hatched 5 last year and sold 2 right away. The 3 I kept all ended up being roos and I sold the only pullet so would love to try again this year.
