Well! Have I got a story to tell. Bought Celadon eggs. Incubated Celadon eggs. Already had eggs in two incubator s so these went in third which is a Jonell(sp) goes by good mother. Hatched other eggs one week before Celadon are due to hatch. Cleaned and sanitized incubator after chicks moved to...
finally finished. To me, an unbelievable 100%. Hatch. 6 white, 2 or 3 falb fee, 6 or 7 pharaoh. Can't beat that.
I'm planning on using 18 x 24 rabbit cages when they go out side. Most are 18 inches tall but I have one set that is 14 inches. I may be needing some ideas on how to make the...
So far I have 5 white, 3 cable fee I think, and 4 pharaoh. I'm not sure you can tell fee from pharaohs this early but I figure the ones that look white and Brown are red and the ones that look tan and Brown are pharaohs

So excited!
I candled 2 yesterday at 2 days of incubation and there were blood vessels in both. Woop! I wouldn't recommend candling at 2 days but I have hatched a lot of chicken eggs and knew what to look for. I didn't bother the other 21 eggs.
I've been following this thread and am excited because my 15 jumbo mix eggs came today. i have 28 chickens. I hatched 21,so I am not knew at hatching shipped eggs. Just hatching quail eggs.
The quail eggs are resting now and I'll start them tomorrow in the incubator. The breeder sent 23 eggs...
