    The 6th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

    They are my fiestiest hens too. My other hens when I check under them for eggs they just fake at pecking me. The silver partridge really get angry. They have drawn blood before. I don't back off when they do it is why they make me bleed from time to time. The roo got very aggressive with me this...

    It could take up to 24 hours for them to do anything else.Or it can kick it in gear and zip right on out. The best thing to do is to just walk away. It may be near impossible to do but try to tear yourself away from the bator. I used to hover like a bee over pollen

    I've had customers that had really good hatches and one actually had 100%. I on the other hand don't have very good luck with shipped eggs. I'm lucky to get 1 to hatch out of a dozen eggs. If I have broody's I just let them do it. They know what they're doing.

    My grandsons would lift the top to look in then not close it completely. Temps and humidity would drop drastically and it would be a while before I caught it. Now they don't go near them. My grandsons live with me so I had to nip that one in the but right away. They ask to see now.

    When mine does that I put 2 bath towels over it. I fold them lenghth-wise and lay one over the top of the lid and one over the bottom of the lid. That way I can adjust how much is covered to get the right temp. It that makes any sense. I move the towel away from the middle a little at a time...

    I believe thats what wet bulb and dry bulb is. I don't have my humidity as high as this says to though. It seems too high.

    I keep a hard copy in my folder I keep my copies of the incubation charts as well a copy on my computer for quick reference. It's not easy to find it on the thread.

    I put mine in the tub. I run hot water with a little bleach. I let it soak then wipe it off, rinse it really good and turn it upside down to dry. I put the wire screen and plastic insert in the tub as well. The cover I just wipe off the dust from the top. Then I set it up without adding water to...

    I think I posted this already but here is a hatching chart that shows how long to incubate as well as the humidity for each breed. I suggest you all save this for future reference.
