Ive got 29 chicks hatched :). Not a lot compared to the 76 eggs I set, but that was due to infertile shipped eggs. All but a couple of my own eggs hatched :)
So I don't seem to be having a lot of luck this time around :( the majority of my shipped Java eggs are not developing. I contacted the seller and she will be sending me more from a different pen no problem, but now I have a bunch of infertile eggs lol. and last night I cracked one of my bantam...
I know someone asked about hova bators but now I can't find the post. I use a hova bator 1588 with the preset thermostat and LOVE it. My first 3 hatches I had chicks hatching early so I just bumped it down .5 degrees for this hatch
my marans :) I don't ever get a good hatch rate from them though unfortunately. I crack eggs and have a 100% fertility but never can get very many to actually hatch
I guess my intro post was missed?
I would like to participate and will be setting mottled javas, speckled sussex, marans, millie fleur bearded belgian d'anvers and white silkies
My shipped eggs will be here either the 11th or the 12th. Can I still do this is I have to set on the 11th since that is more than +/- 2 days?
If so I will be setting mottled javas (shipped) and marans, speckled sussex, white silkies and millie fleur d'anver bantams from my own flock :)
