14th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

[Kiki]

I know! I'm such a pro.

I got the giggles.

I got the giggles.

And now you've passed them along.

Speaking of Pros, who can answer this one.....if I think my hatch was overheating yesterday, when does the blood ring appear? How many days after? I candled today and cannot see one. (I haven't taken my eggs out of the incubator yet)

I'd say you should know by Tuesday.

As soon as it gets dark I'm going to candle a few of the eggs I just set today.

I hope you have much better luck than I did!

Thank you!!

I've read that female embryos are less likely to survive hot temperatures than males, and that females are more likely to survive chilled eggs. Let us know if you hatch males from the remaining eggs.

I don't believe that because if it were actually true then commercial hatcheries would use temperature controls to hatch mostly females.

I'm sure your right.
I'd might be tempted to chill mine if I believed it.
My current ratio is about 3/1 in favor of males.
