    Ground Hog's Day Hatch

    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...

    Ground Hog's Day Hatch

    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!

    Ground Hog's Day Hatch

    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...

    Ground Hog's Day Hatch

    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...

    Ground Hog's Day Hatch

    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...

    Ground Hog's Day Hatch

    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...
