I look at a swap like this. You sign up knowing you have no control over what you get and when you get it. Sure you can ask for large or bantom, mixed or pure. You know you will get your eggs sometimes after the 15th and before the end of the month. Life happens folks, getting worked up over...
Mine is made of plywood and holds temps rock sold. I had a 5 hour power outage and it did not even slow the hatch down. The temp only droped by 5 deg. I have a friend who has a new sportsman and after looking at mine would not hesitate to buy one. It works just as well as hers.
I will be...
VAry nice job! I am going to steal the idea! I wish I lived closer I would come get it in a heat beat. If you list it on Creiglist it will sell in hours. I would put a $350 price tag on it though.

Java (1834 documented in the US) are a good choice. They are the oldest breed of US chickens.

Well its day 20 and I have a couple pips but only the 2 hatched out on day 17. both are doing great with out problems so far. Any ideas wht I would have just 2 hatch out that early?
All the standards are just sitting there. It was only a couple of the bantam EE. The other 2 that started to pip have gone no further. I was expecting this hatch to take longer. I had a power outage on monday for 5 hours.
I have about 20 more bantams and the rest are standards. We will see how...
Put eggs in a paper carton large end up. Put a block of wood under end of carton. Switch block from end to end 3 times daily. On day 18 stop lifting the end and wait until hatch.
