I have had bad luck buying eggs off of ebay, out of 28 eggs I got four chicks, and the descriptions are not what hatched lol

The second one from the bottom looks like some kind of game hen maybe a hatch, and thats just guessing from what I can see in the picture.

I use an ointment called bag balm, you can find it at your feed store or at the pharmacy. The last can I bought was at cvs. It works very well and I don't think I would use tape on it I think that would cause more problems.

Sounds like they are broody to me. Do you know anybody that has some fertile eggs to put under them, or do you want to raise more?

What is this country coming too?

Yeah I would leave it under her for now, mama hen will know when to move on.

I usually wait 4- 5 days before pulling them out, but I'll also check them to see if anything is going on inside of them.

They look good, I would keep them on the starter for now, you don't want to mess up their digestion. As long as its warm they would love it, but you have to keep a close eye on them and make sure they dont get chilled.

I love reading these posts, I have pictures in my head of people hiding under the bed, walking around in flip flops and a switch in the middle of the night. This has been very entertaining. And I am still curious as to what it was. And I plan on checking back untill we find out lol

This is what I do, after day six or seven candle the eggs and see if they are starting to develop. Again at about day 14 or 15 . Thsi way you can see excactly what is fertile and won't be wasting your time and the hens. Was the eggs left out in the cold weather before the hen started setting?

What was your humidity in the incubator?

You really have to be careful when linebreeding or inbreeding, because this is the quickest way to bring any faults that your bloodline might have to the surface. Also if you try this I would suggest that you start making a book of records on your bloodline, and be sure to write every single...

Sounds like a screech owl to me
