Wow took me 3 days to get caught up. Cant let myself get behind again.

 

[chicken fever]

Finally got around to filling out how many eggs I set form!

 

[ronott1]

One thing that I noticed looking through pictures of eggs set is that many of you are putting eggs in the slot right next to the motor on the turner. The manufacturers recommend against this. The motor produces enough heat that it can kill the developing embryo.

I leave that one empty too because I am paranoid.

Reports are that the system on my Genesis can handle the heat from the motor. IDK?

What do you do with Emus? Eat them? Or do you want them just for fun?

Sell the fertile eggs for a fortune! There is also a market for Artists.

Hi everybody! It's been 30 pages since I last checked, and I'm so sorry but I need to get sleep tonight, so I'm just gonna have to be happy about being behind.

I just wanted to share the exciting news that at least 7 of our eggs are ALIVE!!!! YAY!! It took 3 dozen eggs, about 3 months, and a lot of trial and error to get here, so I'm pretty proud of my son and I. I guess that last "ring" wasn't a blood ring like we thought. We are literally dancing around for joy. Here's one of our clearer candling pics.

Neither of our white eggs are developing, which is sad. I wonder if brown eggs are more robust? These came from an ordinary looking flock, I think EE and RIR, and a big proud black rooster.

Goodnight, and good luck!

Sheree

OMG I just had an estrogen meltdown, and it's all your fault. Expect a stern letter from my husband explaining how 'she doesn't need anymore fuzzybutts, tyvm'.

Those are some adorable ducklings! Love the broody momma too.
