We have a rule that nothing gets named until we can tell if it is a boy or a girl. Girls get names (they lay eggs after all), excess males are numbered. The saying here is Names are pets and breeders, numbers are what's for dinner. My 15 yr old DD is OK with this, but my 8 yr. old DD is still...

I just got a delivery of some hatching eggs. I was wondering how long do I let them rest before putting them in the incubator? I was figuring tomorrow morning which would be about 12-15 hours.

I like the partridge as well, but my EE roos is absolutely gorgeous and fairly large (I'd say he is about 7-8# right now). He is also very prolific. Bob D. in FL.

Ok I want to crow a little (pun intended). Here's my DD's results from our County Fair. 1) Sexlink Hen - Blue Ribbon - She's showing her age some (3rd year at the fair) 2) Ameracauna Hen - Blue Ribbon 3) Ameracauna Rooster - Red Ribbon - His comb is a little bent 4) Crevecoeur Rooster - Blue...

Momma-Hen, How long have they been in the bator? It could be the embryos moving around in the shell, especially later in the incubation process. Bob D. in FL.

Well the Ducks have hatched so now I have 6 Crevecouer eggs in the bator. CindyDJ, I use them as replacements for my current flock and breed improvement. I will also sell some of the chicks, but I don't ship. Any extras (especially Roos) will go to Freezer Camp. This way I'm not paying for...

After way to many cases of Fowl Pox last year I decided to vaccinate my new Americaunas before I put them out with the rest of the flock. So I bought Poxine and was ready to do it when I realized I wasn't very certain about the method of delivery. It says to use the Wing Web Method. OK what...

Carole, that is condensation from the 80+ humidity. We now have 4 as of this morning, so I really ned to get the brooder up and running. Bob D. in FL.

As of now 3 have hatched and are resting comfortably in the hatcher. Since they are 2 days early I have to scramble in the morning to get the brooder set up. Here are some pics of the first 2: I'll give everyone an update in the morning. Bob D. in FL.

I just went to move the eggs to the hatcher and while candling guess what I found? 4 of the eggs where already starting to crack, 1 was internally pipped, and 1 looked ready to pip. Only 1 out of the 8 eggs failed to develop. It looks like I may have 7 new Black Runners coming in the next day...

After 3 weeks of intensive care, whatever had afflicted Droopy, one of my Bourbon Red Turkeys, finally succeeded in killing him. We never could figure out what was wrong though we were given a lot of suggestions. He seemed to get better for awhile but then would start drooling again and finally...

I've got Black Runners. As a matter of fact I've got 8 eggs in the bator right now so I hope I'll have even more in a couple of weeks. By the way they are really good layers of extra large eggs. Bob D. in FL.

I've got 2 incubators, 1 turbo-fan Hovabator and 1 still-air Little Giant. I use the Hova as an incubator since it has a fan and have 2 turners for it, 1 for Chicks and Ducks and a Goose turner for the Turkey eggs. I use the Little Giant as a hatcher. I may get another Hova since I may want...

I've got Black Runner Duck eggs cooking in the bator right now. Bob D. in FL.
