Two of them have hatched. Hope to have the third one this evening. If not I have one that is about 2 1/2 weeks old (I believe is a hen based on the color at this point) I can give you as well, if you would be good with it.
We had one hatch last night and another pip. The power outage got my days off more than I thought. Hope to be able to meet you tomorrow with them, but just wanted to keep you up to date.
Just wanted to update you on your Ameraucanas. All 4 of the eggs I set after the storm for you are looking great. They go into Lockdown tomorrow, so hope to have them all hatch by Tuesday.
We had a big storm come through and knock the power out while I was at work. The incubator got down to 72 degrees. I will have to reset some eggs for you as soon as the power comes back on. Sorry for the delay.
I can put some in today, but it will be Memorial Day Weekend before they are ready. Just let me know if that will work for you and you can pick them up.
I do sell locally $12 each straight run. How many are you looking for? I may have a couple available I’ll have to see how my hatch today goes. I have 10 going to someone from this hatch.
We have show quality WH/Blue WH/Splash WH hatching eggs that we sale. We do $25 for 6+ eggs plus $15 shipping. We are NPIP certified. We get 90%+ hatch rates here. We are located in Springville, AL.
Great to hear. I actually had one of my Wheaten Ameraucana eggs that I had washed before setting had a crack in it. I taped it up and hoped. It is pipped now and should be out when I wake up in the morning. I wash everything I set now.
I shut mine in the coop when they are getting close to laying. Then keep them in there for a couple weeks after they start, so they get used to laying in the boxes. Once they start laying consistently in the boxes I let them out to free range. Haven't had any problems with them laying outside...
My wife and kids won’t allow it. Plus I do want to keep 2 of them for my flock if I manage to hatch some females next time. So I will grow them out some and keep the best 2 specimens. I may actually be able to use another over some of my brown egg layers (for OE) since I had to put down a SLWD...
Got 12 Cream Legbar hatching eggs from Omega Hills Farm. They were great, 10 made it to lockdown. Only 6 managed to hatch, but ALL 6 are male.
I was going to start a flock with this hatch, but now I have to get another batch. Also have to find something to do with the extra cockerels.
Don't think I would put washed under a broody, because you remove the bloom and expose it. For clean incubators though, I think it helps tremendously. In my experience anyway.
