Looking good there Bee! Thanks for the pics. And the Best of Luck to You!

Yes Bee, That would be AWESOME!....if you can turn your flock back into a more natural flock. The Best of Luck To You!!! I too think that most all of the broodiness has been bred out of most all of our flocks......and that is a shame!

Good to see you again Bee! And Good luck with your Hatching!

Hello Bee, I'm glad you woke this thread up again. Yes it would be neat to see all 3 methods gong at the same time. I will be standing by to read about the 2 and/or possibly 3 methods. I'm glad to read that you are doing well! I will not be hatching any this year. I have too many now...

For those that may be interested. My first hatch in my homemade ice chest bator was a success. I started with 7 shipped Light Sussex eggs and 5 of my Dominiques. Day 7 candeling I removed 2 clear LS and 1 LS with a blood ring. Overall 7 of 9 viable eggs hatched. 1 of those was a quitter around...

Excellent videos fisherlady! Thank You for posting!

Hello Pete, Good looking LS chicks!!! Thank You for posting! I have some trying to hatch right now. I'm hoping for a good hatch. Take Care!

Well, it has began! 5-pips, 1-pipped and zipped out. In my homemade ice chest bator. Early hatchin/pipping on day 20.

Hello Bee, We all make our fair share of mistakes. So don't beat yourself up too bad. And on the brighter side, sounds like you are having a pretty fair hatching!.......even if they are mutts.....some success, on Experiment # 5! Happy to be here learning from You! Have A Great Day!!!!

Wishing you a Great Hatch!

Awesome Job, Demi! Congratulations!!!!

Took advantage of that broody.......wise move. Wishing you a good hatch!

How do you hold a broody on the nest? Fake eggs? Or just let her set on some eggs?

Sounds Good! I'm hoping with you!

Great! I hope so too!

Well the rain seems to be over, gotta go to work.

Another thing Bee, Keep in mind that the embryo, as it grows creates temp, too. Check this chart out: http://www.aviagen.com/assets/Tech_Center/BB_Resources_Tools/Hatchery_How_Tos/03HowTo3MeasureEggShellTemperature.pdf

I'm near Freeport, Texas, on the Gulf Coast, where it's supposed to rain regularly and get our fair share of hurricanes.

I have the mini temperature controller's probe in the water wiggler. I can not put my thermometer/hygrometer probe in a water wiggler, due to the same probe reads my bator humidity. So it is sensing bator temp and humidity. Currently reading 100.9F and 45% humidity.

Well we have been in a drought since 2001. But now it is pouring cats and dogs! My rain gauge has overflowed. My guess is 8+ inches. Thank You, Lord!
