Cracked eggs can be set and hatched. Cover cracked area with clear finger nail polish then brush some dirt on it to kill the smell and so it's not sticky and hatch away. Did it twice both times a hatch. With broodies. Eggs were cracked during incubation

So when's the next class?

It’s a Tuesday/Thursday class, so Thursday. I’m unreasonably excited lol.. I really need to get out more.

Do the other 3 classmates have chickens?

Well one of them is my brother in law, and I was just trying to convince my in-laws the other day that they would make great chicken parents so we’ll see haha.

It’s a joint class, there’s us 4 art2 students and then 20 or so art1 students, which is a little awkward.

Just got back home.
I gave Lindi 10mL of untreated water. She took it with more attitude this time.
10mL was a good amount; I could really feel it in her crop this time.

I will try to get her to 40mL total by the end of the day.

I used to set everything, cracked, funny shaped, too big, too small, etc, but many times those eggs have problems hatching, or they die, so I quit doing it and it's been more enjoyable that way.

I usually don't but they were top fowl I was needing to increase numbers. Ordinarily I would and have thrown them

@casportpony What were the volumes of liquid you tube fed your birds today?

Oh, sorry.

66 grams - 3 ml
175 grams - 15 ml
162 grams - 11 ml

Note that all of those numbers were higher than what I normally recommend. I've been tubing all three for a few days now so their crops are used to the volume.

Awesome thanks
I will weigh Lindi tomorrow and start keeping records.

Sorry but I am not adding this to me sheet.


I want this Google Sheet to be for newbs to hatching.
Reminders. We should include on the do not list...do not even set cracked eggs to begin with.
