UPDATE: customer reports it might be one of their OWN blue Marans. [\B]
One of my customers reported hatching out this chick. I have never seen this color but read that Garfield Farms (the breeder I bought from got all his there) hatched out a gray and white chick that feathered out all white...
Oh interesting! Yes I love all things reproduction too. Usually eggs are pretty easy to tell one side from the other...but sometimes not! I find it funny that BJs are so hardy that even an egg laid in the barn who knows when (I figured let's give it a shot and see if it develops) and shipped...
Have completed four hatches now. I have staggered hatches; they incubate in the incuview for the first several days then move to brinsea eco20 with turner (rock solid, love that baby) for a wk, then lockdown in incuview. Have had excellent hatches at or above 90%.
Moved eggs from ends of...
Girls are going strong, and I am finding I have eggs available to send on Wednesday (6-8, sometimes more) even after filling the weekly Monday shipment.
IF you know you can get eggs on Saturday from your post office, and this sounds good to you, let me know! Zones close to me (I'm in NC) may...
UPDATE after several hatches here: SOME of my chicks are hatching out showing AUBURN. Not surprising since they are almost all Garfield Farm line where the auburn gene was worked back from extinction. These pop up sometimes in BJs. Just know that I have discovered that one of my hens must be...
I have Black Javas only...my birds came from a closed flock straight from Garfield Farm. A few of them have some auburn bits on their faces and heads at hatch. One born yesterday has a LOT of auburn on face. The ones that have had this are generally VERY dark all over with more like gray...
Set eggs Friday night and one of the kids unplugged turner sometime later Sunday OR Monday.. I found it and turned it back on Tuesday evening.
What's the likely damage--tell me the truth, doc!
Everyone please check schedule. We had zero temps and icy roads last week and the 2/17 shipment was delayed until 2/24. Everyone else will be delayed by one week. Let me know if this doesn't work for you!
Going into my second hatch in the IncuView (many other hatches under my belt with other bators). Anyone else feel the dome lid isn't seating properly? I have moisture coming out around the edges. And when I push down on one side to get it to seat, the other side lifts slightly.
When I left this morning I had 11 of 12 out and healthy! No feet issues, no hatching issues. I worried so much about my IncuView as it was my first time (and bators in the kitchen, where it gets hot at times) but I am REALLY impressed.
