My hatch is complete. I got 11 EO's to hatch and one LF Partridge Wyandotte. Not bad out of 15 shipped eggs. I love looking in the brooder and seeing these precious little creatures. I've really enjoyed reading all the posts in this thread! Thanks for letting me hatch-along folks. Congrats to...
And a great big fuzzy butt to all y'all!!! Congrats on all the hatches. We have a purdy lil lonley LF partridge wyandotte in the hatch tray awaiting some friends. I can see 2 pips so far out of 13 EO eggs. So happy that all 13 made it to lockdown! I'll have trouble sleeping tonight!
Lockdown yesterday for batch #2.
13 EO's
1 Partridge Wyandotte (the other was a quitter)
These were shipped eggs and 14 of 15 made it to lockdown. Thank you Skyline!!
5 more out! The other 2 haven't done a thing. I'll give it some more time, but it's not looking too good. 7 out of 12 isn't what I was hoping for. I should not have opened that bator for pictures!! But then again, I really had to remove the weepy before it became a stinky. I'm having fun though...
The LongMoss Farm kids of 2012. I do believe the GroundHog won't see his shadow.
Mahonri......so sorry bout the chick. I hope all the rest hatch without a problem for you.
I have 4 more pips and 1 zip. 2 others eggs uninvoled, and 1 that started to weep so I got it the heck outta there. I got the 2 that hatched in the booder, and the 2 early quitters making up my 12. With 3 out of the running, my hatch rate has dropped. In other farm news...We had one doe give...
Whoooops! I got a picture. I was a little iffy on breaking the lockdown rule, but turns out my new incubator rocks! Temp and humidity right back to perfect in less than 3 minutes. Not to shabby. The first to PIP has emerged making 2 hatched so far, on day 20, making us the early birds for...
I haven't done anthing yet but grow em'. Don't tell to many of the folks on the emu part of the forum, but we eat animals that we grow on the farm....ssshhhhh! I got my eye on one that always bites me. I keep picturing myself like Fred Flintstones eating the HUGE turkey leg. I wonder if I'll...
We got them second hand. They still cost a pretty penny but not as much as brand new. I'm using the lighter colored one (Dickey Incubator, built by a good ol boy right here in the USA) for chicken eggs. I only have 27 eggs in it, but it has a 288 capacity on its 3 auto turner shelves and also...
Update: Set 12 White Orpington eggs on 1-11-12. Candled eggs this morning before sunrise (1-19-12) and have 100% fertility, no quitters, no blood rings, just be-boppin little embryos!! Looking quite good. I also added 13 Murraduna EO's and 2 LF Partridge Wyandottes on 1-17-12. If these all...
I'm in. 12 White Orps set on 1-11-12. We aquired some new hatching equipment this past week, so I just have to test it right? Got a used GFQ 1550 hatcher and a nice used Dickey Incubator. Just got tired of the Homeade Omaha Steak Bator. It let me down on my last hatch, big time. I had the DH...
