Day 22 - Woke up this morning to a LOT of little peep peeps in there. . . My Polish chick finally hatched, but right now I have no clue which one it is. - It's either the blonde one or a black one that's still really wet and weak. . . There are two more Jersey Giants zipping right now, and...

I will post pics in a minute, but I'm too excited and must anounce that we have a pip!!! - From one of the Blue Wheaten Ameraucana eggs. It's a whole day early too!!

Lockdown today!! I seperated all my Marans eggs by bloodlines, and seperated my Ameraucanas by bloodlines and egg color quality so I can tell the ones who hatched from the best eggs. Sadly I dropped one of my Ameraucana eggs today, it was broken beyond hot wax repairing, and so I had to...

Quote: I drew them on top to remind myself and family members what eggs are good and what should be culled. Although today I'm going to cull again - Day 15 and I've had a blood ringed one for a while now. I am new to incubation so can you tell me what you mean by "cull"? thanks deana To...

Quote: Very pretty indeed! what are the little black circles on the top for? ETA: Day 23- 5 black & 3 yellow in the brooder 2 black in the incubator, 2 large pips, 11 eggs to go. Temp 100, Humidity 70%. I have to go to work so will check again when I get home. DH made up a song for the...

Here's what I culled down to; Aah the beauty!

Decided to candle a couple today - Turns out one of my big Bev Davis egg has a bloodring and two of the pullet Marans eggs are actually goners - Looks like they developed, but stopped somewhere sometime ago. The rest are just fine though! Even my one EE x Polish. Looking forward to all the...

Quote: Ah, so then they're just plain EEs. Sorry, but Gabbard Farms sells EEs, not Ameraucana/Araucana crosses. . . There's a difference. They're using the same sales pitch Murray McMurray does. Oh that doesn't matter to me as I want them strictly for adding some color to my egg basket...

Quote: Wait, how come your sig says you have EEs, but your egg is an Ameraucana x Araucana? Anyway - I'd love to see the little EE when it hatches. I cannot wait until I start hatching some Araucana x Marans. A different kind of Olive Egger. The eggs in my incubator aren't from my hens...

Quote: I remember when my last chicks did that - They slept on the hygrometer. My sister asks me. "what's the humidity?" I laughed and said "sleeping chick percent. . . " You're fine though.

Today is day 11 for my eggs - I culled all the quitters and replaced their spots yesterday, so now I have: 15 Wheaten/Blue Wheaten Ameraucanas 11 BBS Jersey Giants 10 BC Marans 1 WCB Polish x EE 6 BBS Ameraucanas My hovabator, for the first time, is entirely full of fertile, developing eggs -...

Quote: If they do that early, it is often a problem with too high of a temp or humidity - It convinces the chick it is time to pip. I often hear this really isn't a good thing.

Great News! I'm only on day 7, but here's how the fertility is rolling out: BBS Ameraucanas - 5/6 Wheaten/Blue Wheaten Ameraucanas - 100% BBS Jersey Giants - 100% BC Marans - 65% EE x Polish - 30% EE x EE - 0% - one had a bloodring, the others were quitters To me, that is GREAT news. I'll be...
