    These girls were shipped to me from Welp Hatchery on 6-23-08 along with an order of Cornish rocks. I ordered cochins in hopes that ONE would go broody, but instead, all three have!

    Took my quail eggs out of the turner, filled the water trays, put down some towels for traction, and placed the eggs into the paper carton I had for hatching. Well after a couple hours I noticed the paper egg carton was wicking water and I decided to open the bator and take them out to place...

    Recommended Reading?

    I know BYC has a ton of info on incubating and hatching, but I am wondering if there are any books out there you hatch-a-holics recommend? I can't surf at work, but books I can sneak. LOL I will be addicted like the rest of you by March, I just need to get myself ready. Thanks

    Overscalded birds....?

    I processed 4 cornish x's yesterday. I was apparently off my game. I overscalded all but one bird. One I went ahead and skinned, but the other two are still intact. I guess what I need to know is can I still keep these guys for roasters? The skin didn't tear, it just has that waxy look and I...
