I had two hatch on day 18, perfect shells, no blood. no naval issues. just perfect.

Quote: they will hatch 2 or 3 days early, but you should still lockdown at the same time.

I KNow that bantam eggs hatch 2-3 days early than LF eggs but yesterday, I had a lf egg hatch on day 18 along with a bantam egg. the lf chick had its intestines coming out so we culled him. probably because he was early by 3 whole days! anyway, I'm hoping it was just a fluke and that I don't get...

Quote: Please think twice before "supplementing" with fluoride. Fluoride is linked to lowered IQ, cancer, and dental fluorosis (enamel defects), etc. It does not have to be swallowed, it is only useful for teeth as a topical application. It is also no longer considered safe for babies...

I saw this and I thought it was a genius idea, will be watching episodes from now on.

there's already a thread about this, I suspect a lock in a minute or so

let me give you the details of what the chicks and the adults will look like. chicks at 3 weeks old will have a puffy tail, a noticable beard and muffs and just maybe a little raising of the feathers on its head. young pullets/cockerals will look like this: Crest, NOT A TOP HAT but a CREST...

I'm too lazy to post my cross on here, its on my other accounts byc page, I have to get the link.

Zygotes can have the DNA ripped out of them, and then diff dna thrown in there. It's really easy to do if you have a microscope and a pipette. But then, the egg shell would be unusable, so another container would have to be used. You could even inject like guinea fowl dna into a chicken cell...

banta,s hatch on day 19, most of them anyway.

its kinda in the middle though, but theres no blood. Bantam eggs hatch at day 19 right? because we have a pip at 9:30 on day 13.

I've heard it can take up to a week. But if you want to be sure, just crack one open after you have seen him mate with her. look for a light yellow dot on the top of the yolk. If its fertile, it will be similar to a bullseye. if its not it will just be a dot, or not there at all.

Quote: I think thats great i mean. I'm not trying to impose, if you hatched all of your eggs just fine then keep doing what your doing. But, where were you measuring the temp at? I think I need to regulate mine a bit. Is your bator a still air incubator?

well, you shouda used a pencil instead to mark on your eggs. Ink can be absorbed and harm the hatch. They need to be turned 3 times a day. if you aren't using a fan. then out your included thermometer on the top of the eggs. best temp is 102 degrees on the top of the eggs. Its a good idea to get...

porous eggs cannot hold moisture so eggs that are porous will have their air sacs enlarge faster. also the chick will have a hard time hatching.

why would you move the eggs if they are just dirty. She won't abandon them. In fact you should have just left them there. Broodies do a much better job than bators in my experience.

I'll pay shipping!

please, anyone?

anyone else? I've heard serama eggs take 19 days only, is this becuase their eggs are smaller?

Any help would be appreciated.
